The online training for university students The training description
The online training develops university students’ digital competences in line with the DigComp framework, with a strong focus on the effective and responsible use of artificial intelligence. Participants enhance their information and data literacy by learning to critically evaluate AI-generated content and use AI tools for research and data analysis. The training also strengthens digital communication and content creation skills, enabling participants to produce professional materials and apply effective prompting strategies. A key component is safety and responsibility, including awareness of ethical, legal, and psychological aspects such as data protection, bias, and academic integrity. Finally, participants build problem-solving competences, allowing them to integrate AI into their work, optimize processes, and make informed, reflective decisions about its use.
The training modules content is based on needs identified in WP2 report and the European Digital Competence Framework that describes a set of digital competencies required in the modern society.
