The Results of the Project Higher Education Teachers' Digital Literacy Improvement

Abstract

The ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution and the environment of digitalisation have a significant impact on the whole society. This development also affects the education system, especially higher education teachers. It is necessary to adequately respond to the mentioned changes, as confirmed by the international document ‘Horizon Report’ or the national document ‘Digital Education Strategy for 2020’. According to these documents, modern teachers need to use digital technologies to support pedagogical approach and didactic practice. Therefore, the University of Finance and Administration (VŠFS) educates its teachers also in the field of digitalisation. For this reason, in 2020, 2021 and 2022 VŠFS implemented the European Economic Area (EEA) project focused on improving the digital literacy of higher education teachers (EHP-CZ-MOP-2-003).
