Summary

Reasons:

In order to respond to:

• ET2020 - the consortium will develop a European Strategic Framework for Computing Education and Training 2020 (ESFCET 2020), which will form a solid, global strategic framework that leverages local and transnational competences to enhance Computing Education in Europe.
• European Qualification Framework - ETN FETCH will develop a European Evaluation Framework in Computing Education and Training 2020 (EEFCET 2020), which will evaluate the three factors: Knowledge, Skills and Competences gained from Computing Education and Training.
• The Tuning Methodology - the project will prepare recommendations for future Digital Curricula in Computing Education and Training 2020 (DCCET 2020).
• Introducing modern innovative technologies in education - new didactical theories and learning models for using social media in education will be developed.
