CUTIE Project

The aim of the project ‘CUTIE - Competences for University Teaching & Institutional Empowerment’ is to develop approaches to improve and enhance digital competencies for university teaching which can be implemented at institutional and departmental levels, thereby facilitating systemic impact and integrating on them the voices of different actors that improve the approach and make it more participatory and significant. With this in mind, CUTIE will start collecting examples of initiatives and actions aiming at developing teachers’ digital competencies in HE (WP2), implemented by various institutions and projects (including CUTE https://cutetoolkit.ku.dk/) across Europe. As a result, we will create a catalogue of actions, and case uses, usable for different institutions for promoting DTC among their institutions. Then, in the WP3, we will work in exploring models for institutionally integrating students’ voices in the teaching' digital competencies development, through co-creation. The ambition of this part is to embrace the student perspective and student influence on institutional resources and tools regarding DTC for support units and teachers to use. The other main objective of CUTIE is supporting and empowering people with management responsibilities for teaching and learning, giving them better tools and strategies to use an institutional approach to support their teachers in achieving more digital competencies. For this WP4 will design and develop an online, flexible course (OER). In addition to these objectives, CUTIE has the aim of creating and maintaining channels of dissemination that enrich the conversation, debates and interchanges about strategical approaches for improving Digital Competencies for Teachers at the HE institutional and individual level.
