Topic
“Building the Digital Education Ecosystem in Estonia in cooperation between universities, ministry and private sector”
Abstract
Estonia is a small, but digitally innovative country. We have been No.1 in Europe when it comes to public digital services (DESI 2018-2021), but also in readiness for digital lifelong learning (CEPS 2019). The foundation for this success helped our education system to cope with COVID-pandemic, but it is a result of a long-term systemic development. In this talk I’ll summarise the key strategies, results and future plans orelated to this continuing effort, focusing specifically on increasing the “smartness” and interoperability of online services for digital learning resources, e-assessment, digital competence development and digital pedagogy.
