Introducing the unified digital skills framework: DSFOne
‘Digital skills’ is a comprehensive term for a wide range of digital skills, from digital skills required in everyday life, to those advanced skills required for the appropriate and effective use of digital devices and the internet in particular work contexts or sectors.
The DSFOne was developed to facilitate a local, shared understanding of these fields and to assist stakeholders in navigating the landscape.
The distinctive characteristics of the DSFOne, that qualify it as a unifying framework, relates to two key components:
-
Acknowledging six particular digital competences as the basic building blocks of the spectrum of digital skills.
-
Identifying four broad, definable digital skills ecosystems relating to people’s use of technology that differentiate these distinct nuances, yet integrate them into one unifying framework.
