• The main part of the training consists of briefings, demonstrations, and didactic tips (20%).
• Self-study and personal work are required outside the online sessions (80%).
• At the end of the training there is a formal part consisting of a final exam (conceptual) and a skills exam (practical).

IoT Fundamentals Curriculum Overview PPT

Here is the latest information concerning the new IoT Fundamentals Curriculum (2 March 2017):

PPT: Download BiASC_IoT Fundamentals 2 0 Curriculum Overview-March 2

Verkenningsdag ICT Basisvaardigheden - Brussel - 27/01/2017

• Deelnemers: uit Vlaanderen, Brussel, Wallonië en Nederland
• Onderwijsniveaus: secundair, volwassenen, hoger
• Focusvraag: Welke vaardigeheden zijn nodig voor de digitale economie?

Vaststellingen

• Digitale vaardigheden worden voor een deel bepaald door het afnemende werkveld
• Competenties kunnen aangetoond door objectieve examens: certificering
• Er is nood aan opleiding van niet-ICT docenten (train the trainer)
• Ook in Wallonië is er aandacht voor excellentie en samenwerking met het werkveld
• Het zou goed zijn indien in het secundair onderwijs meer wordt gewerkt rond ICT in brede zin (dus ruimer dan de Office-paketten), want onbekend is onbemind.

Digitale Vaardigheden

+ Algemene begripsvorming + Gebruik mobiele ICT middelen + Tekstverwerking + Internet
+ E-mailtoepassingen en digitale agenda + Social Media + Security awareness/privacy + Documentmanagement
+ Spreadsheet + Gegevensverwerking + Kennis van ICT, inclusief besturing + Arbo-zaken
+ Presentatiepakketten

Er wordt een onderscheid tussen basis en gevorderde competenties. Basis is voor elke zittende werknemer nodig.
