[Project Number: 2021-1-CZ01-KA220-ADU-000035241] Why the Netiquette+ Competence framework? This Competence framework is the first result of a strategic partnership for the adult education project titled Netiquette+ – Fundamentals for fostering Netiquette in the Digital Age. Funded by the Erasmus+ programme, the objective of the project is twofold: first, to provide participating organisations with a set of tangible results to support adult educators in the process of mainstreaming and transferring relevant knowledge and skills on netiquette; second, to foster low-skilled adult learners’ awareness, knowledge and skills to take part in the digital society critically, consciously and responsibly. The main goal of the Netiquette+ Competence framework is to define the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are most relevant to the target groups – low-skilled adult learners and adult educators – in the participating countries. It provides Adult Education sector with a state-of-the-art instrument to help professionals to identify the learning needs of adult learners, devise didactic activities and pedagogical strategies, as well as to assess learners’ netiquette skills. For this, the use of European Qualification Framework (EQF) and The digital competence framework for citizens (DigComp 2.1) tools and methodologies are embedded to define and describe the competences that are required to boost netiquette in the digital age and provide adult educators with a formal but dynamic competence framework on netiquette. It is structured around four key-areas: 1) online ethics and netiquette 2) communication modes and strategies 3) generational diversity 4) cultural diversity To draft the Competence framework, an extended needs analysis was carried out in all nine participating countries through a public consultation with the Local Expert Groups, aiming to take into consideration their concerns, critical reflection and insights on how low skilled adult learners can make a positive, responsible and ethic use of digital technologies in their daily lives, educational settings, and workplace. The ultimate goal was to ensure that this framework is relevant and has the expected impact in these countries and their Adult Education systems. A high level of transferability potential is also expected, serving as inspiration to other educational sectors, such as Vocational Education and Training or High Education, and European countries, as this project result is available online as on open resource in eight languages: Czech, English, French, German, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.
