The UPSKILLEAD project seeks to understand the digital world while it aims to update the digital skills of Adult Educators. Adult educators face many challenges as they deal with increasingly complex and diverse learning situations in a constantly changing work environment with the evolvement of new technologies and a constantly changing labour market with highly technical demands for skills. Digital skills are essential for bridging the gap between the education and the work and achieving better.

Thus, the consortium decided to investigate the current scene of each partner country to identify the current e-skill needs (IO1).  Based on the results, the UPSKILLEAD consortium identified the Digital Competences to be included in the UPSKILLEAD Framework (IO2). The framework has been used to develop the curriculum/training material to be followed by Adult Educators (IO3). It has been designed with benchmarks and indicators against which Adult Educators skills will be evaluate. This Intellectual Output involves the design and the development of the Open Badge eco-system for the validation of the digital skills acquired by Adult Educators.  The framework includes the theoretical and practical knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the Adult Educators as well as the teaching and the assessment methods.  The consortium decided to evaluate the practical knowledge acquired by the Adult Educator and award an Open Badge when the criteria have been met.

The introduction of this recognition and validation process through the use of the Open Badges is an added value to the project, as it will enable Adult Educators to have a valid proof of this learning which can be added to their CV, profile or portfolio in addition to the Europass Certificate and the Certificate of Participation. The Open Badges is a motivating procedure which will encourage and provide incentives for Adult Educators to continue their participation. It is linked to the digital skills, as Open Badges are created on-line through the use of an open-platform and can be shown on various personal pages, such as FB, Twitter, LinkedIn etc. In addition, Adult Educators will be able to use this method for their own teaching for adult learners in order to motivate them to participate in LLL opportunities.
