- Ensuring curriculum and assessment relevance in a digital context
- Extending the skills and confidence of teachers in the appropriate and effective use of digital technology
Participants will be asked to consider how the priorities for action outlined under the four themes in the strategy can be shaped to ensure that they are workable, applicable and relevant across Scotland.
Conversations will be facilitated by members of the Digital Learning and Teaching programme team. A record of key points will be recorded and considered along with the formal consultation responses. Participants will also be encouraged to visit the website and contribute their views.
