JISC Discovery Tool - Digital Capabilities
The JISC Discovery Tool supports you to understand your digital capabilities and identify development opportunities. Digital capabilities are the essential skills needed to live, learn and work in a digital world. This includes being able to create digital content, communicate and network online, manage your online identity, research online, and evaluate and use digital tools and technologies.
The Jisc Discovery Tool corresponds to the six elements of the Jisc digital capabilities framework. Together these capabilities have the power to enhance your practice, your ability to collaborate with others, your access to opportunities, your online presence and your digital wellbeing.
We highly recommend you log into the Jisc Discovery tool and complete the Overall Digital Capabilities question set.
