The Digital Learning and Teaching Strategy for Scotland was published today.

The strategy aims to create the condition to allow digital technology to enhance learning and teaching across all curriculum areas. In doing so it will enable educators, learners and parents to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by digital technology.

Aim of the Strategy

“In order to realise our vision, partners at both a national and local level must work together to achieve all four of the following essential and interrelated objectives that are central to successful digital learning, teaching and assessment:

• Develop the skills and confidence of educators in the appropriate and effective use of digital technology to support learning and teaching

• Improve access to digital technology for all learners

• Ensure that digital technology is a central consideration in all areas of curriculum and assessment delivery

• Empower leaders of change to drive innovation and investment in digital technology for learning and teaching”
