“Digital Competence License”: Presentation and evaluation of an interdisciplinary virtual collaborative learning

This paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation of the “Digital Competence License” course at the Dresden University of Technology, which aims to prepare students for the demands of a digitalised working world. The course promotes digital competences in accordance with the EU-DigComp 2.2, as well as interdisciplinary teamwork through Virtual Collaborative Learning (VCL), which enables problem-based and learner-centred learning and is based on a specially developed case study. The evaluation results show positive changes in students’ general and digital competences and are interpreted in the context of university development.
