- provides guidance on the digital skills teachers and tutors need and how they can be developed
- examines issues of digital safety, security and responsibility and how online learning communities can be accessed
- applies critical thinking, creativity and responsibility to the processes of using digital technologies inside and outside of the classroom

Providing a comprehensive framework, underpinned by the standards through which to develop digital literacy skills, this is an essential resource for those teaching or training to teach in the FE and Skills sector.
