DigiTaKS*- Digital key competences for studies and work

The research and development project “Digital key competences for studies and work (DigiTaKS*) - Development of a model for the transformative digital competence development of students” is funded in two phases (2021-2024, 2025-2026) as part of dtec.bw and is located in the OPAL research cluster.

In the context of DigiTaKS*, the development of key digital skills for work and society at the university is examined. Students (also beyond technology-oriented degree programs) are thus addressed as future 'digital change agents'.

You can find a complete project overview here.

The project partners

From 2025-2026, the sub-project AP2 at JMU is dedicated to the digital-didactic research and conceptualization of (international) synchronous-hybrid learning and working spaces for successfully dealing with the increasing diversity of learners in higher education and in adult and continuing education. 

An overview of the project results (2021-2024) of WP2 to date can be found here.
