Was asked question as to how All Aboard fits with DigComp. Good question, easy(ish) answer: Can construct 'travelcards' corresponding to skills in DigComp. Higher levels addressed in the workshops/activities. AllAboard just lets you use the resources for your own chosen journey.

The OU have a great open online course on 'Taking your Teaching Online' and you can earn a badge which complements those on offer from All Aboard. For link, hop over to allaboardhe.ie/teaching-onlin…
