45 C20. Content creation This competence refers to involve learners in modifying and creating digital content in different formats to express themselves. It implies guiding them to copyright, licence, and reference digital resources. Examples of use: As part of the digital world, learners need to be able to make their knowledge and ideas available to reach and connect with others. In fact, all we see through our screens were created by someone. The challenge is to create an easily accessible and attractive content to engage the audience. Adult educators can facilitate this process of "the material people contribute to the online world" 9 . There are several ways to involve and encourage learners in this process that you can incorporate in your learning activities, assignments, and assessments. Learners will eventually become competent in: • Expressing ideas, knowledge, and information through digital means. • Creating, modifying, and refining digital content in different formats. • Understanding and applying the policies of copyright and license. • Planning and developing effective instruction for a computing system to solve a certain problem or perform a specific activity. How can you enhance digital content creation of learners? Digital content can be created for a variety of reasons with the most important, including self- expression, distribution of information, marketing, and publishing. Typical forms of digital content for learners to create include blogs, article writing, photos, videos, social media profiles, websites, graphics, infographics, images, presentations, news items and reports. Therefore, some straightforward ways to stimulate this competence in your lessons are: • Get in the process of presenting several tools, equipment, and methods for easy content creation during a lesson. • Assign them to publish their work on a relevant blog site or in their social media (e.g., LinkedIn). • Refer often to their audience (Is content attractive, relevant, easy to read, useful for them? How can it be improved?). • Review and criticise some digital content you meet during the lesson. • Interpret the messaging and intention behind online content. 9 Lenhart, A., Fallows, D., & Horrigan, B.
