Since publishing DigComp 3.0, the JRC has been alerted to some errata, with thanks to the DigComp community.
The published DigComp 3.0 framework, data collection and editable version of the framework have not been changed.
The errata are listed below. Users of the framework should consult this list and make the relevant corrections to translated or adapted local versions of DigComp 3.0.
Please send notification of any inconsistencies to JRC-DigComp
ec [dot] europa [dot] eu (JRC-DigComp[at]ec[dot]europa[dot]eu). These will be checked by the JRC and added to the list below, which will be updated regularly.
Erratum | DigComp framework | DigComp data collection |
|---|---|---|
| Examples in Box 3 on page 25 of the DigComp 3.0 framework refer to incorrect Competence Statement IDs | In Box 3, page 25: Example I should be Competence statement 3.1.14, not Competence statement 2.2.08. Example II should be Competence statement 2.4.05, not Competence Statement 2.4.08. Example III should be 3.2.06 not 2.1.14. | Not applicable |
| Number of AI-explicit competence statements in Box 3 on page 25 of the DigComp 3.0 framework is incorrect | In Box 3, page 25: The text "14% (50) are AI-explicit" should be corrected to "14% (49) are AI-explicit". | Not applicable |
| The change in wording of Competence Area 1 in DigComp 3.0 compared to DigComp 2.2 is not fully captured in Table A2 of Annex 1 | In Annex 1, page 78, Table A2, under "Competence area and description" the title should be corrected to "1 Information and data literacy search, evaluation and management", with strikethough on "and data literacy" and underline on "search, evaluation and management". | Not applicable |

| Learning outcomes for Competence 2.5: LO2.5.09 duplicates LO2.5.07 | In Annex 2, page 96, LO2.5.09 should be deleted and the LOs from 2.5.09 to 2.5.21 should be re-numbered to 2.5.08 to 2.5.20, so that there are 20 LOs in total for competence 2.5, not 21. | In both the spreadsheet and JSONLD formats, LO2.5.09 should be deleted and the LOs from 2.5.09 to 2.5.21 should be re-numbered to 2.5.08 to 2.5.20, so that there are 20 LOs in total for competence 2.5, not 21. |
| Learning outcome for Competence 2.5: Correction needed to wording of LO2.5.15 | In Annex 2, page 96, for LO2.5.15, the word "respective" should be replaced with "respectful". | In both the spreadsheet and JSONLD formats, for LO2.5.15, the word "respective" should be replaced with the word "respectful". |

| Learning outcome for Competence 4.3: Correction needed to wording of LO4.3.18 | In Annex 2, page 106, LO4.3.18 should be re-worded to include reference to deceptive design, i.e. "Describe strategies to help protect against and respond effectively to harmful behaviour, content and deceptive design in digital environments". | In both the spreadsheet and JSONLD formats, LO4.3.18 should be re-worded to include reference to deceptive design, i.e. "Describe strategies to help protect against and respond effectively to harmful behaviour, content and deceptive design in digital environments". |
| Learning outcome for Competence 4.3: Correction needed to wording for LO4.3.22 | In Annex 2, page 106, LO4.3.22 should be re-worded to include reference to deceptive design, i.e. "Implement strategies to help protect oneself against and respond effectively to harmful behaviour, content and deceptive design in digital environments". | In both the spreadsheet and JSONLD formats, LO4.3.22 should be re-worded to include reference to deceptive design, i.e. "Implement strategies to help protect oneself against and respond effectively to harmful behaviour, content and deceptive design in digital environments". |
| Learning outcome for Competence 5.2: Correction needed to wording for LO5.2.12 | In Annex 2, page 109, LO5.2.12 should be reworded to: "Adjust features of digital environments, and use digital assistance tools and assistive technologies, to suit one’s own and others’ needs and preferences". | In both the spreadsheet and the JSONLD formats, LO5.2.12 should be reworded to: "Adjust features of digital environments, and use digital assistance tools and assistive technologies, to suit one’s own and others’ needs and preferences". |
| Learning outcome for Competence 5.4: Correction needed to wording for LO5.4.13 | In Annex 2, page 111, LO5.4.13 should refer also to problem-solving capabilities, i.e. "Support others to develop confidence, autonomy and problem-solving capabilities in digital environments". | In both the spreadsheet and the JSONLD formats, LO5.4.13 should be reworded to "Support others to develop confidence, autonomy and problem-solving capabilities in digital environments". |
| Annex 3, page 112: Minor errors in the counts of learning outcomes. | The numbers should be corrected in Annex 3, page 112, as showh in bold: "A 'foundation' set of 391 learning outcomes which were compiled from the 303 examples from Dimension 4 and Annexes 2 and 3 of DigComp 2.2 (Vuorikari et al., 2022a) and the 82 items from the DigComp Self-Assessment Tool (DigCompSAT) item bank (Clifford et al., 2020) was then added to the learning outcomes dataset along with 6 items included in the pilot DigCompSAT instrument. The content of the Quite relevant and Somewhat relevant submissions was then reviewed and checked against the learning outcomes dataset. Where a key concept or skill was not covered in the learning outcomes dataset, but relevant to include, a learning outcome was drafted to cover it. This resulted in the addition of 38 learning outcome statements to the learning outcomes dataset, which at that stage consisted of 2,917 learning outcome statements classified by competence area, competence and proficiency level". | Not applicable |
