The objectives are to create, implement and
evaluate 15 modules teaching various
specific topics related to everyday life
covering DCs as a “Digital Immigrants
Survival Kit” (DISK), to use flipped learning
3.0 as the training approach, to create an
innovative self-evaluation tool based on
competency-based self-evaluation
mandalas, to create a transferability and
implementation guide, to transfer the results
and outcomes in a flexible way in other
European countries and finally to publish the
modules of the DISK Toolkit as Open
