PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The objective of ADELE project is to design and test a self-assessment tool to improve digital competence in the library sector. It fits into the projects for adult education.

The design of the ADELE tool starts from an existing product: SELFIE, a similar tool for schools, designed to be used by schools offering formal education, later extended to non-formal education environments.

WHAT WILL BE DONE?

Concretely, the activities to be implemented in the project are:

  • Development of methodological framework and testing of the tool with at least 100 selected libraries
  • Conceptual design of a beta version: the ADELE tool
  • Technical development of the beta version ADELE tool
  • Further testing and review
  • Finalisation of the final version of ADELE tool
  • Development of a toolkit to support digital transformation of non-formal learning institutions using the ADELE self-assessment tool.

 EXPECTED RESULTS

  • Web-based self-assessment tool for libraries
  • Trained librarian staff
  • ADELE tool tested in 100 libraries across Europe
  • Transnational Network of Public Libraries
