WELCOME TO THE

Digital Skills Library

 

The Digital Skills Library is an open repository of free learning resources designed to help all adult learners develop the digital skills needed to achieve their personal, civic, educational, and career goals.

The library is managed by World Education through its EdTech Center and CrowdED Learning initiative. All resources within this library have been curated by educators to align to the skills framework within the BRIDGES Digital Resilience Toolkit.

All activities in the library are also included in SkillBlox, which allows you to search by skill, select activities you wish to use, and then organize and share these activities as playlists with others. The library continues to be updated and added to through crowdsourced contributions and EdTech Maker Space projects.
