The CICERO course used digital photography to convey digital competences. Therefore, images are a central issue. To put it better, one could say: All about images. You have to see this short statement in two ways: On the one hand, the course actually offers a lot of information about images, on the other hand, working with images is used to impart knowledge and skills in the field of digital skills.
Image knowledge and skills
This area of the CICERO course focuses on image composition and proper use of all types of cameras.
The term cameras addresses – in the context of the course – smart phone cameras as well as DLSR and similar cameras.
Digital competences
This part of the course addresses the knowledge area and skills in the field of digital competences. The consortium orientated itself on the DigComp 2.0 framework and integrated essential content from this framework into the course.
In this project, hundreds of people from Austria, Greece, Portugal, and Spain participated in these courses. They created hundreds of pictures during the learning process. These images have been peer-evaluated, discussed, published in a joint facebook group and used for further work.
