Since 2021, researchers at CcaM and ASCoR, have worked on a tool to assess digital competence across the lifespan (project DIGCOM; see also: dedigiq.nl), commisioned by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (minBZK). As a follow-up to this project, CcaM/ASCoR and minBZK have launched project Competence Insight Dashbord (or: project CID) in April 2024, to monitor trends in digital competence.
In project CID, communication scientists Jessica Piotrowski, Annemarie van Oosten, Claes de Vreese, and Dian de Vries (now working at the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences) investigate how digital competences change as technology develops. They are also developing a dashboard that shows at a glance which population groups need the most help in order to deploy interventions more effectively. A first round of data-collection is planned to take place in the Fall of 2024.
