Edutec Guide
What is it?

Edutec Guide is a free resource that helps teachers assess their digital skills and receive a personalized training plan. In addition, it offers school directors a questionnaire to assess the level of technological adoption in their institutions, generating personalized reports with training resources. The data collected from teachers and schools is made available to educational systems to improve the integration of technology in education. This web tool facilitates the management of records and data, supporting institutions in strengthening their technological educational plans.

What problems does it solve?

The Edutec Guide allows us to measure the status of each educational system in terms of the digital skills of teachers and the technological adoption of educational centers. This is important for educational authorities, since it allows them to identify areas for improvement and analyze how to prioritize investment in various actions. In this sense, the diagnosis is essential to develop a digital transformation plan appropriate for each context, providing a solid basis for the planning and execution of appropriate and effective interventions.
