EfVET has been actively engaged in the area of Digitalisation and Technology Enhanced, via the participation in different working groups established by the European Commission, as well as via the Thematic Team that has been dedicated to Technology Enhanced Learning and via other Erasmus+ projects aiming at promoting the digitalisation of teaching and learning methodologies in VET. EfVET has also been actively engaged in the promotion of the SELFIE tool launched by the European Commission in 2017.
The European Commission launched in 2017 a new tool to support Schools and VET colleges in their use of the digital technologies. The tool is called SELFIE (Self-reflection on Effective Learning by Fostering the use of Innovative Educational technologies) and is available (for free) online and since its beginning it has been used extensively by different countries having been translated to 31 different languages. SELFIE has been developed by the European Commission and an international team of experts with input from more than 5000 school leaders, teachers and students from EU countries.
More than 400 schools from Spain, Italy, Estonia, Belgium (Flanders), Denmark, Ireland, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, Finland, Serbia, and the UK (Northern Ireland) have participated in the SELFIE school pilots since September 2017.
SELFIE provides Schools and VET providers with confidential reports, including graphs and recommendations for further development and improvement.

In May 2020, the Joint Research Centre launched a call for tenders for Piloting SELFIE for work-based learning contexts in VET (SELFIE WBL). The call was intended to target 3 countries specifically: Germany (LOT 1), France (LOT 2), Hungary and Poland (LOT 3).
The aim of this Tender is to conduct pilot studies of SELFIE WBL in Germany, France, Poland, and Hungary to test the tool and receive feedback in view of improving it before its eventual online launch. More specifically, the goal is to develop, implement and validate the SELFIE WBL tool that can be useful to VET schools, companies and policymakers at local, regional, national or EU level.
This call for tenders was perceived as a great opportunity for EfVET to further pursuing the work on the digitalisation sector linking it to the work-based learning sector which is very much in line with our Strategic Plan 2019-2021.
EfVET has been awarded all the lots and piloted the SELFIE WBL tool starting in July 2020 for 7 months in the 4 countries working closely with the National Members more specifically:

Hungary: Association for Hungarian Digital Education (AHDE)
Poland: Polish Foundation of the Opportunities Industrialization Centers βOIC POLANDβ
