The project to improve digital capacity for students by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and Meta Company has initially been successfully implemented.

The content of the working session focused on evaluating the results of the Project on Improving Digital Capacity for Students jointly implemented by the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU and Meta Company (formerly Facebook).

At the working session, Dr. Do Van Hung, representative of the Project Coordination Board, briefly presented the implementation process in 2021-2022 with very positive and typical results:

• The digital competency framework developed for students in this project is the first digital competency framework in Vietnam. The competency framework has been referenced by domestic training institutions to develop digital competency development programs for students.
• Established a digital humanities club: creating a playground for USSH youth to develop digital skills and solve their problems in the digital world
• Organize the national contest “Messages for the digital generation”: create videos, spread messages about actions that contribute to making life better and safer in the digital environment
• Integrating the contents of the Digital Age Thinking program into the Information Competency course being taught at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and has trained more than 2,000 students.
• Develop a handbook on digital competencies for students and distribute it widely.
• Building a Digital Competency course in the Information Management bachelor program.

Mr. Ruici highly appreciated the efforts and achievements of the project, and thanked the leaders of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities for dedicating maximum resources to implementing this project. He emphasized that the final activity of the project is to organize a national workshop to report the results of the project as well as prepare for bilateral cooperation in Phase 2. This includes expanding the application of the digital competency framework to member schools in the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, implementing a digital competency course in the form of MOOC (Massive open online course) and a digital competency assessment toolkit.

On behalf of the School, Prof. Hoang Anh Tuan thanked Meta Company for its cooperation and support over the years, and affirmed that the School always prioritizes developing the necessary skills for students to adapt well to the digital transformation context, especially digital capacity. The School is committed to dedicating resources to successfully implementing the project and hopes to continue accompanying Meta in the future.
