Digital media has become an integral part of our daily lives. In some social groups social media take up peoples’ attention throughout the day, offering access to endless streams of information, wanted or unwanted. Others feel challenged by the demands society puts on them, where more and more public services can only be accessed through digital channels. For the adult educator this can lead to changes in their possibilities, tasks and most importantly: roles.
In this workshop we will address some of the opportunities and challenges these advances in digital media pose to adult educators. Some of the core questions we will address are: What do new possibilities offered by digital media mean for the competences of the adult educator in creating, curating and delivering learning materials for learners? What interpersonal competences are required when an adult educator takes on the role of a leader for a group of learners who collaborate online part time or full time? What is the role of adult educators in promoting, developing and fostering modern digital competencies and literacies among adult learners? What does this mean for the professional development of the adult educator? What does it mean for institutions who hire adult educators?
Participants will discuss some of the themes introduced in these introductions in groups and in the plenum as well as pondering their meaning for adult educator competencies and their development.
Introductions

The goal of this workshop is to inform and motivate participant about digital skills, which we find important for adult educators. Moreover to create a discussion about these skills ending with a weighted list of suggestions from the workshop about what digital skills we find adult educators should develop.
