Digital intelligence is a comprehensive set of technical, cognitive, meta-cognitive, and socio-emotional competencies that enable individuals to face the challenges of and harness the opportunities of digital life. The digital intelligence standard establishes a framework that encompasses digital literacy, skills, and readiness, comprising eight areas of digital life–identity, use, safety, security, emotional intelligence, literacy, communication, and rights–across three levels of experience–citizenship, creativity, and competitiveness.
The purpose of this standard is to establish a global standard with a common framework to help ensure that digital literacy and competency efforts are coordinated globally. This standard represents a global framework for digital intelligence, which includes a common set of definitions, language, and understanding of digital literacy, skills, and readiness that can be adopted by all stakeholders worldwide, including national governments, education industry, technology industry, companies, and society as a whole.
New IEEE Standard – Active. In today’s digital age, technology has a firm grasp on practically every aspect of human life, consequently there is growing cross-sector demand to help individuals build digital competencies such as digital literacy, digital skills, and digital readiness. However, there is no universally accepted meaning of terms like “digital literacy,” “digital skills,” or “digital readiness,” which can lead to difficulty coordinating efforts to improve digital competencies worldwide. Digital Intelligence (DQ) was developed to encompass a comprehensive set of technical, cognitive, meta-cognitive, and socio-emotional competencies, which are grounded in universal moral values and enable individuals to face the challenges of digital life and adapt to its demands. The DQ Framework is comprised of 8 areas of digital life–identity, use, safety, security, emotional intelligence, literacy, communication, and rights–across 3 levels of experience–citizenship, creativity, and competitiveness. The objective of this standard is to establish a DQ global standard that encompasses a common framework to ensure that digital competency building efforts are coordinated globally. It includes a common set of definitions, language, and understanding of digital literacy, skills, and readiness that can be adopted by all stakeholders worldwide, including national governments, the educational industry, the technology industry, international agencies, private companies, and society as a whole.
