About Edinburgh Learns Digital

The Empowered Learning programme has provided every learner from P6 to S6 in Edinburgh with their own digital device and ensured that Nursery to P5 learners have access to Shared iPads as part of our ambitious and inclusive education strategy, Edinburgh Learns for Life. 

The development of digital learning in our education settings is led and supported by the Edinburgh Learns Digital team. This team consists of a Quality Improvement Education Officer and a number of permanent and seconded Development Officers, and aims to help education settings “effectively embed digital strategy and digital pedagogy in teaching, learning and assessment to improve outcomes for all learners”. 

Support across the key areas of digital strategy, skills, pedagogy and curriculum delivery is provided through a range of activities and opportunities including strategic advice, online skills development courses, webinars, central and bespoke in-school professional learning, live lessons and curriculum development. 

This website primarily aims to provide advice, resources and support to teachers on effective digital literacy and learning, Computing Science and digital skills training. It also provides some information and support for learners and parents/carers.
