Tell us of any excellent materials you know for developing digital support expertise!
The digital support material bank is seeking more content that works in digital support work.
If you or your organisation have produced materials that are also suitable for other digital support providers and you would like to share the material with others, please contact us by email at digituki[at]dvv.fi and tell us more about it.
Our aim is to produce up-to-date and evaluated material for the use of digital support providers. In addition, we support the competence of digital support providers by compiling and publishing learning and support materials in the Digital Support Material Bank. To ensure that the material bank is as clear and up-to-date as possible, we have prepared the methods and criteria for publishing digital support materials together with digital support providers.
You - digital actors - regularly produce good and necessary material related to digital support. Let's work together to make the digital support run smoothly!
