The acquired competence and its validation, as learning outcome is the key of the legibility of European degrees and qualifications for the students, the employees as more globally training institutions and companies. The improvement of the integration and the professional mobility is conditioned by the implementation at the universities of a competence-based technology, condition of the curricula harmonization and their positioning in the new European qualifications framework. The digital competence, the use of the ICT tools are essential for the student, the employee and more generally the European citizen in their study, work and life in this 21st century. The place of e-learning becoming dominant frame of the lifelong learning represents a relevant example of this need.
To answer the need for qualifying the acquired ICTs, the French Ministry for Education developed public qualifications from primary to higher education. In Higher education, computer and internet Certificates (C2i) have been created at Bachelor’s level.
The “C2i level 1” certifies operational competences, especially the ICT abilities in communication and collaborative working. At Master’s level, the “C2i level 2” certificates assess the competence identified by sectoral branches for the domain aimed by the programme. The methods used for development and implementation of these certificates are explained in this article, with a complete presentation of competence identified for the C2i level 1 and the C2i level 2 in the sector of “law”.
The introduction of qualification of ICT competence in higher education joins in the will that all the students do have this transverse certified competence, both for their successful study and for their future vocational integration. The cultural revolution that represents the qualification at university level and its generalization in "traditional" curricula will be a main theme of this presentation.
