Empowering ICT skills of teachers in adult education in Serbia by using digital comics: a micro-credential approach

Abstract

This paper introduces adult education practitioners to micro-credentials that can be used in the teaching process. Teachers are already involved in online training essential for their professional development, and many of them are striving to increase their digital literacy. The use of comics in digital form can significantly improve the educational results of learners, and at the same time improve the ICT skills of teachers. Today's individualized approach to teacher training means that anyone can access online courses that interest them. The literature has confirmed the value of different forms of comics at all levels of formal education, where positive experiences in learning English stand out. Online learning platforms offer a variety of courses and video lessons in the field of digital comics, focusing on the benefits of using it in the teaching process. Smaller countries such as Serbia understand the importance of the development and application of digital technologies in education, so the number of courses for this segment of professional development is gradually increasing.
