The evidence presented in the UNESCO-UNEVOC trends mapping study on digital skills development in TVET teacher training – covering pre-pandemic trends in TVET teachers’ and trainers’ digital capabilities, pandemic trends in TVET providers’ success in transitioning to fully remote training environments, and barriers to TVET teachers’/trainers’ acquisition of relevant digital skills for integrating digital technologies in their teaching and for delivering TVET remotely – suggests that the following are needed to support digitalization in TVET and in TVET teacher training.

Velocity Arcademy, a self-funded EdTech start-up operating in Cambodia, has developed a gamified upskilling platform that aims to transform teachers and trainers into digital educators by equipping them with up-to-date digital and pedagogical skills and competencies. Prior to launching its platform in 2020, Velocity Arcademy spoke to several TVET providers who were seeking digital skills training for their teachers/trainers to help them to deliver education and training remotely. While the providers understood the need for digitalization to expand access to their programmes, they did not understand the importance of linking digital skills to pedagogical skills to introduce new and more engaging teaching techniques. Velocity Arcademy has designed its upskilling platform to motivate teachers/trainers to participate in continuous professional development through incorporating two features: gamification, which makes training fun, and a system of digital badges, which are awarded to teachers/trainers who complete its training modules. Velocity Arcademy’s upskilling platform is usable in low-bandwidth internet areas and is available in both Khmer and English.
