Greek University Educators' Digital Educational Needs from a Delphi Study

A 2026 modified three-round Delphi study involving experts from diverse academic disciplines across Greek Higher Education Institutions. The research provides an evidence-based mapping of priority areas for professional development in educators' digital skills. The dataset is a PDF document detailing 11 consensus-based essential needs, authored by Ioanna Dratsiou and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Designing micro-learning courses for university educators based on identified priority needs.
• Analyzing consensus patterns in digital competence gaps among higher education faculty.
• Informing policy and resource allocation for digital skills training in academic institutions.
• Benchmarking digital educational needs against established frameworks like HeDiCom.

Strengths

• The study employed a rigorous modified three-round Delphi methodology to achieve expert consensus.
• Findings are structured around 11 'Essential' needs clustered into two core thematic axes.
• The dataset is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 170.3 KB PDF report; the underlying raw data (e.g., survey responses, ratings) is not provided.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the report text.
• The geographic scope is limited to Greek Higher Education Institutions, which may limit generalizability.
