What is competence?

• All the factors for an actor to perform in an
  ecological niche.
• The context in the ecological niche has an
  important impact, and to enable people to act in
  an ecological niche effectively, meta competences
  are necessary.
• To develop competences over time, including the
  changes of the ecological niche, meta cognitive

iJET

• This interdisciplinary journal aims to focus on
  the exchange of relevant trends and research
  results as well as the presentation of practical
  experiences gained while developing and testing
  elements of technology enhanced learning. So it
  aims to bridge the gape between pure academic
  research journals and more practical
  publications. So it covers the full range from
  research, application development to experience
  reports and product descriptions.
