What are EdStacks - Essential Skills?

Students are finding it increasingly difficult to focus and concentrate
on large amounts of information. Generation Z is used to consuming
information digitally and in manageable portions.

Edstacks microlearnings are 20 minute, bite-sized packages of learning
content and activties. When students work with microlearnings,
their engagement and learning ability are 18 percent higher than when
using traditional methods (Parkkonen & Weaver, 2022).

Why focus on Skills?

In a world where AI puts knowledge at everyone’s fingertips, it’s the skills that set students apart.

Being able to find information is no longer the challenge. The real challenge is knowing how to apply that information in a meaningful way. Skills like critical thinking, digital literacy, and understanding the role of AI in society are essential for navigating today’s fast-changing world. Yet many students finish their studies without the practical tools needed to thrive academically, personally, or in the workplace.

That is why we created Edstacks. In collaboration with experienced educators and skills experts, we designed a series of short, impactful learning modules focused on the essential skills that matter most for today’s workplace and society.

EdStacks Format

Edstacks are designed as short, focused microlearning module that helps students build real, practical skills in an engaging and time-efficient way. Each Edstack is built around a clear learning outcome, making it easy for students to apply what they learn right away.

Edstacks are organised into key skill themes and follow three levels:

Fundamentals – the essential building blocks
Proficiency – confident, independent application
Expert – advanced insight and adaptability

Modules within a theme are flexible and stackable. They are intentionally bite sized, so students can complete them in any order and at any time. Whether someone needs a quick refresher or a deeper dive, Edstacks are perfect for just-in-time learning.

Why Edstacks?

✓ Just-in-time learning – students engage when it’s relevant
✓ Plug & play – seamless LTI 1.4 integration with your LMS (Canvas, Brightspace, Moodle, etc.)
✓ Customisable – tailor content to your context
✓ Long-term access – students keep access as long as they’re enrolled

The foundation of the skillset

The content of the skillset is validated by two authoritative international frameworks in higher education:

The Dublin Descriptors for judgement, communication, and learning skills describe the learning outcomes for studies at universities in Europe.
The Inner Development Goals (IDG’s) are a framework of transferable skills for sustainable development related to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. They consist of 5 dimensions (being, thinking, relating, collaborating & acting) and 23 skills.

Additionally, all subjects within the set are grounded in academic research and evidence.

The three learning levels are based on the descriptors of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and further aligned with the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) to ensure academic rigor and consistency.
