University teaching has encountered significant challenges in recent years, particularly with the need for students to master digital tools and environments. The digital transformation of education necessitates a focus on students as users of digital learning platforms, which can facilitate flexible and personalized teaching. A digital learning management system (LMS) should not only serve as a teaching tool but also as a mediator for developing essential skills through customizable content, promoting student-centered learning. This shift enhances student motivation through individualized incentives and increased autonomy. The constructive alignment model links teaching activities, examinations, and learning outcomes, all centered on students’ needs. It emphasizes the acquisition of competencies through well-designed assessments and learning activities. Digital competencies can be mapped using the European DigComp Framework, ensuring that both learning outcomes and assessment methods align with these competencies.
