Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
In the Norwegian national curriculum reform «The Subject Renewal» (2020), the main objective has been to strengthen in depth-learning, understanding, critical thinking and reflection, and to develop subject curricula with more relevant content. The overall objective has been to provide a curriculum that prepares students for the future. Thus, in the reform digital competence has been significantly strengthened.
Digital competencies in subject curricula are diverse, including digital literacy, competence to develop digital technology (programming/coding), problem-solving methods in terms of computational thinking, a.o. The article describes this diversity and discusses its complexity and some consequences for implementation.
