Abstract
This chapter presents a national initiative for creating a framework that develops academic digital literacy across higher education institutions in Denmark. The STAK project (Students' Academic Digital Competencies in Higher Education) is a 2-year cross-institutional project between five higher education institutions in Denmark. The project targets both capacity building within the institutions in relation to integrating 'expanded information literacy', as well as competency development of educational developers and teachers across the different institutions by way of collaboration and co-creation. In the chapter, the STAK project is introduced along with its research foundation, method for cross-institutional educational development and developed activities, digital competency pillars and categories for transforming higher education.
