AI Tools Heatmap

How to read the map

The map shows AI-based tools against two frameworks: the DigComp 2.2 digital competence areas and Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive engagement.

• The horizontal axis lists the DigComp 2.2 competencies, grouped by area — from Information and Data Literacy to Problem Solving and Safety.
• The vertical axis lists the AI-based tools.
• Each cell is colour- and pattern-coded to reflect the tool’s level of cognitive engagement with that competency, using Bloom’s taxonomy.

What to look for

• Broad coverage — Some tools span several DigComp areas, making them versatile across courses and activities.
• Deep alignment — Others concentrate on higher Bloom’s levels in specific competencies, making them ideal for capstone projects, design-thinking modules, or advanced research tasks.
• Complementary tools — Where a tool shows partial or no alignment with a competency, pairing it with another tool can help ensure broader coverage of your learning objectives.
• Empty cells — A white cell does not mean a tool lacks quality. It simply means the tool does not focus on that particular area of digital competence.

Use the filters to narrow down by competency group, Bloom’s level, or tool name.
