Digital Learning Integration Standards of Learning
Digital Learning at the Virginia Department of Education empowers educators and students to harness technology, guided by the Digital Learning Integration (DLI) Standards of Learning (SOL), which define competencies for embedding digital tools into curriculum, assessment, and collaboration. By weaving technology-rich practices across all grade levels, VDOE fosters critical thinking, creativity, and digital citizenship, preparing students to thrive in an increasingly connected world.
