Western Cape Education Department  is dedicated to provide teachers and officials access to ICT professional development opportunities with a focus on Digital Learning. Digital teaching and learning describes educational practice that uses appropriate digital tools and resources to strengthen a teacher's teaching and a learner's learning experience resulting in more effective achievement of curriculum learning objectives. Digital learning, as used in the national Professional Development Framework for Digital Learning is therefor a more modern expression of ICT integration which in itself is a broader concept than ICT skills.

The eLearning directorate is hosting different training opportunities across the province available to WCED educators and officials. The training menu is categorised into four different developmental levels to provide a wide variety of skillsets on the technology and pedagogy matrix. These developmental levels are based on practical experience of school transformation journeys and national guideline documents which emphasize TPACK, SAMR, Andragogy, and the Professional Development Framework for digital learning (DBE, 2018). From here the matrix were developed and implemented as of April 2020 to categorise Directorate eLearning's training menu:
