The progressive incorporation of digital technologies in higher education has highlighted the need for teacher digital competence (TDC). A competence that not only implies technical knowledge, but also pedagogical knowledge and student empowerment. Over the last decade, some universities have revised their digitalisation or digital transformation plans, aligning their training strategies and policies with the development of this competence, something which has become even more necessary, if possible, during the health crisis resulting from Covid-19. This article, which is part of a research project based on the design of a self-assessment and training platform in TDC, teacher digital competence, delves qualitatively into teachers' assessment of this competence, the usefulness of this assessment and training platform, and the perception of the effect of the pandemic in this area. Semi-structured-in-depth-interviews with university teachers, university managers and educational technology technicians (n=15), the main source of information, allow for an in-depth analysis of the TDC and generate a series of design principles useful for the development of this type of platforms and for the design of strategies and policies for the digital teacher training.
