• Student teachers face complex challenges in their future profession, incl. developing professional digital competence (PDC). • In response, teacher education needs to address the reciprocity of PDC and students' transformative agency. • We demonstrate how a small private online course (SPOC) integrates PDC, university seminars and practice. • Student teachers respond to challenges by transforming them into opportunities for their professional development. • The SPOC fosters PDC development throught transformative digital agency, conceptualised as a new PDC pillar.
