While the digital revolution has led to an increase in educational resources via the Internet, European education systems are still unable to integrate ICT in their mainstream practices.

- How can a coherent infrastructure and use of ICT in schools be achieved across Member States?
- What are the main reasons for not fully exploiting new digital resources such as ‘Open Educational Resources’ or ‘Massive Open Online Courses’? How can these initiatives impact European innovation?
- What role does industry play in integrating digital technologies in education and training?
- What are the steps the EU should take to modernize learning, teaching and assessment practices through digital technologies?
Invited contributors include:
- Ana Carla PEREIRA, Head of Unit - Skills and qualifications strategies; Multilingualism policy, DG EAC
