ABSTRACT
The main policy objective is: Strengthen the integration of digital technologies and contents in formal, non-formal and informal education and training, in order to ensure the provision of skills needed by the current and future generations of students and workers, and increase efficiency of the delivery of education and training in the EU. In order to achieve this, three specific objectives can be raised:
– On Infrastructures: Improve and update digital infrastructures for education and training, including connectivity.
– On Content: Up-scale the creation, use, re-use and sharing of quality digital education contents, including Open Educational Resources.
– On Teaching and Learning Environments: Modernise learning, teaching and assessment practices through digital technologies and increase equity.
The Roadmap proposes different scenarios to answer identified challenges.
