Digital Technologies:
technology as an enabler for transformations
use to provide learning experiences that would not
possible without the digital technologies

Digital Technologies as an enabler for incremental or disruptive transformations
to the way that individuals, groups and organizations “learn” and the way to “assess” learning in 21st Century
Objectives: From acquiring new “knowledge” to develop new and
relevant “competences” Methods: From “classroom” based teaching to “context-aware”
personalized learning Assessment: From “life-long” degrees and certifications to “on-
demand” and “in-context” accreditation of qualifications

Millions of Euros / USA $ have been spent all over the world for purchasing and installing technologies in
schools – huge investments in infrastructure However, limited investments have been planned and implemented in systematically developing and assessing
the essential digital competences for school teachers and leaders – limited investments in human resources This has led to limited educational added-value and
transformative impact at school education …

Although in principle the systematic development and assessment of appropriate educationally meaningful
digital competences for both school teachers and leaders are recognized as a major element for the up-take of technology-supported and technology-enabled
school innovations at large scale Still, both Initial and Continuing School Teachers and
Leaders Education is predominately traditional and uninspiring both in terms of scope, methods and
assessment

And yet, it is assumed that all teachers are able to design and implement technology-supported and technology-enabled
school innovations using a wide range of digital technologies for teaching and assessing their students within the national curricula with limited additional professional development
Even more, it is also assumed that all schools share more or less the same level of educationally relevant digital
competences (commonly referred as “e-maturity”) at organizational level to adopt technology-supported
educational innovation, just because they have installed the same technological infrastructure
