The fast-paced development of the information society and the widespread distribution of ICT are calling into question how education should be organised and implemented. On the one hand, it generates new methods of teaching and learning, and offers new opportunities to address broad challenges: for instance that of facilitating access to high-quality and diversified education for millions of individuals who would otherwise have been excluded. On the other hand, it raises new challenges, such as how to enable students to transform the large amounts of information available into fully assimilated knowledge.All over the globe, education stakeholders are seeking the best ways to adapt existing educational systems and methods to this constantly evolving environment. “Innovation” in the broadest sense of the word, beyond technology alone, is more than ever essential. New ideas, methods and practices must be developed and put in place to respond to the changes, anticipate future trends and seize opportunities as they arise.
