Abstract
The implementation of the new information and communication technologies in education involves rethinking the training methods, the techniques of contents configuration, the learning strategies, the assessment procedures, the relational and attitudinal context, etc. Any technical innovation, ‘absorbed’ by the educational system, generates transformations, which, from the point of view of their value, may be ambivalent, involving the emergence of new opportunities and acquisitions, which deserve to be taken advantage of, as well as the awareness of, and/or the responsibility for, the existence of certain precautions, losses or even risks. In this paper, starting from recent developments, we intend to formulate several questions, challenges and solutions, that might lead to diminished deficiencies and increased advantages, through an exploratory, anticipatory and, obviously, preventive approach.
Key words: cyber culture, digital textbooks, information and communication technologies, training, virtual education
