Technology And Education: Opportunities And Side-Effects

Technology arouses great expectations as far as its impact on learning and teaching is concerned; yet until the first months of 2015 these were only partially satisfied. Although there had been huge public investment and progress had been made, the pace of integration of technology in education was slower than expected. This may be due to the fact that evidence of its benefits remained elusive.

The Scientific Foresight Unit (STOA) study on Teaching and learning technology options, spotlights technology options for education in Europe, presenting both the opportunities and the risks involved. Lead Panel Member for the study is Paul RÜBIG, Chair of the STOA Panel.
