Innovative digital learning environments: new paradigms

Abstract

This paper focuses on the digital evolution as a protagonist of training and educational processes, in the national and international panorama. In particular, the paper identifies the origins of the current technological didactic perspectives and declines them through the potential of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In addition, it focuses on recent didactic approaches adopted in digital learning environments; with reference to this, it highlights the key role of the development of digital competence in teaching and learning. Digital competence is, in fact, declined as a key component of the eight key competences for lifelong learning and, in this sense, it is essential to reinforce and develop digital skills in teachers first of all.
