Key Data on learning and innovation through ICT at school in Europe 2011

This report on Key Data on Learning and Innovation through ICT at School in Europe 2011 builds on the previous Eurydice publications on information and communication technology in schools in Europe. It also aims to extend the theoretical framework by looking not only at the teaching and learning of ICT but also at the use of ICT to promote innovation in educational processes and to foster the development of creativity in pupils and students. The study examines the evolution of ICT infrastructure in schools in terms of networks, hardware and software. It then looks at how ICT is being used in educational processes and incorporated into curricula before focusing on its role in enabling the development of innovative teaching methods. Finally, the crucial part played by ICT in the development of 21st century skills is assessed.
