Product by European Commission ?歐盟委員會

《數字教育行動計劃2021—2027》是繼歐盟2018年1月發布《數字教育行動計劃2018》之后的第二個歐盟數字教育行動計劃。《數字教育行動計劃2018》制定了歐盟數字教育框架，在2018至2020年推進了11項教育行動，幫助成員國應對在教育和培訓中使用數字技術的挑戰和機遇。《數字教育行動計劃2021—2027》則將重點放在了教育和培訓的長期數字化變革上，并提出了數字教育的長期愿景。

Introduction

Digital technologies are changing the world at an incredible speed and are reshaping how people in Europe live， work and study. Ongoing digital transformation impacts many parts of our daily life， from the ever-increasing integration of digital technologies in all sectors of the economy to the societal impact of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence （AI）. Connected devices and intelligent systems surround us and support activities in terms of access and exchange of information， communication and collaboration， modes of work， business operations and， finally yet critically， learning opportunities.

Like other sectors， education and training is undergoing a process of change. When properly planned and designed， the use of digital technologies for teaching and learning offers many opportunities， including the possibility to open up to a more diverse cohort of learners， increase flexibility， personalisation and inclusion， and offer more interactive and engaging forms of cooperation and communication. At the same time， it brings challenges： educators need to master the digital environment to design high quality and engaging learning experiences and learners also need to be technologically savvy. Education and training systems have an essential role to play in embracing digital technologies and enabling societies to reap the benefits of the digital transformation， while avoiding the risks that may come from digital exclusion or inappropriate use of technology.

In the context of the COVID-19 crisis， digital technologies are supporting individuals and organisations in their daily tasks， allowing for business continuity， including in the field of education and training. However， the sudden and large-scale use of digital technologies to ensure continuity of teaching and learning has shown major discrepancies between and within Member States and has brought to the fore the benefits and risks of digitalisation. Today more than ever， ensuring inclusive and quality education and training that responds to the lifelong learning need to develop the competences necessary for future life and employment requires that education and training institutions use digital technologies in a critical， purposeful and effective way.

Stronger support and guidance at EU level is needed to learn from the experiences so far， including more recently from the COVID-19 crisis， and to boost the level of preparedness for the future. Common efforts and a comprehensive approach are needed to harness digital technologies for effective and inclusive education and training and to enable Europeans of all ages and backgrounds to live and thrive in the digital age.

Impact of the 2018 Action Plan

The 2018 Action Plan focused on formal education （i.e.， primary and secondary schools， VET， and higher education） and covered three priority areas： making better use of digital technology for teaching and learning; developing digital competences and skills; improving education through better data analysis and foresight.

The first priority aimed to support the use of digital technology in education， fostering its full potential as a tool for teaching and learning. The second priority addressed the development of digital competence as a ‘life skill， crucial for playing an active role in society， engaging in further education and training， and accessing the labour market. The third priority focused on foresight， and how improving the use of data in education can support policymaking.

Welcomed by Member States， the European Parliament， the Committee of the Regions， and stakeholders at large， the 2018 Action Plan contributed to an emerging policy dialogue and confirmed the EUs added value in this field. The implementation of its actions is ongoing until the end of 2020. Its implementation boosted cooperation and dialogue on digital education. Several high-level events brought education stakeholders and policy makers together to discuss innovative teaching and learning practices， including the Bulgarian and Romanian Presidency events organised in 2018 and 2019. Additional activities were carried out in response to stakeholder requests and feedback， as for instance， the development of a new dimension on digital transformation and capability in the HEInnovate framework. The 2018 Action Plan also influenced national policies and initiatives on digital education in a number of Member States， including Belgium， Bulgaria and France.

簡介

數字技術以驚人的速度改變著世界，并且正在改變歐洲人的生活、工作和學習方式。持續的數字化轉型影響著我們日常生活的許多方面，從數字技術在各個經濟領域的日益融合到人工智能等新興技術對社會的影響。互連的設備和智能系統圍繞著我們，并支持信息的獲取與交換、通信和協作、工作模式、業務運營以及至關重要的學習機會等活動。

與其他領域一樣，教育和培訓也在經歷變革的過程。經過適當的計劃和設計，數字技術的使用將為教育和學習提供許多機會，包括提升面向更廣泛學習者開放的可能，增加靈活性、個性化和包容性，并提供更具互動性和參與性的合作與交流形式。同時，它帶來了挑戰：教育者需要精通數字環境，從而設計高質量和引人入勝的學習體驗，而且學習者也需要精通技術。教育和培訓系統在擁抱數字技術、促使社會從數字化轉型中受益兩方面發揮了至關重要的作用，同時避免了數字排斥或技術使用不當帶來的風險。

新冠肺炎疫情危機背景下，數字技術為個人和組織的日常工作提供支持，從而實現了包括教育和培訓領域在內的業務連續性。然而，為確保教與學的連續性，突然被大量使用的數字技術顯示出成員國之間和內部的重大差異，并突顯出數字化的利益和風險。今天比以往任何時候都更需要確保教育和培訓的包容性和高質量，以響應終身學習的需求，發展未來生活和就業所必需的能力，這就要求教育和培訓機構以關鍵、有目的和有效的方式使用數字技術。

歐盟需要提供更強有力的支持和指導，吸取迄今為止的經驗，如最近的新冠肺炎疫情危機，并提前做好應對未來危機的準備。如何利用數字技術進行有效和包容性的教育和培訓，需要社會各界共同努力和采取綜合辦法，使所有年齡和背景的歐洲人都能在數字時代生活和發展。

《數字教育行動計劃2018》的影響

《數字教育行動計劃2018》聚焦正式教育（即中小學、職業教育培訓和高等教育），涵蓋三個重點領域：更好地利用數字技術進行教學;發展數字能力和技能;通過更好的數據分析和技術預見改善教育。

首要任務是支持在教育中使用數字技術，并充分發揮其作為教學工具的潛力。其次是將數字能力發展為一種“生活技能”，這對人們在社會中發揮積極作用，參與進一步的教育和培訓以及進入勞動力市場至關重要。最后是技術預見，如何改善教育數據的應用從而支持教育決策。

《數字教育行動計劃2018》受到了歐盟成員國、各地區委員會以及廣大利益相關方的歡迎，為新興的政策對話做出了貢獻，并確保了歐盟在這一領域的附加值。其行動實施一直持續到2020年底。它的實施促進了數字教育方面的合作與對話。一些高級別活動將教育利益相關者和政策制定者聚集在一起，討論創新的教學實踐，例如2018年和2019年組織的保加利亞和羅馬尼亞總統活動。還根據利益相關者的要求和反饋，開展了其他活動，例如，在HEInnovate框架中開發數字轉型和能力的新維度。《數字教育行動計劃2018》還影響了比利時、保加利亞和法國等多個成員國的數字教育國家政策和舉措的制定。
