“New Technologies for Learning: Contribution of ICT to Innovation in Education” tackles the key questions concerning the impact of technology on education. This publication is the result of a study commissioned by the European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) to LINOV (Leuven Institute for Innovative Learning) at the K.U.Leuven, Belgium. The authors adopt a dynamic and constructive stance: education should neither eagerly and blindly embrace the oncoming ICT wave, nor passively and reluctantly surrender to it, nor should we make sceptical or defensive attempts to keep it out. Instead, education should actively create new powerful learning applications from the potential of ICT. An open but critical analysis of the new learning opportunities should be conducted, as well as a careful assessment of the critical success factors. For the practical implementation of ICT-based innovation in education a systemic approach to the learning process as well as to the educational system is essential.
