In order to achieve this, three specific objectives can be raised: 

– On Infrastructures: Improve and update digital infrastructures for education and training, including connectivity. 

– On Content: Up-scale the creation, use, re-use and sharing of quality digital education contents, including Open Educational Resources. 

– On Teaching and Learning Environments: Modernise learning, teaching and assessment practices through digital technologies and increase equity. 

The Roadmap proposes different scenarios to answer identified challenges.
