Policy background
A study in September 2023 found that digital education content in Europe faces challenges like fragmentation and uncertainty about quality. This makes teachers, learners, authorities, and publishers unsure about using it. New technologies like artificial intelligence also raise concerns.
In November 2023, the Council recommended working together to create guidelines for better digital education content. This aims to help countries assess and improve the quality, safety, trustworthiness, and inclusiveness of digital education materials.
