Digital(4)Education is a new Luxembourg government ICT initiative launched in 2015. “The<br />

main objectives of the strategy are firstly a digital education, meaning to prepare students for a<br />

complex and continuously changing work environment as well as for their role as citizen, and<br />

secondly the promotion of new learning strategies and innovative pedagogic projects using<br />

digital technologies. The strategy is built on the following five dimensions: 1) digital citizen,<br />

initiating students in essential ICT-based applications like administrative procedures,<br />

communication with authorities, e-banking, etc. 2) digital peer, broaching issues on the safe<br />

and responsible use of the internet, 3) digital learner, creating the required learning<br />

environment, 4) digital worker, teaching basic technological tools and 5) digital entrepreneur,<br />

offering activities to stimulate talents and encourage the students to deal with ICT tools.” (See<br />

With the ubiquitous access to inexpensive smart phones, a profound transformation has been<br />

unleashed. Each individual with access to a smartphone or tablet (hand-held device) essentially<br />

has a pocket supercomputer. This situation increases the degrees of freedom for an individual<br />

in having access to an essentially limitless amount of information and knowledge, but also<br />

imposes new social responsibilities and obligations. The responsibilities turn on taking<br />

initiatives in pursuing one’s educational needs and recognizing that literally in their hands is the<br />

largest open source library in the history of humankind for pursuing life-long learning.<br />
