Summary/Abstract: The implementation of the new information and communication technologies in education involves rethinking training methods, the techniques of contents configuration, learning strategies, assessment procedures, the relational and attitudinal context, etc. Any technical innovation, ‘absorbed’ by the educational system, generates transformations, which, from the point of view of their value, may be ambivalent, involving the emergence of new opportunities and acquisitions, which deserve to be taken advantage of, as well as awareness of, and/or responsibility for, the existence of certain precautions, losses or even risks. Based on recent developments, this paper aims at formulating several questions, challenges and solutions, that might lead to diminished deficiencies and increased advantages, through an exploratory, anticipatory and, obviously, preventive approach.
