Over the last years, the astonishing progress of modern telecommunication networks and the simultaneous spread of the Internet have brought about unprecedented access to a wealth of information and resources. The full development of Internet’s potential to improve access to education and training, and to enhance the quality of learning, is a key prerequisite for building a European (and a global) knowledge society. In particular, not only education but also social cohesion and market competitiveness depend more and more on Europe’s ability to adapt (appropriately) its educational and training systems in order to realize this major challenge (Stewart, 2004). Without any doubt, information and communication technologies (ICT) can offer significant potential for the improvement of education and training (Kruse, 2002; Tsai & Machado, 2002) in several areas, as they can strongly support learning processes through enhanced communication, discovery, simulation, exploration, and problem solving (Ewing & Miller, 2002).

This paper seeks to clarify why the relevance of certain information and communication technologies [“ICTs”] is wanting, why the importance of context is crucial to progress, and why mapping technologies from one place to another is no guarantor of success. Disconnects between theories and realities are illustrated, emphasizing the need to challenge and address factors that cannot be leapfrogged by technology: namely, education and training, basic human and service infrastructure, and the importance of human interaction.

The article is devoted to problems of cybermedicine industry as an innovative pedagogical science.Some aspects of the prerequisites for the formation of cyberspedagogics are considered. The authors give a conceptual series of cyberpedagogics. The article substantiates the necessity of using a cyberontological approach in education, which is effective in solving the actual problems of human education and training in the XXI century. Cyberspace is characterized as a new environment of human activity and a factor of social and intrapsychic changes. The key features of a modern person using information and communication technologies are described. Substantiates the importance of developing a culture of cybersocialization of each person, as well as cybermediary – science of the XXI century – as the basis of organization of modern education with regard to the influence of cyberspace on the processes of learning, education and development. The article analyzes a number of concepts on the problem of cyberspedagogics.

The relevance of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the field of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) cannot be overemphasised in the knowledge-based and globalised society. The world of works is in as continuous a state of change as ICT itself, thus posing more challenges to the workers in the 21st century and the institutions responsible for their preparation. Therefore, this chapter discusses the challenges and prospects of ICT in teaching TVE towards globalisation. The chapter points out clearly the meaning, philosophy, and objectives of TVET, concept and types of ICT, the need for effective utilisation of ICTs and its role in TVET, the challenges and solutions to the effective utilisation of ICTs in TVET, and the prospect of using ICT in teaching TVET. The chapter concludes by suggesting solutions for proper planning, management, and effective utilisation of ICTs resources in TVET.

In 2011, France began the launch of its National Alzheimer Plans to fund research on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related disorders, which resulted in a significant increase in French scientific research output, particularly after implementation of the Third National Alzheimer Plan (2008–2012). The 2014–2019 Neurodegenerative Disease Plan and the new Action and Prevention of Loss of Autonomy National Plan aim at extending the positive research outcomes in AD to other neurodegenerative pathologies. Interestingly, these plans also assign an important role to Information and Communication Technologies in the assessment and training of people with AD, frailty, and related disorders. This may contribute to shaping the new Silver Economy by creating new challenges and opportunities.
