The feature elaborates on challenges and needs for research and practice emerging from the first phase of the project including (1) Strategies for systematically increasing pupils’ digital competence, (2) Remote didactics for interactive and collaborative learning, (3) Forms and methods for more active teaching, especially for younger ages, and (4) Digital relational competence for pupils, teachers and supervisors.
