Abstract
In a variety of educational contexts today, educators, policy-makers and researchers are turning to ICT-based practices to design learning materials, to structure educational methods, to enhance learning outcomes and experiences, and to develop new approaches in supporting teaching and learning (Athanassios, 2012; Laurillard, 2012; Price, Jewitt, & Brown, 2013a; Punie & Ala-Mutka, 2007). Empowered by technology, students and teachers are turning established teaching models on their heads by “flipping the classroom”, while new skills and demands from the work environment are redefining the emphasis within educational institutions.
