The increasing integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) within the different training procedures could lead to the isolation of those individuals considered as non self-sufficient. The question is: is autonomy a prerequisite, and if so, are training paths only suitable to some profiles?

Before giving any stereotyped answer, maybe we should focus on the self-sufficiency/autonomy concept in the field of the teaching action. The use of ICT for developing training/learning methods changes our ways of working and techniques.

While computers, databases, high-tech development and broadband Internet access are increasing, we understand more and more the challenge of training individuals, of having them enjoy the learning programmes and develop life-long learning.

This will emerge from a complex structure based on both environmental and methodological components developed and monitored by the teaching team.
