Abstract
"Rethinking learning in the digital age" was the theme of EDUsummIT 2017, which was
held in Borovets, Bulgaria in September, 2017. Approximately 100 policy makers, practi-
tioners and researchers met to discuss key topics in nine Thematic Working Groups. These
topics were: (1) education systems in the digital age: the need for alignment; (2) informal
learning with technology; (3) professional development for technology-enhanced learning
leaders; (4) digital agency to empower equity in the classroom; (5) formative assessment
supported by technology; (6) developing creativity in teachers and learners; (7) learn-
ing from national policy experiences;(8) upbringing in a digital world: opportunities and
possibilities of schooling, and (9) sustainability and scalability of technology integration
initiatives. In this special issue we present the scholarly articles that were written after
EDUsummIT 2017, based on discussions within the Thematic Working Groups during the
meeting itself. We also present the Call to Action that was consolidated from the closing
statements of the nine EDUsummIT 2017 Thematic Working Groups.
