Abstract
Ambient schooling creates a schooling environment’ surrounding’ the pupil in a non-intrusive way. It is part of a ten-year vision of ministries of education in Europe in response to a changing information society. The realization of this vision will require substantive research and development. Critical success factors are the provision of the right infrastructure, the implementation of a school-grid allowing exchange of data and services beyond content, intelligent support for the learning process also in terms of knowledge building, better support for teachers, a different way of developing supporting tools, adaptation of buildings, and a clear migration strategy.
