Prior to the crisis, a significant portion of the population had not engaged with distance and online learning, leaving a gap in digital competencies and preparedness. The European Commission&#8217;s 2020 public consultation revealed a critical turning point; nearly 95% of respondents agreed that the pandemic irreversibly changed the landscape of technology use in education and training. This underscored the demand for online learning resources to be more relevant, interactive, and user-friendly.<\/span><br style=\"caret-color: #222222; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" \/><br style=\"caret-color: #222222; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\" \/><span style=\"font-style: normal; caret-color: #222222; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">Responding to this pressing need, the &#8222;Digital\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: normal; caret-color: #222222; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Tools<\/span><span style=\"font-style: normal; caret-color: #222222; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\">\u00a0for Better Schools&#8220; project was conceived, aligning with the strategic priorities of the EU Digital Education Action Plan 2021-2027.
