Editorial The EU not only provides funding, but also has launched several policy initiatives and interventions on the digitalisation of education, outlined, for instance, in “Europe 2020 Strategy,” “Digital Agenda for Europe,” “Agenda for New Skills and Jobs,” “Innovation Union,” “Opening up Education: Innovative Teaching and Learning for All through New Technologies and Open Educational Resources,” “DigComp 2.0: The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens,” “A European Framework for Digitally Competent Educational Organisations,” “A Digital Single Market Strategy for Europe,” “New Skills Agenda for Europe: Working Together to strengthen Human Capital, Employability and Competitiveness,” Digital Skills and Jobs Coalition, and “Strategic Framework – Education and Training 2020.” Furthermore, contests such as European Digital Skills Awards for outstanding projects contributing to digital skills development have been launched. The authors from ten countries try to consider and analyse the contemporary topics and modern trends in the fields of internationalisation of higher education, IT competence, and intercultural competences development in conditions of the digital world. The present volume includes seven articles gathered in three chapters. Chapter I is entitled “Evolution of Education, and Internationalisation of Education and Competences.” The first article – “From Socratic Behaviourism to Digital Constructivism” – was prepared by researchers from Portugal, Russia, Poland, and Ukraine: António Manuel Diogo dos Reis, Olga Yakovleva, Eugenia Smyrnova-Trybulska, and Nataliia Morze. The paper presents a synopsis of the evolution of methods and techniques up to digital age, and characterises the main aspects of behaviourist and constructivist models in order to study the development of new advanced pedagogical tools and methods in education science in constructivist environment. For the purpose of the study, an analysis of the technological evolution during the last decades and its impact on education science was made, with a special focus on virtual teaching and learning. The practical outcome of the study was a series of online seminars and workshops, prepared by the international team of the IRNet project. The keynotes and workshops were held during DLCC2017 Conference (Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Distance Learning, subtitle: Effective Development of Teachers’ Skills in the Area of ICT and E-learning) at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. The second article, 6 Editorial entitled “Internationalisation of Education and Competences Approach in the Digital World – Experts’ Opinions (A Round Table Debate Hosted by IRNet Project Researchers),” focuses on the internationalisation of education and competences approach in the digital world as viewed by experts from different countries: the Netherlands, Poland, Turkey, Russia, and Ukraine. The article aims to provide opinions, views, and reflections on important topics addressed by the IRNet project and DLCC2017 Conference participants. The final article in Chapter I, entitled “New Technologies in Polish School: Reality and Prospects for Development,” was prepared by Polish authors Barbara Grabowska and Łukasz Kwadrans from the University of Silesia in Katowice. It presents a concise overview of activities of the Polish Ministry of National Education over the last decade or so, with a focus on the results of planned or already implemented reforms in Polish school in terms of both improving its competitiveness and taking steps aimed at teaching practical skills, and not just passing the theoretical knowledge on such topics as new technologies, usage of ICT tools as didactic aids, Internet accessibility, cyber- safety, e-textbooks, or international cooperation projects (for instance eTwinning). The article can be the base for comparison with the actions of other countries’ governments from our region. The numbers given in this text are to give only the general idea of how many more challenges there are for the governing authorities, education financing system, and the Ministry of National Education. The school does not have to encourage students to use the Internet or multimedia,
