THE ROLE OF THE EDUCATIONAL MANAGER AND THE E-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have transformed education, promoting collaborative learning spaces, interaction between students and teachers, and enhancing communication within schools. Their strategic use expands the continuing education of teachers and school managers, encouraging innovative pedagogical practices and digital inclusion. The advancement of digitalization, especially following the remote teaching adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighted the need for school managers with digital competencies to implement technologies critically, ethically, and contextually. Despite challenges such as teacher resistance and infrastructure limitations,e-learning enables personalized learning, student protagonism, and equitable access to education. Effective integration of ICT requires strategic planning, ongoing professional development, and a collaborative school culture, consolidating innovative, inclusive educational environments focused on the holistic development of students.
