Abstract
The assumption underlying the symposium is that teacher education institutions have a dual challenge. At the one hand they need to prepare pre-service students for teaching and facilitating learning in the digital age, including the use of technology in teaching and learning. At the other hand teacher education institutions themselves need to change in order to cope with the challenges of the knowledge society. How Dutch teacher education institutions cope with these challenges is presented and discussed in the symposium.
