  Annals of Social Sciences & Management Studies-Juniper Publishers Introduction The time has come to understand that we are facing an anthropological and not economic crisis as it is reductively defined; it is the failure of a socio-cultural model that has erased the fundamental human rights inscribed in 1948.

It is a phase of the education’s lifecycle that is neither stoppable nor preventable. We could consider that as a phase of renewal that can further enhance the whole educational process. In other words, new and interesting opportunities are opening for redefinition of educational models. Although the path of “educational evolution” has already begun, there is a lot of potential yet to be explored. As it’s well known, technology offers a wide range of opportunities but, ultimat
