Continuing digitalisation is a macrosocial phenomenon – dealing with it is a macrosocial task. For the educational field, it does not only concern a change of teaching-learning situations due to digital media but also the issue of contributing to the changing situation - without excluding certain groups. According to the author, the issue of digitalisation does not allow federal disputes and segment-specific separation of educational areas.

The development of digital media continuously provides new opportunities for developing teaching/learning processes. As a result, the media educational requirements for teachers to assess the relevant chances and risks and to use digital media effectively as a learning support, is growing. The article points out the demand for paying increased attention to this specific competence. It presents a media educational competence model for adult educators, which was developed on a theoretical and empirical basis.

More digitalised companies also have a larger number continuing education measures, which reveals the aspiration to prepare employees for the digital change.

The article presents experiences gained in educational work in (post) crisis areas based on the work conducted by the DVV in Mali. According to the findings, adult education centres can be successful providers of holistic education programmes. In addition, conditions and factors for success are presented.
