Abstract
Referring to the personalisation of education entails entering a fuzzy territory about which relatively little has been written, at least compared to other current issues. This following chapter outline some of the factors explaining the importance of this issue for teachers, schools, and education systems. I consider that a learning environment based on the use of Information and Communication Technologies [ICT] is well suited to this type of pedagogical approach, and thus some of the close links between the two phenomena will be indicated.
