Dès lors que les TIC permettent de repenser les segmentations traditionnelles entre disciplines, et que nombre de projets pilotes innovants se situent à cheval sur plusieurs disciplines ou domaines traditionnels, on doit se poser la question des savoirs, des "savoir-faire" et des aptitudes qu'il convient d'acquérir, avant de traiter de la pertinence de tel ou tel outil ou méthode.
As ICT permits a rethink of the traditional divides between subject areas, and as many innovative pilot projects straddle several subject areas or traditional areas, the question which must be asked before examining the relevance of any tool or method is what knowledge, knowhow and skills have to be acquired before it can be used.
