International mobility:
to promote exchange of visions and experience on mobile learning among the
partners in order to build a shared knowledge base on the topic and identify
possible instructional strategies and educational uses of mobile devices;
National workshops:
to shift from the sharing of experience to the involvement of the beneficiaries and
start developing general guidelines, workshops were designed and carried out at
the national level with the aim of testing specific instructional methods based on
the use of mobile devices;
Evaluation of national workshops:
through visits and virtual meetings, partners were involved in a mutual process of
peer reviewing in order to evaluate the impact and the results of the national
workshops;
Formulation of guidelines:
at the end of the process (sharing, designing and testing, evaluating) a set of
methodological recommendations for practitioners and designers were developed.
