This Project, funded by the European Commission as part of their Life Long Learning Programme, is carried out by partners in Italy, Spain and the UK. The aim of this project is to investigate and promote the effective use of digital technologies in learning within different sectors. The work in the UK focuses on participation in learning through the use of Web 2.0 technology across the secondary curriculum, while the work in Italy and Spain focuses on the teaching of soft skills through simulations of inter-social processes in virtual environments, including serious gaming in company and university settings. For researchers, teachers and policy makers working in the field of digital technologies, this project also aims to provide insight into the dynamics underlying the take-up of technologies in different institutions as well as developing methods that might help establish the distinctive contributions that technology could make in regard to given curricula.
