Most importantly, probably, is the socialisation process that takes place simply through the cohabitation of the two groups, with their suppo…

Mobile learning is already used a lot in informal and non-formal learning, but in the context of formal learning it is not much used, yet.

A worrying percentage of pupils still enter lower secondary education with serious learn…
