Successful review for ROLE

Friday 30 Mar 2012

The 3rd annual review of the European project ROLE (Responsive Open Learning Environments) took place on March 27 in Luxembourg. The project consortium presented the ROLE technological achievements and their applications in different learning contexts.

Alexander Mikroyannidis presented the lessons learned and best practices from piloting and evaluating the ROLE technologies in the test-beds of the project. The ROLE test-beds involve a variety of learning contexts and audiences, namely teachers, students, workplace learners, and developers.

The project consortium received commendations from the reviewers on the scientific impact of its work. The reviewers particularly acknowledged the effort put on increasing user adoption in the test-beds.

ROLE has now entered its 4th and final year. During this period, emphasis will be given to the externalisation and sustainability of the project’s outcomes.
