This paper explores factors to increase the likelihood that the implementation of ABRACADABRA, a technology-based approach to teaching and learning literacy, endures and expands beyond the initial research. Started as a pilot study in 12 classrooms, the implementation spread to more than 500 primary classrooms over six years in five areas of…

Using mobile devices to facilitate teaching and learning (m-learning) in higher education has continued to gain momentum. To ensure meaningful m-learning, several models and frameworks, including those focused on pedagogies and the learning environment, have been developed. However, the majority of these are derived from the context of high-income…

The pilot of SELFIE for work-based learning (SELFIE WBL) in Montenegro is part of a multi-country initiative. SELFIE WBL is a self-reflection tool for schools seeking to improve their digital capacity. It has been developed by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC). The JRC has organised the overall pan-European pilot of SELFIE WBL,…

The Self-reflection on Effective Learning by Fostering the use of Innovative Educational technologies (SELFIE) tool has been implemented in Georgia since 2018. In 2020 the Ministry of Education, Science, (MoES) expressed its interest in piloting the SELFIE Work-Based Learning (WBL) tool designed specifically for the WBL context in Vocational…

The Self-reflection on Effective Learning by Fostering the use of Innovative Educational technologies (SELFIE) tool was piloted in the Republic of Serbia (hereafter Serbia) in 2017 and scaled up in early 2019. At the beginning of 2020, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) developed a new version of SELFIE specifically focusing on…

The SELFIE WBL pilot project started in Turkey in July 2020. SELFIE WBL is a new SELFIE module for VET schools that involves in-company trainers. It provides a self-reflection tool for VET schools to improve their digital capacity. Aggregate data obtained from the tool can also be used to inform the Ministry of National Education's (MoNE's)…
