FocusWork is focusing on • exploring the needs of the school communities, • formulating teacher/school communities that start with

eMature schools/innovative teachers and then expand to include less experienced ones,

• develop the educational design guidelines and material that will help boost the adoption of learning resources, the design of educational design templates and usage scenarios that are both focused on thematic subjects (i.e. sciences and math, social sciences, music & arts, career guidance)

• evaluate for a long time period the impact that learning activities based on digital educational content may have in these initial pilot communities.
