In solving the better use problem of infrastructure in the project, the intention is to create a model of gamification elements for learning processes; recommendations for educational staff of ICT-based content modernization by applying gamification methods and mobile technologies in practice. The intention is also to organize trainings to implement integrated project website for the exchange of good practice examples and dissemination of activities and results.
Summary of project results
