As partner responsible for the dissemination and exploitation of the 3-year EU project 'Interactive Teaching in Languages with Technologies' iTILT (2014 -2017) on use of mobile and interactive technologies we introduced its aims, design & interim products at the EUROCALL 2015 Conference in Padova, Italy http://www.eurocall2015.it/…/si…/eurocall-2015/website/home/. We also presented the results of the preceeding iTILT project (2011-2013) on Interactive Whiteboards and ways to exploit them in pre- & inservice teacher education .
