• In February 2018, the 1st MVP was released, delivered and
tested to the 1st pilot country, Greece. 70 teachers from 8
Greek pilot schools were trained, during four 4-hour face to
face courses, to the use of the NGDLE. They created their
own content and courses on the platform, gave their
feedback and evaluation and are ready to use it for creating
an environment for creative student projects across Greece.
• In the paper we explain the functionality of the NGDLE and
present the feedback and evaluation from the first user
experience.
