The MOTILL project is a one-year European Commission funded project to analyze the use of mobile technologies for lifelong learning. It involves researchers from four countries working to elaborate how mobile devices are used in everyday life and their potential for lifelong learning. The project will create a scientific database of research, a methodological framework for evaluation, and a collection of best practices, all accessible through a project web portal. The goal is to increase awareness among policymakers of how mobile technologies could impact lifelong learning policies.

Digital Britain (2009)
“The ability of Digital Britain to contribute its full potential to our
future economic growth is critically dependent on having enough
people with the right skills in the right place at the right time to
develop and apply the new technologies.”
Forthcoming major review of the secondary curriculum will
emphasise the application of digital knowledge in ‘real life’
contexts.
