This document discusses innovations in vocational education through the InnoOmnia project. InnoOmnia combines physical and cloud-based learning environments, using tools like laptops, iPads, and social media to make learning ubiquitous and add new dimensions to assignments. Learning is a social event where students work in teams with roles on projects. The MOKIA project tests using mobile devices for the mobile learning of building maintenance, moving from printed manuals to mobile audiovisual content and situational video assessments. Students create and share content using tools like QR codes while teachers facilitate the process.

6. Learning is a social event. Students work and learn in
teams. Each team member
has a role: leader, info
searcher, some activist,
assessor, cross team
communicator.
Teams work on projects
together with in-house
entrepreneurs and
InnoOmnia staff.
In InnoOmnia everybody is
a learner and a teacher.
