Mobile Learning for Lifelong Learning projects in the Italian context

In this paper, we describe the state of the art on the use of mobile devices for lifelong learning initiatives in Italy. The paper is based on the research work done in the framework of the European project MOTILL (MObile Technologies in Lifelong Learning: best practices). Some exemplary projects on lifelong learning involving mobile technologies in Europe have been identified and analyzed according to three dimensions: management, pedagogy and policy. In this paper we report on the Italian context as emerged by the study of the three Italian projects.
