mGBL – Project concluded successfully
The mGBL (mobile Game-Based Learning) project was concluded successfully. The Project Office of the EU Commission under Mr. Martin Májek's lead, after testing content and financial details, congratulated evolaris on the successful implementation of the project and accepted it completely.
evolaris was primarily responsible for this project as its coordinator. The project had an overall budget of € 2.5 million and 11 project partners from 5 countries were involved in it over a period of 36 months. The most important outcome of the projects was a mLearning platform, which covers all the phases of implementing the mobile educational software, from the selection of suitable game types and generation of educational content, automated modification and issue of mobile educational programmes, all the way to supporting the course of the game. This was set up at the time of the concluding EU review on 19 December 2008, in order to demonstrate all functions of the learning platform along with the integrated educational games having uniform appearance. The EU's three-member review team was enthusiastic about the demonstration and possibilities of the platform and the developed educational games. The educational games were eagerly tested by the reviewers on their own mobile telephones even during pauses.
Besides new technical awareness and research results, this EU project thus also produced a concrete tool for practical implementation in the area of mobile learning. As the integration basis for existing and future educational software, the platform provides an important contribution for bridging special technical solutions to open, flexible and extendable systems.
The mGBL project is funded with the European Union's resources in the context of the Technology Enhanced Learning Programme of the 6th Contextual Work Programme.
