TECHNOSKEPSI aimed to investigate the ways in which mobile tools and online technologies can support argumentation in science. The project engaged teachers and learners who worked in groups to study environmental problems by collecting data using handheld devices and engaging in a debate about the dimensions of the problem and possible solutions. Students, teachers and scientists collaborated to build arguments for and against various proposals and solutions to problems.

The objective of the project was to support persons with international protection status to be successfully integrated in the local Cyprus labour market and the local society, through vocational training programs. Training courses were developed and delivered courses to more than 200 members of the target group in areas like entrepreneurship, mentorship, train the trainer, basic computer skills, and employment skills.

The project developed a model of authentic learning based on real-world problem solving and through collaborations between schools and enterprises. The model will be used to design and develop a Teacher Training Program to train school staff in creating, implementing, and evaluating learning activities using authentic learning approaches to engage and motivate learners.

The main outcome of the project was to develop prototype software based on data mining and web technologies for the analysis of educational data from Learning Management Systems (LMS). This e-Learning Analytics Tool provides a complete group of operations and activities that help identify and assess students’ behaviour, based on the data retrieved from the LMS.
