In the past 20 years, Educational Technology Lab has engaged in several multi-organizational projects funded by the European Community, the Greek Ministry of Education and the Greek Ministry of Development.

In these Projects, the Lab, having either the role of the Coordinator or of the participating Partner, has put special emphasis in:

• designing and developing digital tools in a variety of subjects to be used both as on-site research instruments as well as open-ended material for teachers and students,

• designing context-sensitive scenarios underlining the added value of using the digital tools in teaching and learning,

• carrying out empirical research in realistic educational contexts to put in use the digital tools and the scenarios developed,

• training pre-service and in-service teachers in the designing scenarios and developing digital tools in a secondary level,

• infusing and sustaining innovation in schools.
