Start with real needs
What does digital fatigue feel like in adult learning, and what support do educators need?
The Digital State of Play draws on a survey of 40 adult learners and focus groups with 10 educators. It compares experiences across rural and urban settings in the Mura and Drava river region, in Slovenia and Croatia.
The research informs the design of the manual and the digital resources. The research report presents the findings.
