My main research interests are:

• to use technology in ways and means that otherwise wouldn’t be possible to get specific outcomes or experiences. (creativity + innovation)

• to create meaningful and enjoyable playing-learning experiences WITH and THROUGH the use of the technology.

• to involved the environment in playing-learning applications. (make use of “pervasive” applications)

• to impulse the activity of individuals and promote the collaboration, self-reflection, increase tacit knowledge and knowledge communication by playing-learning applications.

• Multiplayer mobile games with pervasive characteristics:
