Introduction

In June 2013 HiST and the Lomonosov Moscow State University (LMSU), Department of Foreign Languages and Area Studies, initiated an 18-month project on the subject of immediate feedback impact on language skills development.

The two institutions share experiences on mobile learning. HiST specializes in the development, testing and improvement of technical solutions, while LMSU focuses on language learning pedagogy with digital and mobile technologies. Against this background HiST and LMSU have received a one-year grant (January-December 2013) from the Norwegian Centre for International Cooperation in Education (SIU) that supports Higher Education cooperation activities between Norway-Russia. This grant is labelled "Enhancing Technology Awareness and Usage of m-Learning in Russia and Norway" and the project number is CPRU-2012/10001.
