Abstract:
MyStory and ISPY projects are two illustrative examples of how online virtual support can come in handy to a large
variety of beneficiaries including a wide span of ages. Indentifying those affordances of the online support that can best
address the target group and customising them to fit the learning needs are main aspects that are being looked into by
the developers and promoters of the two European projects. ISPY platform enables learners to interact with a new
language via flash materials based on role-play and problem solving. Activities on the ISPY Moodle platform include
formal and informal contexts presenting students with numerous opportunities to understand and practise the language
they study. MyStory project aims at creating a link between generations by valorizing and putting to good use the
knowledge and experience of representatives from the two main categories addressed - seniors and young people.
