The intellectual output of the CREST project, over 40 pages, examines the concepts of student-centred learning, learning ergonomics, briefly reviews examples of good practice and creative hubs. In the second part, it explores digital tools and presents the findings of focus groups at the University of Ljubljana and Vytautas Magnus University of Kaunas.
