The Didacta edu-tech fair is among the most important events in the education industry. It is an excellent opportunity for both visitors and exhibitors to get an accurate picture of the novelties and the latest trends in education first-hand. This year, the vibrant city of Cologne hosted the conference, which was attended by over 35,000 people. The Mozaik Team is honored to be among the 139 exhibitors, who had the chance to present new pedagogical approaches and innovative solutions for those interested.The event was attended by 555 companies from 55 countries, therefore as always, it was an outstanding chance for us to show what we can offer to the world. During the 5 days of the fair our team met with many of our existing partners and strengthened the cooperations with new ideas and strategies, as well as Didacta Cologne is the place to meet new, interested organisations. At the different state stands of Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia was a stand-out, we got better understanding of the state’s school system, curriculum and decision making process. We also met with amazing teachers and representatives from other countries such as Lithuania, Poland, Austria, and Italy, from whom we got good feedback on our system and key opportunities have been identified. In Cologne, our Business Development Director, Ildikó Török met with Mr Pierluigi Lanzarini, CEO of Campustore our Italian distributor and we agreed to exhibit together at Didacta Italia in May 2022.The Italian event, organized in Florence, is a collaboration between the Didacta Association of the Education Industry and strong Italian partners. Didacta Italia provides a superb platform, where actors of the education community can exchange ideas and information relating to the current solutions in education, just like in the case of its German big brother.

Thanks to our amazing Italian distributor partner, Campustore, we were also represented in this 3-day fair, which was attended by 19,000 visitors. Campsutore, as an exhibitor, presented its offers using mozaBook. Thus, participants could try out our solution on 2 digital boards in this event.Furthermore, our classroom 3-way projection solution developed together with Zebra Multimedia and Epson Italy debuted at Didacta Florence. The content of mozaBook has been presented on 3 walls using 3 projectors provided by Epson, thus creating a more immersive experience for the students.

Our main goal at Mozaik Education is to develop a comprehensive system that strives to ensure that all participants of the learning process are effectively supported. In the name of this objective, mozaBook is updated every 6 months just before the start of a new semester.

The Mozaik team is thrilled to introduce the new 4.5.9 release of the mozaBook software, which will be available to all users from the 15th of August 2022. Besides a great deal of background work to increase performance and stability, we have added some new features as well. In this post, we would like to highlight some of the most significant changes and improvements in the new version.

SETT stands for Scandinavian Education Technology Transformation and is Scandinavia's largest conference and trade fair for modern and innovative learning. Since its start in Stockholm in 2012, SETT has had formidable growth and success. In 2022, SETT had just over 7,000 visits to the Kista Fair Center. SETT aims to create an arena to highlight the main things that happen in a school in both digital and other tools for learning and development.Picture source: SETT Facebook page

This year was the first time we visited SETT, as more and more schools and prospective partners reached out to our sales team for cooperation. We started to work together with the City of Stockholm Department of Education in 2021 and through this collaboration mozaBook got approved and GDPR certified in the region and became one of the suggested digital learning resources of the city.

What is PON?

The Programma Operativo Nazionale (PON) is an EU-funded investment program aimed at strengthening the Italian education system and promoting equitable access to high-quality education across the country.

Innovation represents a key-importance issue regarding the development of education, hence, within the frames of the PON Digital Board project, a significant amount of the funding (455 million euro) was allocated to exclusively support the digitalization of classrooms and secretariats. 

The program’s main objectives include the provision of digital equipment for schools (e.g. interactive displays, computers and other digital devices). By this, contributing  to the digital transformation of the educational institutions and teaching. Furthermore, PON intends to bolster the process of dematerialization and the digitization of administration of schools as well as to ensure the appropriate and effective adaptation of the tools provided.  

The application for the Digital Board tender was open  from 8 September 2021  to 1 October 2021. After all, the expenditure commitment deadline came to an end on 31 March 2022. Subsequently, by 31 December 2022, all interventions must be completed, tested, and concluded.

In terms of the cooperation with our Italian distributor partners, with each board purchased through the PON tender, they provide mozaBook Classroom licence and Mozaik Teacher licence to the end-users.
