A tutor, who was specifically trained on the methodologies of the project, held each course during afternoon meetings at school and online tutorings via a web-conferencing software. The goal of the project was not only to overcome learning difficulties but also to reduce the phenomenon of early school leaving, to increase motivation in studying and to facilitate the transition between lower and upper secondary school. In order to do so, a virtual learning environment was chosen, integrated with different plugins that allow the implementation of collaborative and cooperative learning as well as adaptive teaching, problem solving and learning by doing, thanks to the possibility of creating and sharing interactive materials.Besides technologies, the key point for the success of the project was the close cooperation between tutor and teachers in order to provide a better education continuity. Results will show that the project had a higher impact on those students whose tutor and teacher carried out a successful collaboration. ER -
