The MapIt trials conducted in Hungary explored the use of collaborative Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) in teacher education. This January 2008 meeting in Budapest involved diverse participants, including PhD students and teacher training staff, discussing methodologies and tools for enhancing collaboration. Key topics included the usability of MapIt compared to traditional note-taking software, the role of mentor teachers, and statistical analysis of discussions. The outcomes aim to improve project management, evaluation, and collaboration in teacher training through effective tools and practices. ###
