It also refers to the conscious use of smartphones and other electronic devices, which are useful work tools, but also a possible source of distraction. The guide also contains ideas on how to spend your free time and references to links to institutional and in-depth sites.

As students we felt the need to do our part “explains Irene Alfarone, student and contact person of the working group.” We therefore thought of making our knowledge of work psychology available to all to help boys and girls like us to manage it. study and feel less alone and disoriented. The guide produced wants to be not only a support, but an invitation to experiment and discover new parts of oneself to treasure for a future in lighter shades. “The Smart Learning guide is available to all students and can be freely downloaded from Kingdom.it portal.
