Finland, England: primary and secondary schools equally targeted
Hungary, Greece, Romania: secondary schools promoted
Availability of digital teaching aids in national languages: primary level content inferior
Internet connection: a vaguely defined concept – multigrade requires classroom level access
NEMED Network: Targeting diverse European regions
