Abstract

In ACACIA project, technological innovation opens new ways, proposing solutions to avoid student dropout in Latin America. That is concretized by the development of technological innovative solutions to be applied in real scenarios and supporting the transformation of innovative ideas into new businesses. In that context, are implemented centres for educational and professional development (CADEP) sustained by a set of modules in which is integrated Innova that is responsible for technological innovations development.

The aim of this study is to propose innovative solutions to support in a general way the inclusion and to meliorate both emotional state and attention of students in risk of dropout based on ICT technologies. Additionally, an approach for technological innovations validation and evaluation is also proposed, as well if appropriate, supportive guidance for entrepreneur business establishment.
