ACE Yourself App
essential skills
The ACE Yourself App covers three essential learning pathways: study, personal, and social skills. Teachers can integrate skillset development into their courses, easily providing feedback and support. Students get to train skills autonomously or in groups, while personalizing their learning experience. This app enhances student engagement, personalizes learning experiences, and prepares students for their professional futures.

Milestones
We conducted research on students and teachers’ perceptions about the most relevant skills needed for a successful transition from high school to higher education. The two groups had differing but complementary perceptions. We identified features that students would and would not like to have in an educational app.
Discover some of the research highlights about smartphone usage for education and mobile learning for personalized education.
We established the ACE app consortium consisting of 4 partner universities, also supported by formal agreements around the institutional use of the app.
The pilot of the app was tested during the Pre-Academic Program and the CONNECT mentor program of the academic year 2023/2024.
Results
Research showed that over 80% of students use their phone for study purposes.
Since the start of the project, over 1200 students were involved in developing and testing the app.
The app was rated an average of 8.2 out of a 10-point scale by over 700 students who tested it.
Over 80 stakeholders from Erasmus University, partner universities, and other organizations have already collaborated on the ACE Yourself App project.
