            Abstract : 
The University of Pavia has instituted an experimental project (Kiro Project) at the Faculty of Pharmacy to improve the quality of learning through tools based upon the Web. Beginning with the background, the article presents the methodological foundations of the project, the first results achieved, and the lines of pedagogical, management, and technological development which make possible the extension of the initiative to the entire University. Finally, moving forward from the experience gained with Kiro, the article describes the ICT4Unipv project which aims to achieve further goals in the fields of mobile learning and of the digitalization of learning and administrative processes.
