On June 15, 2018 Vakaris Šaulys from Vilnius Business College conducted piloting with teachers from various higher education institutions, including VBC. The teachers are practicians. They have their own consultancy companies, business enterprises, translation bureaus or work directly with partners and customers. Therefore they took great interest in the UID learning tool and said it is a really innovative way to approach languages and their studies.

On June 15, 2018 Vilnius Business College teachers had a staff workshop of A1 tasks in an academic year closing meeting, where many teachers gathered from all specialties taught in the College. Teachers tried out the tasks using tablets and a few laptops; some of them used smartphones. It was noticed that in certain cases formatting looks better on laptops than on other portal devices. All in all, the A1 tasks appealed to participants. They agreed to have a full piloting session afterwards.
