Cyber Infrastructure for Research & Education in Canada. What is Canada's vis...CANARIE Inc.
The document discusses Canada's vision for cyber infrastructure for research and education. It proposes developing a common infrastructure across facilities to provide a consistent user experience, rather than distinct infrastructures. This would involve building capacity for storage, repositories, standards, converters, and catalogues to share raw data, analyzed data, publications, and more between facilities. The goal is to position cyber infrastructure as a strategic priority and inform upcoming strategy and funding decisions.

This document discusses the development of a new multi-device application called iUOC for the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. It aims to create an accessible, intuitive app that can be used quickly across different devices. The application would allow students at the university to access resources and interact with the community from any mobile device. The document promotes further engagement with the project through the iCommunity blog.
The document discusses recommendations for designing a mobile learning environment based on student perceptions from a case study at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The case study found that (1) students primarily use laptops and desktops for schoolwork and smartphones less frequently, (2) UOC's existing mobile offerings had little awareness but met some needs, and (3) students preferred a single, comprehensive native app over separate mobile apps. The recommendations are to develop a single native app that provides the most relevant services and functions, is user-driven, and offers document management, messaging, and a positive student experience.
In the technical conference at Open University of Catalonia, april 2013, "the agile methodology", our members team, Irene Manresa and Raul Romero presented our project management methodology focused on user experience.

"Laboratorio de Accesibilidad:Universal Design de entornos de aprendizaje a distancia para los estudiantes con discapacidad"
Conferencia inaugural del Seminario de Accesibilidad en Virtual Educa (Medellín, Colombia), organizado por la UOC.
The document discusses the iUOC project at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, which aims to enable students and teachers to access learning contents and communication spaces from their virtual learning environment on mobile devices like the iPad tablet. It describes how the iUOC app works and the results of a pilot test with 45 iPads provided to students and teachers. The test found that the iPad and iUOC app were well accepted and provided fast access to information, though the iPad was less suitable for content creation. The project aims to expand the iUOC app to more devices and optimize it for different user profiles.
The document discusses a project called iUOC that aims to enable students and teachers at Universitat Oberta de Catalunya to access learning contents and alerts from their virtual learning environment on mobile devices like the iPad tablet. It describes how an iUOC app was developed to allow users to access materials from the virtual environment via the iPad. A pilot program distributed iPads to test the app, and user feedback was positive about the app and iPad as a communication and learning tool. However, the iPad was not deemed suitable for content creation. The document concludes that while the iUOC project provides mobile access to course content, interactive apps specific to subject areas could further enhance the mobile learning experience.
The document discusses conducting research on mobile learning applications for students who learn exclusively online while commuting. It aims to define useful m-learning scenarios for designing friendly, mobile applications based on user requirements. The methodology involves personas, focus groups, and contextual inquiries during commuting. Two sample personas are provided: Xavi, a 35-year old account manager studying business administration who takes a 20-minute trip, and Imma, a 28-year old lawyer studying humanities who takes a 45-minute trip. Some current mobile learning projects are also listed.
