Transcript of Data Center Rats: Assignment 4
Mobile PLE‘sespecially
for RWTH studentsData Center Rats
whenever whatever wherever
Smartphones are becoming more and morecommon
High network coverage
Current Situation
We have two systems: A learning platform (L²P) and a study-planning-system (CampusOffice)
Current Situation
Students are always on the run
Exercises and material is online
Current Situation
Shortcomings-Problems Intricate to access:
Different Log-Ins Too much content -> long delays
Hard to handle and to navigate
Shortcomings-Problems Missing:
Specific adaptation of websites for mobile phones
Integration into common (mobile) software (e.g. transfer of calendar)
Learning-material optimized for mobile devices (e.g. MC-tests for self assessment)
Unified Log-In
Easy transfer of tasks and dates from one calendar to the other
Improvement ideas
Fast optimized mobile access to the most needed functionalities
Stay informed about what happened in the “learning rooms” that you are subscribed to
Improvement ideas
Connecting “Hörsaalfinder” with Google Maps
Improvement ideas
1. Evaluating needs and possibilities
2. Getting familiar with techniques of implementation
3. First implementation
Approach: First Phase
4. Testphase
5. Re-evaluation
6. Re-work of implementation
7. Finishing and presenting the project!
Approach: Second Phase
Target group analysis via survey
◦ RWTH Students
◦ Which features are students using for their organization purposes?
◦ How do they use them?◦ Where and when do they use them?◦ What annoys them?◦ What would they like to use?
Analysis
Technical analysis (existing systems)
◦ What are common smartphone platforms?
◦ What interfaces exist for L2P and Campus?
◦ Creation of interface for Google Maps possible?
Analysis
Technical analysis (new system)
◦ System (Android, IOS, Symbian)
◦ Which programming language needs to be used?
◦ New App or Web-based?
◦ What functionalities can we realize?
Analysis
Extreme Programming (XP)
◦ Programming in pairs
◦ Requirements are not completely known
◦ Prioritization during development process
Development
Advantages of XP
◦ Quick delivery
◦ Flexible
◦ High quality
Development
RWTH Learning environments more flexible and usable for mobile phones
◦ Better Log – In
◦ Faster
◦ Connected with Calendar and Google Maps
Conclusion
Approach:
◦ Analysis via survey
◦ Usage of extreme programming
