[DG: Teaching & Learning] Sakai simplified tablet interface for children in hospitals

[Diego del Blanco Orobitg]

Hi to all:

 

We have finished the development of the “Sakai simplified tablet interface
for children in hospitals”, as we have announced in the list time ago using
restful services.  This web interface (is not native) shows only the basic
tools of sakai in a very simple way to be used for children with a tactile
interface. The aim of the project is to use Sakai for children in Hospitals
and allow them to continue the learning in their rooms with a tactile
dispositive. 

 

You can see a demo (in English) here:  <http://youtu.be/1o5296xIqa8>

 you can see Chuck’s book as background and
the Spanish Sakai’s one too ;)

 

Anyway, this interface is not only for children you can adapt it changing
skin for other uses because is a very simple interface of Sakai for use in a
mobile tablet so it can be used in a University, college, enterprise
.

 

In Spain all the hospitals have a team of teachers for the children and a
school room  for them, but sometimes children can’t move or can’t stay
enough time out of their bedrooms, so with this system, teacher in the
hospital can send tasks  and resources to them (teacher will use sakai usual
interface) and they can do it from the bed. There are several hospitals
using a tactile screen for each bed with a lot of services, one of them can
be this one. If Hospital don’t have those screens can use tablets as seen in
the video.

 

We have modified Sakai too to improve the experience for parents. Parents
can connect to the system (with a standard Sakai interface too) and
communicate with the teachers. Those users are “student-related” so they can
view the work done by their son but not the work done by other students
(this is new in Sakai and in general in LMS’s, the “individual watcher
user”). You can define in this Sakai a hierarchy of users with parents and
sons. We have done other tools as “notes” tool where teacher can add
information about the students and select if parents can read it or not. 

 

You can see a demo of this changes (this is in Spanish, sorry) here:
