[Building Sakai] RV: is there any usable mobile code?

Tue Sep 6 13:13:53 PDT 2011

Hello

At Indiana University we have some of Sakai CLE mobilized. It's a joint 
effort between the Sakai and Kuali communities. Sakai exposed tools via 
Entity Broker over OAuth and Kuali Mobile consumed the web services and 
displayed them using HTML5 via JQuery Mobile.

The services we currently have are: announcements, roster, resources, 
forums, and private messages. We hope to bring grades on near end of the 
year as well as make improvements the current tools.

The Sakai code is at least in the Oncourse msub in SVN and possibly 
other branches. The front end code is in the Kuali Mobility SVN. I think 
both repositories are are least world readable.

Best
Nate

Their findings confirms our less comprehensive research--students just want an easy way to know what assignments they have to work on across their clases, and if there were any changes of plans. As such, we're hoping  to have SAMigo integrate with Schedule (thank you Longsight), as Assignments already does. I was going to ask this community if there was a representation of the Schedule as a "to do list" for mobile.

This is inside a very interesting project to help children in hospital to continue with their classes using tactile devices and Sakai in their rooms.

We are just finishing a document with the actual work done and the future work to be done (in the next months) and we can send it. We hope all those services will be included in future Sakai releases.

It's not 'native' as in Cocoa Touch or Java, its HTML5, but it deploys as a native app via PhoneGap meaning the same code can be used across every platform. Code available. I've also CC'd Kasun, the student who worked on this.

>> Browsing through confluence and this list it's unclear to me whether there is any currently usable mobile code or not. We have a project that wants an iPad native interface. They sponsored someone at another institution to build a mobile front end, but it doesn't work very well. We're willing to put development manpower into it, but we need something that actually works to start with. Is there anything?
