[Using Sakai] [Building Sakai] New SmartPhone interface to sakai

[Holladay, Bryan Andrew]

IU is doing something very similar to this (http://m.iu.edu).  We have leveraged MIU's mobile platform ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/mitmobileweb/) and Sakai's entity broker restful services.  Just like the MollyProject, MIU's mobile web works for all web enabled phones and is extendable.  I will be displaying IU's mobile phone implementation at the Denver conference during the tech demonstrations and will have iPods for people to experience it first hand.

I am interested in how you have implemented the Sakai tools in the MollyProject.  I think this could be a great time in the community to work together in extending Sakai for generic mobile data usage like these two project (ie. Not platform dependent).  I have extended the Synoptic M&F Tool, Messages Tool, Forums Tool, and the Announcements tool and would gladly share my code.  I see you have the Polls and Schedule tool.  It would be nice to work together and share what we have done.  What other tools are you expecting to work on?


Thanks,
Bryan

Here at Oxford we've been working on a mobile portal (m.ox.ac.uk) and have recently open sourced the code; this is available on sourceforge as the "Molly project" (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mollyproject/).

The mobile portal displays all sorts of information such as maps, live bus times, weather resports, podcasts and library search and is designed in two parts - an aggregation/manipulation layer and a web UI which works on all web capable phones (self adjusting).

The design also allows for native applications to be built concurrently with the web UI.

As part of the work we're currently providing oAuth-based access to Sakai tools, this includes tools such as Polls, Schedule and Announcements.

A few Sakai institutions have already expressed an interest in deploying the mobile portal and we were wondering if anybody else wanted to find out more.

If so send an email to erewhon at oucs.ox.ac.uk
