[Using Sakai] Sakai simplified tablet interface for children in hospitals

[Beth Kirschner]

This is very cool -- can you submit a JIRA and a patch with the changes needed? I don't have an immediate need, but would like to see this merged into the Sakai code base if possible.

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.

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.

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.
