Book cover Distributed User Interfaces: Usability and Collaboration

Part of the book series: Human–Computer Interaction Series ((HCIS))

Abstract

Based on the rapid development of technology-enhanced learning, this paper describes the conceptual process developed for the CSchool educational system, which aims to support administration of the educational process by applying Distributed User Interfaces (DUIs) to cloud services. CSchool encourages students, teachers and parents to use new technologies in the classroom. This implementation happens within the entire educational environment, taking advantage of easy-to-use distributed interfaces to facilitate learning-oriented interaction and collaboration between its users. CSchool is part of the “Escuela 2.0” (School 2.0) project designed to support and engage a large number of Spanish schools; it responds to the need to create and facilitate collaborative learning within the educational process.
