SUMA Project (Open Murcia University Services)

Abstract

The SUMA project, represents the actions taken to develop a whole TIC (Information and Communications Technologies) solution, which allows the pupils in the project to access remotely to the University from their own home. The goals in this virtual access, goes from making the remote control of the administrative and the extra-curricula tasks easy, to making some teaching tasks for a specific course if possible (forums, remote tutorials, e-mail linked to the courses, virtual classrooms, virtual exercises and problems which an Intelligent Card authentifies). These tasks are called TeleLearning. We want to facilitate some tasks, which can be made at the pupil”s home, avoiding unnecessary pupil displacements which can be harmful for nature. This kind of teaching is called bimodal. The SUMA project is a long time project, with great teaching and academic interest, really important for the Information Society development in Murcia
