Revisiting design of learning and mobility services

Three Business case studies in University Laboratories on learning and mobility allow experimenting new multidisciplinary expertise, multimedia data management, analysis, distributed collaboration. Software and Hardware engineering practices, cloud technology-based, benefit from information acquired from the Web, increasing abilities in rapid prototyping, in satisfying the needs of customers, validation of pricing policies, marketing strategies and the creation of new professional skills in line with recent trends. As an alternative to standard software engineering programming, the cloud approach allows to specify the projects’ concepts by reaching stakeholders of needed ICT components to implement a prototype relying on SW components available elsewhere. These sample cases refer to: 1) Program for Recovery Insufficient Grades in High-School (PRISC), focuses on the learner and on how proficiency assessed through the grades could be improved; 2) Social Mobility (SM) to reduce dependence on owned cars to satisfy mobility needs exploiting the empty seats available in most cars in metropolitan cities with air pollution problems; 3) Innovative Technology Learning for Humanities at University level (I-DEAS) to create an innovative learning and teaching environment focused on a creative contamination among Humanities and Technology disciplines
