Hi everyone, We will be having a special Change talk on *Thursday, November 29th at 12 noon in CSE 303. *This will be a *brown bag event *- lunch will *not* be provided. We hope you come anyway :-) Towards Open Architectures for Web and Mobile Software Technologies Bio: Bahtijar Vogel is a PhD candidate in Computer Science, School of Computer Science, Physics and Mathematics, at Linnaeus University (LNU) in Sweden. He holds a Master Degree in Computer Science from Växjö University (Sweden) and a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science from South East European University (Macedonia). He has also worked in the software industry in Kosovo as an engineer and software developer for a couple of years. Abstract: In this talk Bahtijar will present his current research within the area of Mobile and Web technologies. Especially he will present his ongoing work Towards Open Architectures for supporting data collection, visualization and collaboration using web and mobile technologies. The prototype experiments were conducted as part of the Learning Ecology through Science with Global Outcomes (LETS GO) research project. The aim of the project was to design challenging collaborative learning activities by utilizing mobile, sensor and visualization technologies for supporting environmental science learning. The project has been carried out in collaboration with Stanford University, National Geographic Society and schools in Sweden and USA.
