| about | A university supporting a wide range of courses and research Universitat Pompeu Fabra is Catalonia's fourth publicly funded university. It is a young university, yet it already has its own little slice of history: it was founded in 1990 with 316 students taking two degree courses, and today it has 9,000 students, fourteen degree courses and an expanding campus in the heart of Barcelona. The Interactive Technology group (GTI) will participate in this project. GTI focuses on interactive multimedia and networks, and its current work includes cooperative environments, intelligent web portals, educational telematics, geographical information systems The GTI leads UPF participation in UNFOLD, and is coordinator of the project. UNFOLD is funded by the European Commission to support the adoption of eLearning specifications supporting multiple learners and flexible pedagogies, and is focusing on IMS-LD. GTI also led the SCOPE project, which developed a prototype on-line course for in service training of medical specialists.The group is also a core member of SIGOSSEE, which supports a Special Interest Group on open source software in education, and provides access to publications, discussions and collaborative activities. The large number of seminaries, meetings and workshops in which the Group is involved, and the collaboration in many publications, forum and web sites gives it a high capacity to disseminate and valorise the project results. |
