However, the availability of university-wide services in the mobile sector is still poor. If they exist they usually result from individual activities of students and teachers. Mobile applications can have an essential impact on the improvement of students' self-organization as well as on the design and enhancement of specific learning scenarios, though. This article introduces a mobile campus app framework, which integrates central campus services and decentralized learning applications. An analysis of strengths and weaknesses of different approaches is presented to summarize and evaluate them in terms of requirements, development, maintenance and operation. The article discusses the underlying service-oriented architecture that allows transferring the campus app to other universities or institutions at reasonable cost. It concludes with a presentation of the results as well as ongoing discussions and future work}, language = {en} } @incollection{KiyListLucke2017, author = {Kiy, Alexander and List, Christoph and Lucke, Ulrike}, title = {A virtual environment and infrastructure to ensure future readiness of Computer Centers}, series = {European Journal of Higher Education IT}, volume = {2017}, booktitle = {European Journal of Higher Education IT}, number = {1}, issn = {2519-1764}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2017}, abstract = {The ongoing digitalization leads to a need of continuous change of ICT (Information and Communi-cation Technology) in all university domains and therefore affects all stakeholders in this arena. More and more ICT components, systems and tools occur and have to be integrated into the existing processes and infrastructure of the institutions. These tasks include the transfer of resources and information across multiple ICT systems. By using so-called virtual environments for domains of re-search, education, learning and work, the performance of daily tasks can be aided. Based on a user requirement analysis different short- and long-term objectives were identified and are tackled now in the context of a federal research project. In order to be prepared for the ongoing digitalization, new systems have to be provided. Both, a service-oriented infrastructure and a related web-based virtual learning environment constitute the platform Campus.UP and creates the necessary basis to be ready for future challenges. The current focus lies on e-portfolio work, hence we will present a related focus group evaluation. The results indicate a tremendous need to extend the possibilities of sharing resources across system boundaries, in order to enable a comfortable participation of exter-nal cooperating parties and to clarify the focus of each connected system. The introduction of such an infrastructure implies far-reaching changes for traditional data centers. Therefore, the challenges and risks of faculty conducting innovation projects for the ICT organization are taken as a starting point to stimulate a discussion, how data centers can utilize projects to be ready for the future needs. We are confident that Campus.UP will provide the basis for ensuring the persistent transfer of innovation to the ICT organization and thus will contribute to tackle the future challenges of digitalization.}, language = {en} } @incollection{KiyLuckeZoerner2014, author = {Kiy, Alexander and Lucke, Ulrike and Zoerner, Dietmar}, title = {An adaptive personal learning environment architecture}, series = {Architecture of Computing Systems - ARCS 2014 Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, volume = {2014}, booktitle = {Architecture of Computing Systems - ARCS 2014 Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, number = {8350}, publisher = {Springer}, isbn = {978-3-319-04890-1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {60 -- 71}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Institutions are facing the challenge to integrate legacy systems with steadily growing new ones, using different technologies and interaction patterns.

First, a general overview over the field is given, followed by the description of the core components of the PLE framework. A prototypical implementation is presented. Finally, it's shown how the PLE framework can be dynamically adapted to a changing system environment, reflecting experiences from first user studies.}, language = {en} } @article{KiyDehneBussler2015, author = {Kiy, Alexander and Dehne, Julian and Bussler, Dirk}, title = {Aufbau einer Cloud-Speicherl{\"o}sung und Integration in bestehende IuK-Infrastrukturen am Beispiel ownCloud an der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, series = {Cloudspeicher im Hochschuleinsatz 2015: Proceedings der Tagung "Cloudspeicher im Hochschuleinsatz" am 07. und 08.

The work examines how a competency framework is derived through study regulations and module descriptions, and how subsequent questions for students' reflection are systematically created using this framework. Next, the hybrid mobile applicationReflect.UPand its underlying software components are introduced, stimulating students' reflections on study content and objectives. The data gathered through the practical use ofReflect.UPis evaluated, and then the ensuing conclusions drawn from students' problems and learning processes for organizing the course of studies are explored.
