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{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. With the demand of offering the best potential of all systems, several not matching systems including their functions have to be aggregated and offered in a useable way. This paper presents an adaptive, generalizable and self-organized Personal Learning Environment (PLE) framework with the potential to integrate several heterogeneous services using a service-oriented architecture. 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} }
