The KATAPILA project aims to develop and evaluate tools, mechanisms and procedures, which advance the integration of new and emerging web-based technologies with institutional systems for information management in a way that is sustainable, delivers efficiency savings for administrative and teaching staff and which provides genuine benefits to learners. 

 

The three key outcomes of the KATAPILA project are:

1.   Provision of personalised information: the provision of syndicated timetable content presented through a combination of email, RSS and SMS channels.  

2.   System integration: at the heart of the project are proposals to develop mechanisms for integrating institutional systems with emerging technologies such aas Google Apps. 

3.   Embedding of mobile services: this will involve provision of a self-service ‘timetable on demand’ facility, delivered by SMS to students’ mobile handsets will make an important contribution to the move for greater mobile access to personal learning information.
