eLivingCampus Presentations

As you know, our software engineering classes are developing the information systems that will power the LivingCampus. Last week the groups gave their final presentations to their clients – Paula and Michelle.

I was really impressed how the realisation that the LivingCampus is “more than a garden” came through in the students’ work. Their systems reflected this more than a garden, supporting not just the functional aspects of operating a garden, but in using this to enhance learning. As Michelle summarised at the end – these developments will act to bring about more sustainable ways of living.

In the third iteration, groups within each of the two classes worked together to produce integrated systems.  A common database, style guide and directory structure were established and groups worked to pass information from one section to another – from maps to search and back again.
