GLORIAD Classroom
The GLORIAD Classroom
The need to learn is continuous - and especially in dynamic scientific fields that are constantly changing. The purpose of “GLORIAD Classroom” is to provide scientists, educators and students with a service designed to help them stay abreast of new cyberinfrastructure -- facilities, research, development -- that touches their professional activities.
At its core, GLORIAD Classroom serves as a curated information clearinghouse with weekly/daily/hourly update services made accessible via:
- a dynamically generated (from underlying sql database), browser independent web interface;
- email alerts; and
- extended search methods.
GLORIAD Classroom will notify users of new content through a flexible “current awareness” service by which new information added and curated each day is made available to subscribers based on their own specified interest/s. The Classroom disseminates this information via a user-defined, personalized web interface, as well as by email alerts.
The US team has created the system and have populated it thus far with descriptions of various cyberinfrastructure facilities. The entire software interface for the automated and targeted dissemination of information also has been created based on the PI's previous work.
GLORIAD’s PIs have used information technologies to better (and continuously) inform communities of relevant information in several other “community building” projects. Managed successfully, this can be a useful service that will result in a dynamic, community-maintained international catalog of:
- science resources;
- educational programs;
- funding opportunities;
- meetings and events; and
- success stories on the use of technologies and pointers to advanced technology resources (describing, for example, the use of high-speed file transfer utilities or listing of various solutions available for audio and video conferencing).
