O tema da educação é central agora (e cada vez mais) e as tecnologias/soluções que são desenvolvidas especificamente para este segmento não param de nos surpreender.
A Microsoft apresentou o Microsoft Education Partner Network dirigido a clientes e parceiros onde concentra muitos destes desenvolvimentos.
Convido-vos a visitar este Portal e a ver as seguintes soluções:
Learning Gateway
The Microsoft Learning Gateway is a solutions framework that will enable your customers to integrate many of the tools they already use (Microsoft and non-Microsoft) to better connect people, information, and processes. It is a powerful education portal that allows your customers to share information and work together on projects from a single point of access.
Learning Essentials adds curriculum-based templates and toolbars to Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, and Excel to guide students and teachers through projects. There is a separate set of tools for teachers and students. Some language versions include tools to create e-learning content that conforms to SCORM standards.
With Microsoft Math, students can learn to solve equations step-by-step, while gaining a better understanding of fundamental concepts in pre-algebra, algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry and calculus. Microsoft Math offers a wide range of additional tools to help students with complex mathematics, including a full-featured graphing calculator that’s designed to work just like a handheld calculator.
The Windows MultiPoint™ Software Development Kit (SDK) allows you to create applications in which multiple mice can be used concurrently with only one PC. Groups of students can engage in a single application at the same time, all of them focusing on the same monitor.
Launching with the next version of the Microsoft Office system, the Microsoft Semblio™ software platform (formerly Grava) is a set of tools that provides content professionals, educators, and students with an easy way to author, assemble, and publish interactive content. Semblio provides easy access to the power of Microsoft .NET and Windows® Presentation Foundation (WPF) by tailoring the Microsoft development platform specifically to the education market.
Windows SteadyState (formerly Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP) is a set of software tools to help effectively manage shared computers running Windows.
