More specifically the implemented services are related to:· Exams recording· Exams organizations· Lecture recording· Final exams recording· Inter- EU students academic documents exchange. The Project Work Plan will encompass activities necessary for conducting "user acceptance" trials: 1) the adaptation of the existing services. 2) the set-up of the pilots on the UNIMATICA web servers 3) the implementation of the contents / data flows from / to Universities 4) the training of the users and start-up of the trials. The validation trials will involve the partner Universities (professors and staff) and a relevant number of students engaged by the professors themselves. The preparation of any test site will be very heavy, due to: - huge quantity of material to be translated (user interface and manuals) - integration of local "digital signature" - preparation of contents and data flows by Universities. The four pilots will be prepared by working in parallel as much as possible in live condition?
