eLearning Lab (eLab)

The aim of eLab - eLearning Lab is to promote the development of eLearning applications at USI and SUPSI, and, less directly, in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland. To achieve this goal, eLab provides USI and SUPSI faculties, departments, institutes, lecturers, and collaborators with all the necessary infrastructures and support services.
eLab's basic services include:

• Management of iCorsi (http://www.icorsi.ch/) and assistance for its use. iCorsi is an online Learning Management System that allows teachers to share learning materials, engage in discussions with students, communicate information about the courses, manage students' evaluations, and so on. Moreover, eLab offers some workshops about the use of iCorsi and other ICTs in teaching and learning activities, dealing with both their technological and pedagogical aspects.
• Management of other eLearning tools and/or assistance on their use:
  - Turnitin (http://www.turnitin.com/), an anti-plagiarism software; 
  - MindMeister (http://www.mindmeister.com/), a software that allows to create collaboratively online concept maps and to share them online;
  - Prezi (http://www.prezi.com/), a software for creating presentations;
  - Adobe Connect (http://collab.switch.ch/), a software for desktop conferences managed by Switch.
