USING ONLINE DATABASE PROVIDERS TO MEDIATE THE STUDENT-TEACHER AND TEACHER-TEACHER INTERACTION. SOME APPLICATIONS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: The online, small and highly customizable "cloud computing" applications can be used very efficiently for educational purposes. Applications used in frameworks such as Zoho Creator and Google Apps approximate well these requirements. In this paper we present the use of Zoho Creator programming environment for the development of applications that mediate the student-teacher and teacher-teacher interaction. The first example is Student Paper and Marks Organizer, an online application for the uploading of the term papers by students, which also permits grade assignation by the professor and the assistant. The second one, called Conference Organizer, is an online registration application for scientific conferences, recently used for the "Education and social change" conference organized by the University of Oradea. All applications produced within this framework are user-friendly and highly customizable.
