ORT Virtual Campus Offers Students Remote Access to their Works

ORT students can use from their homes a new service provided by the Virtual Campus, which is in beta version: the file administrator.

When entering the Campus, students will have access to their personal folders and files stored at the schools’ servers. Students will have to log in at the internal network (usually with their ID number) and their password. Once they have finished this step, they will be able to get to their files through the highlighted icon of the image.

The file administrator contains all the functions that are usually provided by virtual storage servers, such as file uploading and downloading, folder creation, documents previewing, etc. By using this service, students will be able to continue their homework at home or at school without having the need to forward it by e-mail or copy it on a pendrive or a CD. In some weeks, the file administrator will also be available for the students of the Institutes and for all the teachers.

The Virtual Campus aims at improving the services provided to our students, and keeps on working on one of its fundamental ideas which is to “constantly accompany students”, since their works will be permanently at their own disposal, from any computer, cell phone or PDA connected to the Internet.

Interactive Painting at the Museum of the Cabildo

The project consists of a software which reproduces the picture painted in oil in 1909 by Pedro Subercasseaux. Those who visit the Cabildo will be able to ‘have a conversation’ with the painting by clicking on a close plasma screen TV. In this way, when clicking the mouse, you’ll be able to learn about the names and biographies of all the people who participated that day, the expenditures of the event, how they voted, what was the average age, and what was happening in Europe and in the Spanish Viceroyalties towards 1810.
