In order to support a growing number of partnerships between SAPO and Portuguese Universities, which resulted in the wide deployment of several lab.sapo Platforms, there was a need to develop a central platform that would aggregate all the content produced on the different platforms.

The recently established labs.sapo/ua is Portuguese Internet Giant SAPO‘s latest attempt at gaining a foothold in the Higher Education space. The lab is a physical space in the Universidade de Aveiro campus where SAPO supports the development of innovative projects in the Web and Technology fields in tight collaboration with the University itself. In order to promote the initiative building a solid Web presence was top priority. The platform to be developed needed to promote communication with the outside world and shine a light on the various ongoing projects at the lab. With this in mind, me and the rest of the team decided to develop a platform based on WordPress MU that would support an indefinite number of personal and project blogs. This platform would need to be flexible enough to be deployed nearly as-is in a number of situations, such as other Universities or other SAPO sponsored events (as is the case of labs.sapo/codebits and labs.sapo/summerbits).

Caixa d’Óculos was the final project for a Dynamic Internet Technologies course, taken on the first year of my Masters in Multimedia Communication at the University of Aveiro.
This web application would allow for students in all degrees of teaching to manage their school related tasks, calendars and learning content in a shared, community space accessible from anywhere. It would differ from regular e-learning solutions in that it was strongly student oriented, and focused on those same students to publish and share educational content (videos, images, even their own notes) with others, while allowing everyone to view and rate those contents.

cetac.media, an organization dedicated to the study of Communication Technologies, needed a website redesign, but more important, an overall shift in the direction of their web strategy. They wanted a more open platform, where every member could share resources, communicate and divulge their published works. The site needed to be fresh and current, while still making usability and functionality a top priority. (…) more after the jump ›

The Bluespots Card Generator project was an interesting one. The application was to be designed using the Bluespots API, in development stage at the time, which allowed for Bluetooth communication between mobile devices and Bluetooth enabled Hubs (the Bluespots, which in turn communicated with a central server where all the data was stored). This essentially allowed for quick and seamless content distribution in event-type situations. (…) more after the jump ›
