To be held together with the Latin American e-Science Meeting and the ION Conference, TICAL2017 (July 3-5, San José, Costa Rica) will offer in its program six different workshops that will discuss topics such as the use of the Colaboratorio platform, IPv6 and Development Methodologies, further enriching its three days of activities.
The workshops will be given by experts in the respective areas during the second day of the Conference, July 4, between 5 and 7 pm, San José time (GMT -6), and require online registration that can be accessed through the links that are presented at the end of this note.
RedCLARA's corporate associate, Microsoft will be responsible for one of the courses, namely "The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Advanced Analytics, Cognitive Services, Open Source Software, Cloud, Trends in Education: Assembling All Pieces to Support Teaching and Digital transformation in Education", which will be taught by Gustavo Fridman, Manager of Solutions for Higher Education for Latin America and the Caribbean of Microsoft.
The purpose of the workshop is to create an interactive space for IT Directors, Rectors and Academic Directors to help them envision action paths in the midst of a new environment of profound change.
Colaboratorio, a platform developed by RedCLARA to support and promote the collaboration of scientific and academic groups, will be the subject of two other workshops, driven to users (Tools for the collaborative work of researchers and academics from all over the world) and technicians (Platform Deployment). The courses will be taught by the General Coordinator of Academic Communities of RedCLARA, Tania Altamirano, and by Carlos Gonzáles, Leader of Development Projects of the regional network, respectively.
"The user workshop seeks to present the main functionalities of the platform through a practical tour of the integrated tools. The technical one, on the other hand, will present, from the technical point of view, what is the Colaboratorio, its structure, the possibilities and requirements for the installation and the general process to guide a National Research and Education Network in the process of local deployment", says Altamirano.
The role of the manager in projects managed through the Scrum framework will also be addressed in the workshop "Agile software development with SCRUM and the role of the project manager according to PMI", which will be taught by Jorge Alvarado Zamora, from the University of Costa Rica.
There will also be two specific workshops for ICT managers: "Sharing problems and solutions" and "IPv6 for ICT managers", which shows basic concepts of IPv6, its importance in the development of the Internet and business cases where IPv6 is shown as the best solution from the technical and business point of view for the problem of address shortage.
