Distance Education and Video conferencing
The services that CESGA offers to their users in the e-Learning field are:
Advice:
Design, implementation and evaluation of e-Learning projects:
These services can be classified in:
Initial requirement analysis of the proposal.
Design of technological solutions adapted to these requirements.
Development of models to test the proposed solutions.
Monitoring and technical assistance in the implementation stage of the project.
The process usually works this way: After the presentation of an e-learning project from the part of the user, CESGA experts evaluate the human resources, didactic method, and technological (hardware and software) needs of the project. Later, they propose solutions to answer those aspects. The proposed solutions are then tested and validated. During the implementation stage, CESGA experts monitor the project development and provide technical assistance when necessary.

Process Evaluation of the Project
Evaluation/Assessment of Needs:
In the evaluation process all elements that compose the project will be assessed: aims, user needs, technological infrastructure, human resources, timing, methodology, etc. Trying to guarantee the fulfillment of the anticipated objectives and the validity of the project results.
Once we agree on the kind of project to be made, we must then analyze what technological resources fit the project best, and what the best option is for its implementation. In case of using e-learning rooms, other elements must be taking into account:
Number of Rooms which will be used.
Ratio: number of students per Room (two maximum per job is recommended)
Number of teachers and their location, experience with ICT, etc.
Timing and location of the experience.
Content, work methodology, etc.
Planning:
From the needs are the objectives defined; from these, the content is devised and taking the objectives as a base and content, we will design the methodology and the didactic material.

Process Evaluation of the Project:
The evaluation and continuous monitoring of the project seeks the development of a feedback among all the professionals involved with the project. This way, the evolution of the research is optimized and at the same time, possible problems are reduced.
CESGA provides computing support resources to the growing number of researchers who use scientific computing tools. In order to access these services, register as a user.
