• Planning development processes

  Planning development processes:

  Developing software isn’t just about writing code but also about many other tasks such as quality assurance, integrating user-feedback, and working with other software projects. Activity Central offers consulting services and training to facilitate the planning and execution of efficient and effective development processes.

• Keeping software updated

  Keeping software updated:

  Updating the software on hundreds or hundreds of thousands of devices is always challenging. Even more so in environments where Internet isn’t always available and updates have to be synchronized with a school-year rhythm. Activity Central’s knowledge allows us to design effective updating strategies for your project. 

• Customizing existing systems

  Customizing existing systems:

  Especially thanks to open source software development today systems are available for almost any imaginable use. However within the context of educational technologies project in schools these systems often need to be adapted to specific requirements. Activity Central can provide a helping hand for such customizations. 

• Fixing software-related problems

  Fixing software-related problems:

  Software is never going to be 100% reliable. However by building on proven technologies, using industry-standard tool chains, and applying best practice methodologies software problems can be addressed quickly and cost-effectively. Activity Central’s services can support your developers in improving software reliability.

• Setting up servers

  Setting up servers:

  Regardless of whether they are used for Web content filtering or providing intra-school services, servers in schools play an important role in educational technologies projects. Activity Central developed Dextrose School Server as a platform to address all of these and other similar applications.

• Creating learning applications

  Creating learning applications:

  Interactive education programs or similarly structured content often sits at the heart of educational technologies projects. Within the Sugar learning platform these programs are referred to as Activities. Activity Central can support you in developing new Activities or customizing existing ones according to your requirements.

• Configuring backend services

  Configuring backend services:

  Apart from the software running on the devices used by pupils and teachers educational technologies projects also require backend services. These range from network status monitoring and repair tracking systems to anti-theft solutions. Activity Central can help you set up and run the services your project needs.

• Providing a reliable platform

  Providing a reliable platform:

  The devices used by pupils and teachers require a reliable and flexible software platform in order to become powerful learning tools. Activity Central co-develops the Dextrose Sugar distribution to address this need by educational technologies projects.
