What is involved and what has been achieved in the project 'Learning with Virtual Reality: The Next Level'?

ZIeZO is a tool that helps exchange digital educational resources within healthcare. In this article, you will discover how the tool was created and what is available in this repository.

In this case story, read why and how Naturalis uses SURF Research Access Management for their researchers.

Serious gaming is increasingly used in higher education. But how can you measure what students have learned during the game? To this end, the Open University developed a tool that makes it possible to integrate analytical rubrics within serious games.

Music is essential for forming coalitions, argues a group of international and interdisciplinary researchers. To analyse the data, team member Chirag Chittar used SURF Research Cloud.

What role do particulate matter and clouds play in global warming? That is what a Dutch-developed measurement instrument aboard a new NASA climate satellite is investigating. The data gets processed and stored at SURF and made available to science.

Groninger Forum chooses SURFwireless for their wifi in the new building. A pilot shows that SURF can also successfully optimise existing networks.

Open source software allows programmers worldwide to collaborate on the code of a particular product. Through GitHub, that new code spreads super fast in both the profit and non-profit sectors. That idea inspired medical lecturer Stijn Bos. Can we set up a similar community for medicine education, with open and online educational resources and where users and publishers build on each other's work?
