Virtual desktops in cloud scenarios play a significant role in higher education. Nowadays, the idea of moving laboratories to the cloud seems mandatory and it is necessary to maintain students’ commitment in this new scenario. This paper aims at two targets, customizing a Virtual Desktop platform for delivering the laboratories of a programming course in a Computer Science Bachelor Degree and empirically apply the technology acceptance model and the system usability scale to a set of students that use it. Results obtained in this paper provide insights about the direct effect between the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and attitude to technology following the technology acceptance model (TAM) as well as a comprehensive analysis of the system usability scale (SUS) of our platform.

Objetivo: Desenvolver e validar um aplicativo para cálculo de dose pediátrica na unidade de terapia intensiva pediátrica e urgência e emergência. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo metodológico, descritivo, aplicado na modalidade de produção tecnológica. Resultados: Dez médicos pediatras utilizaram o aplicativo e posteriormente o avaliaram, segundo os critérios de layout, usabilidade, percepção de utilidade, facilidade de uso e utilidade percebida pela tecnologia, mediante a utilização de um questionário impresso baseado no System Usability Scale - SUS (Escala de Usabilidade de Sistema) e na Technology Acceptance Model - TAM (Modelo de Aceitação de Tecnologia). No geral, o software obteve 88,1% de aprovação pelos juízes, com 90,0% de aprovação no quesito usabilidade e facilidade de aprendizagem, e 85,8% para Utilidade do aplicativo. Conclusão: O aplicativo móvel CALCULEPED mostrou-se como uma tecnologia útil, prático e bem aceito pelos médicos pediatras, facilitando o cálculo de dose pediátrica nos serviços de urgência, emergência e unidade de terapia intensiva.

The m-Governance framework of auniversity aims to utilize the massive reach of mobile phones and harness the potential of mobile applications to enable easy and round the-clock access to the services of its affiliated institutions.  In the current mobile age there is need for transforming e-governance services to m-Governance as m-Governance is not a replacement for e-Governance rather it complements e-Governance. With this unparalleled advancement of mobile communication technologies, universities are turning to m-governance to realize the value of mobile technologies for responsive governance and measurable improvements to academic, social and economic development, public service delivery, operational efficiencies and active stakeholder engagement. In this context the present study, aims to develop and validate a m-governance framework of a university by extending Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with its prime stakeholders so called the Heads of the affiliated institutions. A survey instrument was developed based on the framework and it was administered with 20 Heads of the affiliated Institutions. The results also showed that the Heads of the affiliated Institutions expressed their favorableness towards m-governance adoption.
