Domnul Profesor Ion Roceanu a avut ideea conceperii si elaborarii proiectului transdisciplinar “Multi-touch” ("Proces educational optimizat in viziunea competentelor societatii cunoasterii"), impreuna cu Prof. Radu Jugureanu de la SIVECO Romania (Proiectul "multi-touch" este medaliat la IPMA International Project Excellence Award 2013,  IPMA - International Project Management Association, Gold Award:
http://ipma.ch/award-news/ipma-announces-the-pe-award-finalists-2013/: the 27th IPMA World Congress 2013 - http://www.ipma2013.hr/. Proiectul "multi-touch": http://transdisciplinar.pmu.ro/primapagina ).
Utilizarea tehnologiei multi-touch in e-Learning si training, in perfectionarea initiala si cea continua, ofera un cadru adecvat pentru implementarea diverselor metode didactice si pedagogice, a diverselor experiente din educatie si cercetare prin invatarea pe baza de proiect, prin activitati colaborative, prin schimbarea paradigmelor in sistemul educational. Prin proiectele transdisciplinare de tip multi-touch se imbunateste colaborarea intre profesor si elevi. Proiectul a fost finantat prin FSE POSDRU 2007-2013 si implementat de catre Ministerul Educatiei Nationale, prin Unitatea de Management al Proiectelor cu Finantare Externa, in parteneriat cu SIVECO Romania si Universitatea Nationala de Aparare "Carol I". Acesta a fost declarat castigator in cadrul competitiei Project of the Year 2013 (PMI Chapter Romania). “Proiectul a implementat un proces didactic inovator, unic in Romania, care utilizeaza invatarea bazata pe proiect in context transdisciplinar cu sprijinul dispozitivelor multi-touch. In loc de tastatura si mouse sau de manipularea ecranului cu un singur deget (ca in cazul echipamentelor touchscreen), sistemele multi-touch sunt capabile de o interactiune mult mai naturala. Continutul educational specific tehnologiei multi-touch poate fi astfel controlat cu toata palma, cu mai multe degete, de catre unul sau mai multi utilizatori in aceasi timp. Scopul acestei solutii este de a imbunatati colaborarea intre elevi si profesori, de a angaja elevii in activitati de grup, de a-i motiva sa experimenteze, facand trecerea de la invatarea bazata pe memorare la cea bazata pe descoperire si construire a cunoasterii.” (Sursa: http://www.agora.ro/)
