Reasoning behind eTKK
• To survive in the global and local competition– We need more effective processes– We need to ICT systems to support these
processes– These ICT systems must be usable and designed
user centeredly
• ICT will NOT solve the challenges by itself but it’s necessary tool in today's digitalizing environment– Remember that ICT is only one part of
organizations socio-technical environment

• All courses should have the following pages in Noppa– Course brochure– Course news– Timetable– Course results– Exercises and course material

Standardized course pages (2)
• To help teachers create the content – there are custom made templates and
easy-to-use tools– the tools are designed to support
different kinds of processes• i.e. there might be two ways to do the same
thing• Both ways lead to the same result

Implementing eLearning environment
• Autonomy of the University• Autonomy of Departments• Autonomy of laboratories• Consequence: weak central
administration• Lots of individual solutions• Internal competition
19.10.2006TOBB University
20
Present situation
• Usage of central learning platform is increasing rapidly (4100 user accounts)
• MLE- portal is at requirement planning phase
• Lots of integration needs• Single sign-on and Web services as
solution

Roadmap to the future
• University as an institute of Information society
• Universities as regional players• From formal hierarchies to open
networks• Global competition and co-operation
of Universities
