The Innovation Statement

The cooperating universities (UAS) will offerThe cooperating universities (UAS) will offer cooperative programs of studies, a virtual organisation is built by non-virtual institutions

Multimedial teaching material will be used in the virtual Multimedial teaching material will be used in the virtual study programs and new telematic didactical methods study programs and new telematic didactical methods will be applied.will be applied.

Courseware will be usable for many different groups of learners, globally available modules and open universities studies should be integrated.




e. g. media and computer engineering

Informatics 1

In addition globally available study materials:CBTs, WBTs, exercises, scripts, animations, virtual laboratories, case studies, research results, conferences, virtual courses of studies, .....
