eduGI
(Reuse and sharing of e-Learning courses in GI Science education)
Duration: start 01/02/2006, duration is 18 months
Objectives
Many European GI institutes have digital teaching material available. Some already have introduced e-Learning. The project idea is to (re)use existing resources by the exchange of e-Learning courses via the internet. This improves
- • Quality of teaching material
- • Access to international GI know-how and new topics that the receiving institutes could not offer to their students by own resources
- • Virtual mobility of teachers and students across seven European countries
- • Re-use of resources already invested in e-Learning (personnel and finances) by a good practice organizational model for sustainable and future-oriented exploitation
- • Implementation of the Bologna process by international cooperation of European GI institutes, based on the existing networks
- • E-Learning of non-GI institutes by best-practice examples.
