Standardized course pages (1) • 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
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
