 eLearning
Since 1998 M-IT has developed solutions for web-supported student communication
and distance learning. With the spreading of the Internet the basic technology
for building virtual universities and online teaching has become available.
But simply transferring educational content of books to the Internet, publishing
unmodified lecture notes on the web or creating online versions of the lecturer's
slides are no substitute for live lectures and will not lead to satisfying teaching
results. Teaching material has to be properly prepared and adapted for online
courses. The published content must be subject to permanent extension and maintenance.
Teachers, particularly those from other than technical disciplines, should not
need to worry about technical issues. An adequate replacement for the direct
communication between the students and the teacher has to be provided.
In cooperation with service.at, a company specialized in designing and implementing
internet solutions, M-IT is creating virtual lectures. The flexible website
toolkit Meridian developed by service.at is used for setting up dynamically
created web sites. Through a web-based administration interface instructors
modify the content of their online courses fast and easily. They don't have
to care about page design or technical aspects. Meridian provides the required
tools to set up discussion and communication space where students may talk to
each other or contact the instructor.
To enrich the presented material and promote the collaboration and participation
of the students M-IT is developing interactive simulations for the web.
"managementexercise.com" is an interactive strategy game, based on John R.
Hauser's Enterprise. The simulation was mainly created for management education
purposes to make students understand the basic concepts of competitive strategies,
marketing and new product planning. Students work in teams. Each team manages a firm
in a virtual world where it faces the tough competition of other firms. The detailed
setting and the appearance of the simulation are customized by the supervising
instructor.
The lecture and student management system
"checkPoint charly" allows students
to (pre)register for courses and examinations. Teachers manage their courses
and examinations via an easy-to-use Windows-client. Data is stored in an open and
documented database and may be used and modified by external / third party applications.
The grading service keeps students informed about their current achievements
in every course session. Students may query their test results and grades via
a web interface. Alternatively they may use their mobile wap phones for this
purpose.
