ETeach-Net details
The eTeach-Net Project
eTeach-Net was a joint Swiss Virtual Campus project involving 9 higher education institutions in Switzerland (UniGE, UniSG, UniBS,USI, ETHZ, SUPSI, BFH, FHNW, ZFH) and also training organizations.
The major objective of the project was to develop reusable teaching modules and materials about technical, pedagogical and didactic concepts of e-teaching. These modules and materials have been integrated into the curricula of postgraduate studies and continous training offers. The main outcomes are:
- A sequence of five modules about e-learning is part of courses for the International Engineering Educator Diploma and continuous training events (ING-PAED IGIP).
- Lead Partners: eLab (USI/SUPSI) and SCIL (UniSG)
- Contact: Federico Flueckiger
- An other focus was to develop a framework for action learning and problem-based learning. It is implemented in various courses at BFH e.g. in courses on information and project management.
- Lead Partner: Wirtschaft und Verwaltung (Berner Fachhochschule)
- Contact: Andreas Ninck
- The project leader focused on project-oriented learning but also educational technology. Materials are available through this wiki (and its french version). They are used for educational technology education in TECFA's Master of Science in Learning And Teaching Technologies.
- Lead Partner: TECFA (UniGE)
- Contact: Daniel Schneider
- A last focus was on strategy and quality. Modules developed are used in scientific staff training (ETHZ/UZH) but also in degree studies (FHNW).
- Lead Partner: Institut für Wirtschaftsinformatik (FHNW)
- Contact: Urs Gröhbiel
Technology used: Various learning management systems (e.g. Moodle or Blackboard Vista), read/write systems such as this wiki or customized portals (e.g. Sharepoint). We also used various formats, ranging from powerpoint presentations to standardized learning objects
Module 7 "Virtual Projects"
This Wiki has been set up for the Module 7 "Virtual Projects" course. Projects have become the common element of almost any work activity. The module introduces methods and tools for the efficient organization and management of project-based teaching. The principal role of this Wiki is to support "learning by writing scenarios". Although we do prepare some texts regarding major concepts related to project-oriented learning, other contents will be added by students and existing contents will be altered and/or annotated by students.
E-learning certificate
- Project-oriented teaching and learning - Certificat de formation continue à distance en conception et développement de projet e-Learning (TECFA/UniFR/Montréal/Mons).
- Some student activities for a project-oriented learning module were organized in the french version of this wiki
- Overall course uses TECFA's Moodle server.
Master of Science in educational technology
This wiki is used in various ways throughout TECFA's MSc MALTT (Master of Science in Learning and Teaching Technologies), e.g.
- 6 credit "independant study" course - Help:Staf2x (Summer semester 2006 / TECFA's Master MALTT in Educational Technologies). This course was implemented a simple writing-to-learn design, i.e. students worked on concepts in this wiki
- The STIC:STIC_III 6-credit MALTT course, 2007/2008 edition is about Flash (All teaching materials are in this wiki)
- The 6 credit EIA course requires students to enter data about educational software (Logiciels de formation)
Credits
The module 7 team was: Daniel K. Schneider (eTeach-Net and module 7 project leader), and Stephane Lattion (left TECFA) and Kalliopi Benetos (became coordinator e-learning certificate). Roberto Ortelli (eTeach-Net coordinator) has left on Mai 2006.
