The eTeach-Net Project

eTeach-Net was a joint http://www.virtualcampus.ch/[ 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: For example:

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: USI, SUPSI, UNISG, ETZ).
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: BFH
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: UniGE
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: FHNW

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.

-The major objective of the project is to develop reusable teaching modules about technical, pedagogical and didactic concepts of e-teaching. These modules will mainly be integrated into the curricula of postgraduate studies: For example a sequence of five modules will be part of a course for the International Engineering Educator Diploma (ING-PAED IGIP); another module will be integrated into a master course on Human Resources Management; a further module on virtual projects will be an integral part of a master degree in educational technologies.
-Some of the material will also be used for faculty development (in particular by partners from support structures). In order to enhance retention and transfer, some of the resources will also be set up and made available as follow-up of the courses.
