On a multimedia expedition with SWITCH
Tele-learning, computer-aided teaching, electronic learning – e-learning has many names and faces. It is needed wherever people are engaged in learning or teaching interactively with the aid of digital media. Equally varied are the needs of university members. SWITCH has taken on the task of satisfying these needs.

Students can readily load the AAI-protected contents from the Internet as a podcast (offline), Quicktime (offline) or Flash (online) in a particularly high quality.
