"Learning Infrastructure" for efficient working, learning and teaching
Better e-assessment systems, long-term and secure data management, a multi-functional personal learning and working environment: if only that existed, the daily life of members of universities would significantly improve. In the "Learning Infrastructure" project, SWITCH is looking for solutions along with twelve universities.
Wanted: universal, innovative concepts
In selecting suitable e-learning products and application scenarios for lecturers and students, each Swiss university more or less has to fend for itself today. This often results in concepts that may well be workable but are, however, neither always suitable for universal use nor efficient. That is now set to change: with the "Learning Infrastructure" cooperative project, part of the "Information scientifique: accès, traitement et sauvegarde" project initiated by the Rectors' Conference of the Swiss Universities.
Practical testing in 2013
Under SWITCH's project leadership, university specialists are developing practical solutions by the end of 2013 that will improve learning, working and teaching in the university environment. In 24 different work packages, the principal topics are "modern learning and working environment" as well as "e-assessment", and SWITCH is also contributing substantively to them. The fruit of this work is going to be presented publically after completion of the project.
