OLAT Programme 2012
(30.01.2012) In support of our vision we have launched an extensive programme for 2012 which targets the teaching and learning needs of large education institutions. This programme includes simplified and integrated course structures and support for case based learning and e-Assessment. In addition there will also be a comprehensive reworking of the security and persistence frameworks. We are greatly encouraged by the level of support and enthusiasm for this programme already shown within the University of Zurich and we look forward to working together with contributors, educators and learning co-ordinators in delivering on our goals!
