• Introduction to the scientific work• Acquisition of soft skills Collaborative Writing of a scientific paper in form of a
Proceedings-Bands
Conceptual Solution – Didactical Model
• Independent and complete educational unit based on the model of VS in Germany
• Organisation of students in face 2 face group on campus• Remote supervisor (Diaspora Expert): responsible for the
knowlege transfer • Lokale supervisor : responsible for organisational
processes on Campus
Blended Learning Virtual Seminar
Goals

• Communication, Interaction, Evaluation, Participation, Supervision, Motivation, etc.
Conceptual Solution – Didactical Model
• Asynchronous Interaction betwween the remote experts and the stakeholders in campus
• Intra- und Intergroup regulation and control (Peer Review) based on templates with instructions
• Preparation of didactical template for the involved stakeholders (Guidelines, Example, instructions, etc)
• Evaluation based on students report • Stadardization and formalization of the processes

Conceptual Solution – Process Model, Instructional design
Instruction design: Systematic approach for the development, deployment, evaluation of computer supported learning /teaching interactions
Script: Specification of teaching and learning sequence in a didacical scenario
IMS LD Specification:• Level A: Data-model using on theater-Metaphor for the modeling
of educational process • Level B und C extend the Model with concepts as conditions,
Characteristics, Notification for the support of complex process • XML Schema
Archive, Instantiation und running off• Limited support of services

• User centered : Composition of services (online Widgets) of the learning environment by the user
Script + PLE = Script Based PLE
• Flexibility resp. Mobility of the user • Offline work (Desktop Widgets)
Rich Mobile Learning Environment
•Distributed Environment : Selection and composition of Services •Participatives Learning (Web 2.0)•“Light” Applications resp. Widgets for Services
