INTEGRATIVE AND CO-OPERATIVE TEACHING AND LEARNING SYSTEM BY USE OF NEW MEDIA IN SUPPLEMENTARY STUDIES ,,WATER AND ENVIRONMENT' AT THE BAUHAUS UNIVERSITY WEIMAR

摘要

The team supplementary study ,,Water and Environment" offers a postgraduate correspondence course with periods of attendance at the Bauhaus University Weimar. The focus is set on the connection of the current water and environment research with courses at hydraulic, hydraulic engineering, water resources and wastewater engineering, waste management., environment law, management and subject-related languages. The European unification requires a new approach to study courses and university degrees. This is taken;into consideration by aiming at full acceptance and compatibility in Europe. Formal aspects are concemed as well as contents and institutional processes and they are adjusted constantly by close contacts to administration and authorities. Correspondence courses, with their spatial separation of students from university, offer an ideal field of action for the use of new media in teaching water and environment subjects for engineers. The linking of acoustic, graphic and text information on an e-learning platform increases the interactivity and makes it possible to support the individual educational contents of the current water research. In addition to this the compiled teaching modules should be available modular as well as for research and so being reusable. For this purpose a data bank was built up for the special field of water and environment.
