Best practice: massive online courses at the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg

Abstract

The limits of digital teaching in the academic education and training are today in times of MOOCs, not only set to the own university. At the BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg in the project “ECO-Campus” different digitization concepts were developed. The Project is supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The goal of the project is to share university content on sustainability with international partner universities and to establish the subject especially in the curricula of courses which traditionally pay little attention to sustainability concepts. The Eco Campus platform forms the link between the students and these materials. Due to the high number of international students, who use the newly created and customized Moodle instance, there is a high degree of heterogeneity.
