While browsing Julika Mimke’s webpage, I also read about the “ENGINe” project and I remembered that Isabell Schaffer, who also attended the SCOOP workshop in August, had already told me about that project and I wanted to get back with her about it.
According to Isabell Schaffer, ENGINe aims at developing a tool, which supports the communication and collaborations of creators of eLearning content. The project is an extension of the “Physik multimedial” (pmm) project, which created a learning platform for physics.
pmm provides a course and assignment management system, a media base, the “Linklistendatenbank (LiLi)”, self-learning units and information on didactics in physics. The system is used by university as well as highschool students and teachers. The Institute for Science Networking Oldenburg (ISN) provided the server, developed LiLi and the self-learning units. The ENGINe project addresses the support, maintenance, and extension of pmm, which has already been used by the University of Oldenburg, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Rostock, Greifswald, and the FHOOW Emden as well as some highschools.
