Converged services, integrated services and mixed teams have been created in the hope that the resulting structures will lead to effective collaboration. This is not as easy as it looks since library and IT staff come from different professions with distinct professional cultures. Organisational change can be one of the most stressful experiences both for the individuals involved and the institution as a whole. Without skilled and imaginative leadership, change management can lead to conflict and lack of collaboration even catastrophe!","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129323227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first claims that an asynchronous learning experience will always be inferior to a live, interactive session between the student and the educator. The second group will argue that students receive a wider range of opportunities if permitted to draw upon the experiences of multiple knowledge presenters along with the vast amount of information accessible through the web. These two attitudes are by no means mutually exclusive. By crossing the boundaries of time, location, language and culture, this project will be an experiment that demonstrates a merger of the two philosophies, resulting in a semisynchronous learning experience.","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125133071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are many theories and practices surrounding the subject of improving the learning experiences of people, in particular young people, and much of these focus on the aim for effective learning. Effective teaching, on the other hand, is itself an advanced skill. It is likely to involve the implementation of a balance of techniques and practices, applied within the environment of a one-to-one, or a one-to-many teacher learner relationship.

Within the framework of the Virtual Campus Switzerland Programme we started three projects in order to set up a virtual campus with strong local roots and with closed relationships to other universities of Switzerland and of the close foreign countries. The main objective of these activities is to expand the offer of modular courses, to make them available anytime and anywhere for more interested people and thus to set-up a life long learning platform for university graduates. Furthermore we attach great importance to the media didactic aspects, the multi-linguality (the support of some courses will be available in different languages), and the social integration of open distance education (e.g. the influence of ODL on family life). Last but not least the communication structure of university administration will be analysed so that we may optimally adapt it to the new reality.","PeriodicalId":169895,"journal":{"name":"European University Information Systems","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123350115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
