DEE: Digital Education Ecosystem

Project-ID: 57542858

The central component for the digitalisation of the Master School is the Digital Ecosystem for virtual, international teaching networks. This Digital Education Ecosystem (DEE) integrates all components for teaching & learning, content development and programme management processes.

This DEE enables cross-university processes instead of the previous process and media discontinuities at university borders. This enables teachers to offer their topics and competences to all partners of the network and students to automate the processes for an individualised student journey through the wide range of content and formats in the Master School. Moreover, teachers and students can choose between real and virtual mobility and thus adapt the international learning and teaching experience to their individual life and financial situation.

Part of ManDEE project.
