Advice for Students

The choice of materials is geared to key concepts of Informatics and not in the first place to a certain lecture. If and to which extend the knowledge acquired in this context may be recognized as part of the college performance is therefore incumbent on the teachers. It does not replace any lectures, scripts or textbooks, but is applicable as a self-directed supplement. The tutorials mentioned in the introduction are suited to prepare for and go over single topics. The access via the list of media objects already requires previous knowledge. Thus it is chiefly suited for systematic post-processing of or preparation for specific topics from lectures.

Through choosing one of the components listed below you may receive examples for explanation of the functional range as well as descriptions about application possibilities of chosen group objects. According to the LOM Standard, group objects are the smallest possible teaching materials, here usually represented by a multi-media based element in connection with an embedding text.
