General Information

In our work we'll take a closer look at the «teleworking» course itself: we try to find out if there were structural problems in administration or organization, whether people knew what to do or not. Therefore it is essential that they had information available, not too much and available within a certain useful time.

But we will also examine the enthusiasm of all other students involved in the «teleworking» course - if there was any at all and how long it lasted. This seems to be of utmost importance since the different projects can or could only be successfully finalized with appropriate support.

Our three main elements are the following:

• Statistical report showing e-mail traffic of the mailing-list. So we can summarize how many people engaged themselves in the different groups.
• We will initiate a direct mail to each student asking him some questions about the «teleworking» course. If we receive enough reactions this is supposed to become our main topic.
• Finally, we try to get information about the experiences other Universities made with virtual courses like this one. Since Dominik is currently staying at the University of Indiana, we will most probably become an impression of comparable Projects at Indianapolis.
