Innovative Contributions Interdisciplinarity
and Cooperation
Interdisciplinarity and Cooperation are well
adapted to e-learning

• A apprenticeship based on the resolution of
  problems (learning by doing)
• Teaching Teams (a training community)
• Creation of a common ground between the partners

4
SUPPREM in 2005

• 6 Partners (University of Geneva (Leading House),
  University of Bern, University of Basle, Swiss
  Italian University, University of Lausanne,
  UNCTAD)
• About 20 Institutions (Departments, Centres,
  Institutes)
• About 30 Professors and Assistants
• About 500 students during the academic year
  2004-2005
• About 30 modules (bricks) representing 40 ECTS
  (European Credit Transfer System)

5
SUPPREM a Modular System
Modularity and flexibility are provided by

• The organisation of contents (RCO) structured by
  a data base managed outside the platforms
• The SUPPREM course portal (especially developed
  in the framework of the project) allows one to
  join one or several modules in order to create a
  course
• The use of the SCORM standard permits a larger
  choice of platforms

6
SUPPREM a Blended-Learning Approach

• In some cases, the modules are offered 100
  online, but in most cases, the percentage is
  variable (between 30 and 70). The actual trend
  is to favour  blended learning  for pedagogical
  and social acceptance reasons
• On the whole, we estimate the reduction up to 50
  in some sectors
• The SUPPREM system permits a variety of distance
  training modes e-Sessions, e-Courses
  (synchronous or asynchronous), Webcasting, etc.
