Summary: The aim of the project CUBER was to build an adaptive high-precision information system for information technology (IT) courses of European universities. Special emphasis was placed on distance learning courses and other methods of "just-in-time and just-in-place learning". However, the perspective of the CUBER approach goes beyond the partners or the present consortium and beyond the domain of IT courses. It also includes, among others:
- Supporting the search for higher education courses matching specific needs of users
- Making courses comparable through standardized meta-data descriptions
- Combining courses from heterogeneous sources to coherent packages
- Building the grounds for a Federated European Virtual University
