CUBER

Project: CUBER- Curriculum Builder for a Federated Virtual University of the Europe of Regions

Duration: 1 April 2000 - 30 September 2002

Coordinator: Fernuniversität Hagen (DE)

Partners: CNED Centre National d'Enseignement à Distance (FR), University of Helsinki (FI), Universitat Oberta de Catalunya UOC (ES), Universität Linz (AU), European Association of Distance Teaching Universities EADTU (NL), Stiftung Fernstudien Schweiz (Suisse), EuroPACE 2000 (BE), Symbia Ltd. (UK), Université de Poitiers (FR).

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
