Kursumsetzung (verwendete Medien):

Knowledge is primarily imparted through digital learning units, some of which are interactive and some of which are audio-based. The learning units contain text , illustrations, and audio tracks. The slides from the learning units are also available in PDF format. In addition, each learning unit includes a self-assessment test that students can use to check their learning progress independently.
In addition to the digital learning units, the course offers three case studies that students can work on. There is also a collection of frequently asked questions and four forums for exchange between students and between students and course instructors. Once a week, there is a synchronous online meeting (30 minutes) during which students can ask the course instructors questions.
