Open Educational Resources for digital international teaching

Please feel free to use the Open Educational Resources (OER) created within the Digital Mobil project, which can be downloaded below. The self-study courses “Intercultural Competence” and "Virtual Collaboration" (German/English) are also available in the public space of our learning management system ILIAS. On Github, you find four lectures published as OER: Artificial Intelligence (Bachelor), Coding Methods (Bachelor), Compiler Construction (Bachelor) and Concepts of Programming Languages (Master).

If you are completely new to Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and Virtual Exchange (VE), also have a look at the following external ressources: a VE training, a VE task database and a COIL handbook for course development.
