Blended Learning in Hydrology

31 August – 3 September 2015, RWTH Aachen, Germany

In cooperation with the UNESCO Chair in Hydrological Change and Water Resources Management in Aachen, our Centre organised a four-day course on Integrated Learning. Integrated Learning combines the advantages of E-Learning and classroom-based training.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heribert Nacken and Dr. Johannes Cullmann with participants of the Summer School at RWTH Aachen

In small groups, theoretical and practical knowledge was taught and implemented on creating Blended-Learning scenarios, E-lectures, audio and video slidecasts, exams as well as smartphone and tablet applications, using the MOODLE learning platform.

The course has been designed for water experts and teachers working in the water sector. Main objectives of the course included providing theoretical knowledge on Integrated Learning, its advantages and limitations, and offering practical training in the field of designing and managing Integrated Learning courses.
