Description
The EDEMTET e-Campus is an open online learning and research environment. It will contain the project spaces and the learning spaces during and after the project. Functions of the system are:
(1) distribution of the open online course content;
(2) intercultural learning space for students;
(3) intercultural learning space for teachers;
(4) shared workspace for the students (exchange and social corner),
(5) shared workspace for the content production taskforce,
(6) shared workspace for the project board
(7) shared workspace for the research & evaluation taskforce,
(8) data collection and learning analytics tool,
(9) project website.
Further, the system offers tools for a variety of online didactical formats, online surveys, evaluation questionnaires, video conferencing. For the functions mentioned above relevant software will be sought and used, and expanded with special modules for Learning Analytics and custom queries and reports for research purposes. Navigation controls and user interface are available in English and Chinese. From the dissemination phase and on, more languages can be added at request. The system will be mainly set up by WHU and an external contractor.

Set up of shared work- and learning spaces.
In the eCampus system shared workspaces and shared learning spaces will be used. This activity is about setting up the basic structures for the spaces, including tools. The shared workspaces are the project board workspace, educational production workspace, teacher training workspace, research and evaluation workspace. Learning spaces will be created for each course module that will be produced, as well as some test spaces.
During the project, the spaces will be adapted to developing needs and filled with content and deliverables.

Work package outcome 2.4
Set up of shared format for content production, set up of educational templates, custom queries and reports
In order to be able to use the course modules that are created in this project within the curricula of the partners, a shared format needs to be designed which best fits development of accredited course modules. Course templates fitting the specific learning philosophy of the project that are designed in 3.3, will be implemented in online operational course templates, patient case templates, treatment plan templates, feedback/ evaluation templates and assessment templates. Revision of these templates on basis of review and evaluation results is carried out later in the project. In addition to standard functionalities of the questionnaire and survey tools in the e-campus system, a number of custom queries and custom reports are developed. These will be specified during the project and implemented technically by the external contractor.

Implementation of the infrastructure and tools for data collection and learning analytics
In the eCampus system, data about the learner, learning outcomes and learning process are recorded in the database. – Accumulating data facilitate learning analytics. This means that not only the professional knowledge, application of knowledge and the individual learning pathway of students, but also the learning supervision/ teaching process (the learning pathway of teachers) can be monitored, evaluated and improved. This activity is about setting up the Learning Analytics tools to the best fit with the eCampus system and the educational strategy.
