modules) as well as the development and realisation of an adapted concept
for the management of all types of documents. This concept shall, with
hindsight on the administration of users and rights, be integrated into the
existing portal-system with its identity-mamagement and be aligned with
the requirements of an university-wide information management. Together
with this, the requirement will especially be taken into account, that nonmembers
of the university (members of other universities, alumni, extern
user-groups) will be certified to have access to certain documents, which
requires the implementation of a respective management of roles and rights.
This is especially inevitable with regard on a marketing of teachingmodules
within a programme for furhter education. At the same time, the
striven-for „Information Management System“ is intended to make possible
the integration of e-learning-platforms and authoring systems via standardised
interfaces and without fixing or prescription of specific products for
the drawing-up of content. Independent of the tools for media-production in
use, the necessary procedures organizing the processing, provision, updating,
announcment and researchability of available digital media are planned
to be promoted and optimized. The support of the teaching is, however,
also intended to stretch to the organisational procedures in the field of curricular
organisation, meaning first and foremost all occupations concerning
conducting exams and exam-relevant evaluations, that, at the present point
of time, are not yet completely delivered as decentralised, IT-based services
within the faculties, still leading to a large number of redundant databases
and medial discontinuities. Especially concerning the establishment of the
Bachelor- and Master-curricula, that are going to substitute the previous
curricula until 2010 according to the „Bologna-Process“, the administrational
procedures are to be additionally adapted in order to enable an automatised
comparison of data between event- and exam-related data. The
central identity management, aiming towards the authentification of the
portal-users up to now, has to be extended, as a consequence, in regard of
the authorizing of users as well as in relation to the permanent updating of
its profile data.
A substantial point of criticism of the previous use of the New Media
was the poor sustainability that could be noticed in practice: The measures
usually funded only locally by project-bound budgets led to the establishment
of prototypes and varieties of isolated, small-scale solutions, each of
them constituting throughout appealing and innovative solutions, but hardly
