Deelprojecten 1 & 3 : bevindingen Completed didactical structure and learning content Improved and fully operational DLC’s Faculty PR & recruitment according to plan Participants from all over the world Individual hands-on Adobe Connect Pro training for students Comprehensible DLC user manuals Course duration of 8 weeks provides sufficient flexibility Course coordinators and students are satisfied regarding learning content, didactical structure and technical gear Specific questionnaire sets and data analysis for evaluation • Not all students dispose of high speed internet access • Students participation is sometimes too flexible • As long as DLC’s will be offered for free, students miss an extra incentive to complete the course and graduate

9. Deelproject 2 : bevindingen Completed didactical structure and learning content Fully operational HLC Inter-university collaboration with Bilkent University Ankara Joint video conference lecture sessions with Bilkent University Comprehensible HLC user manuals Course coordinators and students are satisfied regarding learning content, didactical structure and technical gear Specific questionnaire sets and data analysis for evaluation • Further attuning both course schedules from Maastricht and Bilkent University should be considered • Fully joint course requires extra efforts from both universities
