  11. From model project to i3s3 University of Linz Institute for Applied Computer Science Computer Science for the Blind • model project 1991 - 1994 • department 1994 - 2000 • institute since June 2000 Interuniversitäres Institut für Informationssysteme zur Unterstützung Sehgeschädigter Studierender i3s3

  12. WHY i3s3 University of Linz Institute for Applied Computer Science Computer Science for the Blind • model project 1991 – 1994 • number of students • competition to get versus getting rid of students • need to be successful - over-protection • autonomous universities and budget criteria • high investments and running costs • intensive need for education in special areas • smooth the transition from and to universities • changes in disciplines: methods of teaching, media, technology – need for R&T and training • co-operation with authors, publishers • ongoing training of support staff • efficient use of restricted resources
