Learning Portal RWG

Richard-Wagner-Gymnasium Bayreuth has created its first own virtual learning environment. We now use the Dokeos platform (http://plattform.rwg-bayreuth.de) to exchange information, dates, documents, pictures and other useful things among teachers and also between teachers and pupils. Various teachers have created a course. There are already 8 language courses, 2 ICT courses and one maths course. A lot of important documents for teachers have been uploaded, so that they can download these documents at home. This is very comfortable. But of course it will take some time to develop the platform, it has just been a beginning. We hope the other project partners will follow our example and report about what is going on at their school.
