TuBI stands for a virtual seminar concerning the design of text and pictures in the Internet. The participants get to know theoretical knowledge and practical competencies in designing convincing web-pages and furthermore in planning didactically wise concepts for learning texts in the Internet.
The instructional concept bases on the principles of problem oriented learning and the Cognitive Apprenticeship Approach. In the net-based learning environment "TuBI" applicable knowledge is taught by means of authentic problems and multimedia anchors. Various electronic communication tools are offered to the participants to foster their virtual cooperation.
The curriculum was developed after a critical reflection of already existing virtual seminar-concepts and therefore offers an instructional support that explicitly responds to the specific features that learning in a virtual space comes with.
