NEW LEARNING AHEAD – A target group-based approach for the use of learning management systems in the education of professionals for intermodal inland

Summary/Abstract: The use of Learning Management Systems (LMS) in educational institutions is a very common kind of e-learning. A reason for this can be found in the double function of LMS. Firstly, they are used for the transfer of content and secondly, for administrative concerns. LMS are convenient for educators; within one single system they are able to administrate their students and create learning material. However, learners need a well-designed course in LMS in terms of content transfer. The problem is that learner-oriented (target group-based) approaches are not prevalent in LMS-based course design. This is the motivation for the development of a learner-oriented approach in the use of Learning Management Systems. As further consequence it is planned to implement this approach in the project EWITA, which aims the development of e-learning platforms for intermodal inland waterway transport, where a lot of different target groups are involved.
