En savoir plus sur le livre

The interactive online educational platform openHPI, from Hasso Plattner Institute (HPI), offers free courses in information technology and computer science. Launched in 2011, it follows the model of "Massive Open Online Courses" (MOOCs) that began at elite U.S. universities. openHPI provides instructional videos, supplementary reading materials, self-tests, homework, and a social discussion forum, fostering a virtual learning community. Unlike traditional lecture platforms that offer recorded lectures on demand, openHPI features structured online courses with fixed start dates and a six-week schedule of multimedia and interactive content. Each week focuses on a specific chapter, with participants receiving learning videos, texts, self-tests, and exercises at the start. The platform encourages interaction through a discussion forum, allowing participants to engage with instructors and peers, ask questions, and delve deeper into topics. Learners can contribute to the course through blog posts or tweets, facilitating discussion and collaboration. This approach transforms participants into active contributors, linking the educational experience to a social learning network.
