1. Description of the Project Seminar

In this project seminar a case study on an economic topic will be examined in connection with aspects of the “Net Economy”. The foundation of this will be built upon different Aspects of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0. Attendance is in cooperation with students from other German and international universities (in the preceding terms i.a. Freie Universität Berlin, Tongji University Shanghai, Marmara University Istanbul, Ruhr Universität Bochum and Technische Universität Dresden). The participating students from the various universities will be mixed together into international groups.

The project will be conducted in English.

The central coordination platform for the project is a Social Community within which the participants can create individual skill profiles which they use to apply to the groups. In connection to this team building phase, each group will lead and design a concrete project to improve the existing procedures of an imitation company, focusing particularly on the use of different aspects of Web 2.0 tools, principles and applications. The finished project will eventually be shown to the other participants during a final presentation event. All work is conducted online, with the help of Web 2.0 applications such as Google Sites, Google Docs or Blogs.

Teaching Assistants will support groups with the implementation of their projects and are always available for contact during the course of the project. During this time students will receive insights into recent developments within the area of Information and Communications Technologies and their use for economic issues. The international character of the project allows for practical experience from different countries to be collected via the use of E-Learning and contact with students from other, in particular international, universities to be made.
