The eLBase1 project, funded by the E-Learning-Consortium Hamburg (ELCH), was carried out from 1 July 2008 to 15 November 2011 jointly by the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Humanities, and the Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Natural Sciences together with the Executive University Board of Universität Hamburg.

The goal of eLBase1 was to realize the sustainable integration of digital media into all core processes of studies and teaching at the participating faculties and thus effectively advance the implementation of the Universität Hamburg e-learning strategy formulated in 2006. E-learning offerings were to be integrated into curricula and examination regulations as a natural part of the student life cycle. The eLBase1 project served as an important catalyst for the integration of improved organizational and support structures for e-learning into studies at the participating faculties.

The measures implemented addressed the changes in the course of study accompanying the introduction of bachelor’s and master’s degree programs and contributed to securing the long-term attractiveness of Hamburg as a center for higher education.

The goal was to raise awareness among teaching staff and learners regarding the potential uses of information and communications technology (ICT) in studies and teaching at the faculty and thereby promote a natural approach to ICT.

To this end, innovative forms of instruction were supported and developed, community building was promoted, and suitable infrastructures were created. ePUSH thus covered all levels of action, from the organization of learning content, forms of learning, and learning communities to the organizational infrastructure.

The Beluga project (11/2007–10/2009), funded by the E-Learning-Consortium Hamburg, aimed to connect learning management systems such as OLAT, CommSy, or Moodle with library catalogs on a research platform so that information on books and other literature can be automatically exported to e-learning environments.

A further goal was to establish a service providing academic literature in electronic form: printed texts are digitized exclusively for individual courses upon request and made available in the desired learning environment. Additionally, the new research platform features several functionalities typical of Web 2.0.

KoOP stands for “Conceptualization and Implementation of Cross-University Organizational and Process Innovations for Digital Studying at Hamburg’s Higher Education Institutions.”

The collaborative project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research over two and a half years (2005–2007), aimed to effectively network, coordinate, and strengthen the resources and competencies available at Hamburg’s higher education institutions for digital studying (e-learning) on a cross-university basis in order to achieve a lasting improvement in quality and service for students and teaching staff.

Within the framework of KoOP, a holistic innovation strategy was pursued that takes technical, organizational, subject-cultural, and pedagogical aspects into account. Through the conceptualization and step-by-step implementation of innovative processes for the sustainable use and dissemination of e-learning, taking into account the necessary IT infrastructure, the goal was to make e-learning a natural offering in teaching and administration at Hamburg’s higher education institutions in the medium and long term.
