E-Learning
At Freie Universitaet we believe that e-learning can enrich and enhance academic face-to-face education.

In cooperation with the university departments, the e-learning competence center aims at promoting multimedia teaching and learning methods to establish e-learning as common and integral part of academic instruction.
CeDiS provides web solutions for teaching and learning, and renders support, training, and consultancy services ranging from phone support for the central learning management system (LMS) to a wide range of trainings, and finally to comprehensive individual consulting. Furthermore, CeDiS manages the university board’s e-learning development scheme.
