CeDiS Projects: Comprehensive Multimedia Expertise – More Than 10 years in E-Learning
Since the 1990s CeDiS has been committed to electronic lifelong learning using PCs, software, and the internet to render individual, creative, and time-independent learning processes possible.
With 15 years of experience in designing and producing eductional multimedia content, CeDiS is Freie Universität’s competence center for e-learning, content management, web2.0, open access, audiovisual media, and design. We render related services to all university departments and institutions but also continue to work on independent projects - mainly funded by third parties - in cooperation with university as well as external partners. The university steering board has entrusted CeDiS with further tasks as e.g. developing the university’s Corporate Design.
