The journalism and media studies institutes and specialized departments of Zurich, Bern, Fribourg and Lugano Universities and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences Winterthur want to jointly set up a digital repository of high-quality teaching and learning materials. These will provide students with an introduction to the subject, and constitute highly effective teaching tools for lecturers in an e-learning environment.

The repository will consist of the following elements: 1. self-study units which introduce users to core areas of the subject and to scientific methods; 2. case studies enabling students to develop their problem-solving abilities; 3. tools for self-assessment and external evaluation which can be used by lecturers for both frontal and online teaching, and facilitate active learning and communication on the part of students; 4. quality assurance tools which help lecturers to make e-learning an enriching and rewarding experience.

The learning materials will be integrated as a compulsory part of the curricula of participating institutions of higher education. The repository is compatible with the Bologna Reform and the European Credit Transfer System ECTS.
