Mandates
In order to ensure that the Swiss Virtual Campus can develop within an
optimal environment, the program also supports a number of mandates,
which include
more general studies or investigations that address the infrastructure necessary
to support the program as a whole. These could deal with legal (copyright,
data protection, etc.), didactic and ergonomic topics, economic (cost effectiveness,
product marketing, etc.) or technical (edutech, etc.) questions or projects
connected with the necessary credits system and certification of qualifications.
New and ongoing mandates:
 Mandate “Guide des bonnes pratiques”
1. September 2006 - 31.October 2007
Prof. Dr. Maia Wentland, University of Lausanne, Vice-president Steering Committee SVC
The Swiss Virtual Campus Program will come to an end in December 2007. As a contribution to ensuring sustainability and facilitating the integration of e-learning modules in ad hoc curricula, a guide of good e-learning practices is proposed for use by the SVC Community.
A survey, that will allow for an up-to-date comparison of actual practices, will be mainly conducted in North America, Canada and France but it will also integrate information coming from UK, Germany and perhaps Australia. Recommendations will be made that are based on the “best-of” of what is being done both in academic and industrial contexts and adapted to the local Swiss situation.

The mandate would strengthen collaboration between Swiss universities and would
make use of the wide range of expertise with ICT impact evaluation which already
exists
within the SVC and at other institutions.
The SVC will be provided with an instrument which is based on this expertise
and which can be applied to SVC program and project evaluations.
Sustainable Implementation of eLearning
Dr. Sabine Seufert, Prof. Dr. Dieter Euler
Swiss Centre for Innovations in Learning SCIL - www.scil.ch/
University of St. Gallen.
The Steering Committee SVC mandated SCIL at the end of 2005 in order to get advices for the conception of a future « Swiss Virtual Campus ». Next to the experiences and rapports which will be transmitted to SCIL by the SVC, the work of the mandate – and consequently the potential conception of the eLearning-initiatives after 2007 – will mostly relay on the experiences and the inputs of the SVC Community.

Finished mandates:
CritiQuest (RISET): Le
mandat "CritiQuest" a été soutenu dans le cadre du
Campus Virtuel Suisse et réalisé par le CCSP de l'Université de
Lausanne, RISET - Réseau Interfacultaire
de Soutien Enseignement et Technologies.
Ce guide sera sans aucun doute un
précieux outil de travail - d'usage quotidien - pour les chefs de projets
et/ou les enseignants impliqués dans la conception et la gestion de
projets de cours en ligne. Il se compose de différentes fiches d'aide
et de suivi des décisions devant accompagner les différentes
phases et étapes d'un projet eLearning.
L'utilité et l'intérêt
de ce guide se manifesteront par la possibilité qu'il offre de:
- soutenir
la réflexion et à la décision tout au long du projet,
- conserver un historique des raisonnements et choix intervenant dans les
diverses dimensions du projet (pédagogique, technologique, académique,
managériale, etc.),
- identifier les oublis et diagnostiquer les problèmes à régler
et de - visualiser l’enchaînement des étapes.
