1. Coupling of Microsoft Office 365 with Tutoring Portal Helps Students Organize Their Learning
“Through the tie-in with the Microsoft account, we are broadening the learning calendar on kapiert.de and therefore supporting independent learning.” – Dr. Stephan Kyas, project leader, kapiert.de
SITUATION
The digitalization in the education sector requires strong cooperation. To achieve interoperability within the different systems and their components, interfaces are necessary. The interface must be able to support pupils in their academic organizations and develop their digital competencies. When introducing the kapiert.de learning calendar in the online portal, it became clear that collaborative working is the base of structured learning.
