The key promoter of the project is Bau-ABC in Rostrup, Bad Zwischenahn (the intermediate training centre of the North-German building and construction industries). The context for pilot activities is the recently reformed training for certified construction site managers (Geprüfte Polier). The pilot activities include the introduction of new media and tools in the intensive course period (in the beginning of the training) as well as the problem- and project-based learning phase (after that period). In this context the project supports the guest trainers (lecturers) in their efforts to link the subject-based contents to the integrated learning tasks and projects of the participants. At the same time the project supports sharing of knowledge and experience among the participants.
In addition to the Bau-ABC, also regional software service providers (Targis and Embeteco, Oldenburg) are involved in the project. The role of ITB, as responsible for accompanying research activities, is to study the learning contexts, to participate in curriculum development and to carry out evaluation measures. Currently Dr Ludger Deitmer, Dr Lars Heinemann and Christian Staden are working in the ITB project team.
