The course „Internet- and Project-Competence“ has been designed to bring students to carry out real projects and to develop their communication-skills in order to enhance the flow of information between young people world wide. Within one semester, the students will
- create an online community with international partners and search for information
- carry out their projects (often combined with an excursion)
- present the results of their projects on a website
The main objective of IPC is to make students carry out projects collectively and to communicate with each other in order to produce knowledge. This meta-objective can be split up into the following items:
- Capacity for teamwork
- Capacity to resolve conflicts
- Patience and perseverance
- Planning skills
- Communicative competence
- Initiative
- Web 2.0 literacy

Phase 1
- Choice of a topic/country and formation of an online community
- Drafting a thesis, developing a research design (questionnaires, interviews)
- Preparation of the excursion/investigation
Phase 2
- Students carry out projects, prove/disprove the validity of their thesis,
- upload of the results in a self-created website,
- and present their website to the public.
