KoOP
KoOP stands for “Conceptualization and Implementation of Cross-University Organizational and Process Innovations for Digital Studying at Hamburg’s Higher Education Institutions.”
The collaborative project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research over two and a half years (2005–2007), aimed to effectively network, coordinate, and strengthen the resources and competencies available at Hamburg’s higher education institutions for digital studying (e-learning) on a cross-university basis in order to achieve a lasting improvement in quality and service for students and teaching staff.
Within the framework of KoOP, a holistic innovation strategy was pursued that takes technical, organizational, subject-cultural, and pedagogical aspects into account. Through the conceptualization and step-by-step implementation of innovative processes for the sustainable use and dissemination of e-learning, taking into account the necessary IT infrastructure, the goal was to make e-learning a natural offering in teaching and administration at Hamburg’s higher education institutions in the medium and long term.
