OpenOLAT courses enable the mapping of various event formats e.g. lectures, seminars, online tutorials or group puzzles, as well as the implementation of different types of learning, e.g. problem-based learning, cooperative learning, self-organized learning etc. A maximum of flexibility is guaranteed by using any number of course elements in any order of your choice; therefore it is easy to realize your didactic concept.

Note: Before you create your OpenOLAT course:
First think about how your course should be structured. What the course looks like depends on your didactic concept, the goals and the overall framework. Then prepare your learning content and other files (HTML pages, PDF files, CPs, etc.). for use in the learning platform. Select the optimal and most effective course elements and try to bundle things that belong together in a meaningful way in order to achieve optimal usability.
