E-Learning - as simple as the ABC 5 years of Multimedia Learning at the Institute of Electrical Power Systems at the University of Technology Graz: concept & didactics, innovative methods & tools, progress & future

The following paper reviews the previous and current progresses in the field of e-learning at the Institute of Electrical Power Systems (IFEA) of the University of Technology Graz/Austria (TU Graz). A brand new e-learning course system - the ABC-system that follows international experiences in the field of e-Learning - is presented. It recommends a way of generating online and offline courses from the very beginning of collecting multimedia content like a sound file of a load profile made heard by the method of sonification up to the final classroom session. Therefore helpful tools like the IFEA viewer and the ABC-layout have been developed. Furthermore a short abstract about the national and international cooperation IFEA holds in this specific subject is presented
