Identity Management Solutions in Heterogeneous Learning Environments

The successful implementation of eLearning strategies is considered a major goal of German higher education institutions (HEIs). This goal includes an organisational concept of eLearning, as well as eLearning’s technical integration into the existing information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructures. In the context of two main research projects, we at Technische Universität München (TUM) have developed user-customizable, technologically enhanced learning environments for different user groups of varying interests, preferences and expertise. Based on this research work in elecTUM (http://www.tum.de/electum) and ZePeLin (http://www.zepelin.org) we propose suitable identity management solutions corresponding to heterogeneous learning scenarios.
