The Business IT (BIT) Integrated Infocomm Project (IIP)

The Integrated Infocomm Project (IIP) is an initiative by the Business Information Technology (BIT) department in the School of Business and Accountancy (BA). The IIP is designed around real life settings, borne of actual experience, of a commercial firm’s effort to pull together different IT-based applications and related management issues to arrive at an integrated IT system.

Service Learning: from Curriculum to Volunteerism

LEARNING AND SERVING can go well side-by-side. That's what some final-year students from the School of Business & Accountancy (BA) realized towards the end of a five-month project for an inter-disciplinary module, "Creating a Multimedia Presentation" (CMP).

Man & Machine

"One student who did not manage to enroll into the module in time, said that the module was so popular that it was quickly taken by students half an hour after the web enrolment started." Find out why The Man and Machines module offered by the Electronic and Computer Engineering Division is so popular!

More than Construction Work

"We need to take them out of their comfort zone, learn about the country they are going to, the geography of the country, the recent history, the people, the economy, and the future. Then bring them there, to live with the locals, to play with them, to eat with them, to work with them, to dream with them, to cry with them."

Design for Learning Conversations

"In collaborative learning students independently develop knowledge in interaction with peers, and use this knowledge to solve problems. To this end, Learning Lab develops tools and studies the use of these tools." Dr.C.Frans.M.Ronteltap heads the Learning Lab at the University of Maastricht, where the POLARIS tool has been developed.
