The Swiss Daily Newspaper “Tages Anzeiger” and the TV news on SRF 1 features an article about our regular assessment course Informatik für Ökonomen 1 (see also video), which will be available via Coursera this term. This course, taught by Abraham Bernstein marks the first massive open online course (MOOC) course taught in the German speaking part of Switzerland. We decided to offer this course via a MOOC because we believe that it is one of the main tasks of Universities to share knowledge — both to our own students and the general public.

The television show in Swiss TV news can be found online.
