Connecting the Future    (link to VideoImpression of Project)

A short while ago a pilot IT project for Euhofa officially started, entitled “The virtual classroom”. The project will be presented at the Euhofa Conference in Lausanne under the title “Connecting the future” and it aims to give the members an idea of the goals to be achieved.

Some of the goals of this project are:

• to show a virtual classroom
• to exchange information between management, teachers and students
• to promote working together in developing curricula
• to illustrate how video conferencing can be used
• to show how students from different locations can work together on the same assignments

Next year these results – and hopefully more - will be presented to the Euhofa Board. By then documentation about organisation, costs, equipment and so on should be available.

The following hotel schools are working together on this project:

• Haaga University of Applied Sciences (Helsinki - Finland)
• Copenhagen Hospitality College (Copenhagen - Denmark)
• de Mondriaan onderwijsgroep (The Hague - The Netherlands)
