Sustainable eLearning: developing strategies for reusability and interoperability of online courses

It is hard work to include reusability and interoperability considerations in online course design and production phases. In practice, such concerns tend to come out into view when replication of the course is needed. Strategies have to be developed accordingly, building upon existing material and technology. The proposed round-table will examine the strategies that were developed for an online course in mathematics: "Introduction to Information Theory and Applications", a project of the Swiss Virtual Campus, and discuss a number of questions related to problems of reusability that are still unanswered.
