Astract: Lecture videos are slides enhanced with the audio recording of the lecturer's talk. Such lecture videos offer numerous advantages to the students as well as to the lecturers themselves. The former may organize their studies in a more flexible way by consuming the content of a lecture anytime and at any place as often as they want. The latter do not have to give the same lecture over and over again and may use the saved time for personal contact to the students. In this paper, we report on our experiences with using lecture videos in the course Introduction to Object-Oriented Modeling offered by the Business Informatics Group (BIG) at the Vienna University of Technology. We shortly review the structure of the course and discuss the creation and integration of the lecture videos. For the evaluation of this approach, we performed an online survey where the students could provide feedback. Parts of the results of this survey are discussed and included in the paper.

Astract: Approximately 1000 students of computer science and business informatics attend the course Introduction to Object- Oriented Modeling (OOM) offered by the Business Informatics Group (BIG) of the Vienna University of Technology each year in order to learn the basic concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and to obtain a certificate. For finishing the course successfully, the students must pass three small tests where they have to prove their theoretical knowledge about UML concepts as well as their ability to apply this knowledge in practical exercises. In this paper we report our experiences in assessing the modeling knowledge of our students and we reveal how we design the tests.

Astract: Am Institut für Softwaretechnik und Interaktive Systeme (IFS) der TU Wien wird seit 5 Semestern TUWEL , die Moodle-Adaptierung der Technischen Universität Wien, erfolgreich als Kommunikations- und Content Management System sowie als E-Learning Plattform eingesetzt. TUWEL erleichtert und unterstützt besonders die Abwicklung von sehr großen Lehrveranstaltungen. Im Folgenden geben wir einen Überblick über die Herausforderungen in der durch E-Learning Plattformen unterstützten Massenlehre und präsentieren anhand der Lehrveranstaltung "Einführung in die Objektorientierte Modellierung" (OOM) wie wir uns diesen Herausforderungen durch den Einsatz von TUWEL stellen.

Astract: In this paper, we report our experiences on teaching the Unifi ed Modeling Language in the large. More precisely, about 1000 computer science and business informatics students attend our course Object-Oriented Modeling each year. Requiring a profound understanding of the UML, many advanced courses like Software Engineering or Model Engineering build on the knowledge imparted by our course. In order to achieve our ambitious teaching targets, we establish personal mentoring despite the mass enhanced with e-learning facilities.
