ATLANTIS teaching network
The purpose of the ATLANTIS educational network is the cross-university exchange of courses (exchange ring). Courses are defined as computer-based training, web-based training or teaching content from which these can be developed.
Organizational goals
- Increasing the attractiveness of Bachelor's education in WI in Lower Saxony by expanding the number of courses that can be taken at the participating locations.
- Increased competitiveness in research and in the acquisition of third-party funding through
- stronger focus of the partners in the network on their core competencies in teaching (cross-location division of labor) in order to achieve better synergies and gain time for research.
- More efficient teaching, which results from a reduction in the variety of courses offered by a partner at one location, while at the same time increasing the number of participants in courses by students from other locations. This allows the partners to focus more strongly on their core competencies.
- Diffusion of the technologies developed in ELAN I and II, the know-how (tools for media development, learning management systems, video conferencing technology, etc.) and the content between the locations, especially to partners who were not yet involved in ELAN I or II.
- Making teaching more flexible at all locations, as students can study the courses introduced independently of the usual semester cycles.
Didactic goals
- Improved clarity of abstract application systems in business and administration, as taught in the introductory courses to SII of all partners, through integrated electronic media (recordings of typical work processes with applications of industrial production and service management).
- Improving the vocational quality of training through blended-learning scenarios that promote problem-based learning on the basis of constructivist learning theory.
- Utilization of achieved synergies, improved efficiency and the effects of a larger target group for high-quality electronic materials.
- Teaching the use of new media as a key qualification early on in the Bachelor's degree course in an application-oriented manner.

Prerequisites
Basic lectures in Computer Science / Information Systems
Learning objectives
The aim of the module is to consolidate, deepen and practice the content taught in the courses Fundamentals of Information Systems and Information Systems/ Information Management.
Brief description
Production-oriented Information Systems deals primarily with production planning and production control under the influence of work planning, incorporating current scientific and practice-oriented points of discussion in Information Systems. However, this subject area also deals with the classic problem areas of industrial production. In this context, the course deals with the use of information systems in the production area of industrial companies.
The business processes of order processing (PPS/ERP systems) and product development (CAx systems) will be given priority.
Practical examples and demos illustrate the use of such systems.

Prerequisites
Basic lectures in Computer Science / Information Systems
Learning objectives/brief description
The lecture deals with basic application system types and their specifics for the service industry as well as IT-supported solutions for special problems in the banking, insurance, media and tourism industries. Examples include IT applications in credit risk management, payment transactions and securities business in credit institutions, workflow and accounting systems in the insurance industry, content management systems in media companies and travel booking systems in airlines. Methodologically, students should understand, systematize, classify, evaluate and design the special features of information processing in service companies.
In addition, they will learn how exemplary IT architectures are designed in this area, how typical processes are supported (e.g. workflows, document management, consulting support, multi-channel sales) and how market forms (electronic trading systems) are mapped. Necessary methods are also explained.
The online exercise consists of several case studies to be worked on in exercise groups. The case studies describe problems and processes from the operational reality in the industries shown, for which conceptual solutions for IT support must be developed independently.

Basic lectures in Computer Science / Information Systems
Learning objectives
Students should understand in detail that mobile business partly complies with the rules and principles of e-business, but must also be considered independently of it. A separate consideration is necessary, for example, when it comes to the device-dependent limitations of smartphones, feature phones or WLAN-capable PDAs or when location-based services can be used on the basis of GPS positioning. In the lecture, all technical basics (devices, networks), possible services and applications and business models (today and in the future) will be presented and discussed.

Prerequisites
Basic lectures in Computer Science / Information Systems
Learning Objectives
The aim of the course is to provide a classification of business intelligence in the area of decision support in the business environment and to provide a basic understanding of data warehousing and data mining.
Brief description
In this course, the data-driven approaches of business intelligence are first contrasted with the current paradigms for solving operational decision-making problems.
A representative selection of methods that follow the common paradigms will be presented.
The focus of the event will then be on business intelligence methods.
In the area of data warehousing, the focus is on OLAP approaches, data warehouse modeling, ETL processes and metadata.
Building on this, an introduction to data mining is given and some DM methods are presented.

Prerequisites
Basic lectures in Information Systems; prior knowledge of process and organizational structure
Learning objectives
After completing the course, you will know the basic terms and concepts of process management, you will be able to model processes using eEPK and BPMN, you will know methods of quality and change management and be able to use them to assess the quality of process management, you will have meta-cognitive knowledge to recognize, appropriately represent and analyze processes.
Brief description
The Business Process Management course imparts the fundamental specialist knowledge required for the successful design of processes in companies. In the course, processes are first fundamentally defined and the necessity of process organization is explained. Furthermore, students learn about important modeling methods that can be used to map processes. Building on the process design, the implementation is described as well as the necessary quality and change management. In the lesson on process controlling, the most important key performance indicators are presented. Finally, processes in service companies and their special features are discussed in particular.

Brief description
The project management course teaches the basic specialist knowledge required to initiate, plan, control and complete projects. The course does not focus solely on the tasks of the project manager, but also includes aspects of company-wide project management (multi-project, program and portfolio management). The selection of content is based on the "Project Manager" standard of the German Association for Project Management (GPM). Theoretical principles are also discussed.
