FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TOWARDS THE COLLECTIVE

The first classes under the new Bologna program were taught at the University of Zagreb in the 2005-2006 academic year. That same year, we launched the e-learning system with Moodle LMS (at the Faculty of Geodesy) and Virtual Sharepoint (at the Faculty of Architecture). At the same time, the University E-learning Support Center was established. It provides the main support for harmonizing the implementation of information and communications technology (ICT) in university teaching. In 2009, the University Senate passed a resolution to facilitate the recognition of e-learning levels. This document proposes three such levels, each defined by its purpose, scope and method of applying ICT in teaching. We would like to emphasize that we introduced elements of e-learning into our courses much earlier than 2005. We quickly achieved the first e- learning level and we are presently fulfilling the requirements of the second level. At the same time, the higher percentage of students who have passed our exams, and their positive and encouraging comments in student surveys, have prompted us to go even further. The project "Introducing 3D Modeling into Geometry Education at Technical Colleges (3D GEOM TECH)” has thus begun. It brought together four university faculties: the Faculty of Architecture, the Faculty of Civil Engineering, the Faculty of Geodesy and the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum. Our goal was to enhance the collaboration between the teachers of mathematics/geometry courses, and to improve teaching methodologies and harmonize the standards of educational materials for their further implementation in the e-learning systems. The project was approved as a development project and supported by the Fund for the Development of the University, University of Zagreb, for the 2011-2012 academic year. We have made an effort to compile our educational materials to make them available to students and other users interested in a particular content. The materials have been gathered in a common basic repository. It is the first such repository in university and polytechnic centers in Croatia. At the 17TH SEFI MWG Seminar we would like to present parts of our individual teaching content and to describe their transformation from an individual into a collective one.
