Anhalt University
The Anhalt University (FH)
has become an important essential part between the other universities
of
Saxony-Anhalt since its
foundation on 1st October 1991. Temporarily more
than 6500 students study at
Anhalt University’s locations:
- Bernburg,
- Dessau and
- Köthen
Several research groups of Hochschule Anhalt (FH) / Anhalt
University of Applied Sciences have
their domicile in the new building of indigo
innovationspark bernburg- the so
called hexagonal annex.
Currently 3 research groups are
working here in
addition to the study subjects offered at the campus of
Strenzfeld.
Prof. Dr. Erich Buhmann, professor
of applied computer science in landscape architecture is
working here
with the research group Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA). He
is
also the head of this program of
study. The emphasis of the group’s works,
which are realised in the accommodations of
indigo-Park, is to be found in the
area of visualisation. Prof. Dr. Buhmann is also the head of the
research area
Landschaftsinformatik (computer sciences applied on the landscape) at
Anhalt
University (FH) for the indigo
innovationspark bernburg gmbh).
The research group of Mrs. Prof.
Dr. Margot Steinel, professor of economics related to households
at Anhalt
University (FH), department of agriculture, ecotrophology and
Landespflege (all
things related to landscape care) works in the
accommodations of indigo-Park on
several research projects related to private
households and big households.
Currently the emphasis of research lays in the area of quality
management and
cost management in domestically related service enterprises. The
research group
develops internet-based modules for further
education as well as
benchmarking-tools for this
purpose. These
tools shall give the enterprises the
opportunity to describe both the quality of their
services and the occurring
costs and to compare them each other in certain intervals of time.
A working group which covers
more than one department has been established in the area of
“Multimedia
methods in the apprenticeship” and coordinates the research work of all
3
locations of Anhalt
University. The contact persons are Prof. D. Norbert
Otto and Prof. Dr. Rainer Schlegel. The
working group aims at forcing the
usage of multimedia methods in the apprenticeship in all
departments
and
preparing the creation of a media centre at the university.
The following research
projects are currently worked on:
- creation of an education
portal for Anhalt University
- realisation
of the virtual
program of study “computer science” in collaboration with the
universities of
Merseburg and Wernigerode
- development of online-based
modules for the correspondence course of economical sciences
- provision of
a digital
archive of images as a medium for teaching and learning purposes in
history of
arts, archaeology, architecture and design
- design of internet-based
modules for the correspondence course of “Agriculture/Agrarmanagement”
(all
kinds of decisions involved into agriculture)
Further projects are in their
second phase of application.
The big multimedia lab in the
second floor of the hexagonal new building offers the possibilities for
the
following applications:
-
Playback of
multimedia
records from all important volumes (DVD, CD, VHS/SVHS, digital video,
Hi8, VGA,
magnetic tape cassette , Magnet Disc) while using standardised
presentation
techniques (Overhead, slide projector, visualizer, LCD-projectors,
Plasma
displays, electrical White-Board, device for audio conferences, dynamic
and
stationary video cameras).
-
Recording on
volumes (e.g.
VHS/SVHS, DVD, CD, digital Video et al.)
- Pre-productions as video
sequences for the production of videos, DVD-Authoring and the burning
of DVD.
The existent network
solutions for video over IP and the realisation of video conferences
are
continually adapted on the latest technical possibilities.
