The headquarters for teaching media on the Internet e. V. (short ZUM or ZUM.de ) is a non-profit association based in Merzhausen near Freiburg im Breisgau , which was founded on September 11, 1997. He has set himself the goal of using and designing the Internet as a learning and teaching aid for all types of schools and for extracurricular educational work in German-speaking countries. The offer of the ZUM today includes, in addition to an area with HTML pages, numerous wikis and other special offers.
Even if the ZUM sees itself primarily as an initiative by teachers for teachers, in principle any interested person can participate.
history
The grammar school teacher Margit Fischbach first created a website in 1995 with the title “The WWW as a learning and teaching aid”, which quickly developed into a portal for all school types and federal states. In 1997, the portal provided the basis for the foundation of the non-profit association “Zentrale für Lehrsmedien im Internet e. V. ", which is represented in the entire German-speaking area.
"The WWW as a learning and teaching aid" was an almost unrivaled offer for the school sector until state education servers were set up in the federal states. Some parts of the classic FTP -ZUM are still very popular today as a source of information or as a download option for teaching material. One example is the dwu materials for mathematics and physics.
ZUM projects
ZUM-Wiki and Elementary School Wiki
The association reacted to the improved availability of the Internet in schools and private households and the increased bandwidths for online learning at the end of 2004 with the ZUM-Wiki and in March 2006 with the ZUM-Grundschulwiki . The primary school network project was funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media and the “A Network for Children” initiative supported by the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth.
The ZUM-Wiki was awarded the OER Award 2016 at the OER Festival 2016.
ZUM wiki family
With the ZUM Wiki Family , a free service was created in 2008 that allows schools and universities to set up their own independent wiki that can use all the technical possibilities of the ZUM Wiki . Several schools and universities take advantage of this offer. a. Professor Hans-Georg Weigand with the wiki “Didactics of Mathematics at the University of Würzburg”.
The "Medienvielfaltswiki" is part of an international project of the Austrian Center for Didactics of Computer Algebra (ACDCA), math online and GeoGebra in cooperation with the Lower Austria University of Education , the Regional Didactics Center for Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Würzburg and the project group Mathematik-digital.de . The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Education, Art and Culture in Austria.
The “IBK-Wiki”, a wiki project on the subject of “Internet-based communication in German lessons”, which has been set up by students at TU Dortmund University since the 2007/08 winter semester, also belongs to the ZUM Wiki family.
The ZUM Wiki Family also includes the “Learning Diversity” Wiki, which is provided in cooperation with the Bertelsmann Foundation .
ZUM-Unity
The teacher network ZUM-Unity , which was started by ZUM on March 1st, 2009 , moved to the Mixxt.de platform on April 1st, 2010. This online community for teachers offers blogs and forums there as well as the possibility of forming groups with their own forums. With the end of Mixxt.de at the end of 2015, the ZUM-Unity will also be discontinued. The ZUM blog takes over its function in a modified form.
TO chess
A chess platform ("ZUM-Schach") has been developed on ZUM.DE since 2004 to support schools that have introduced chess as a school subject. There is now an international community there that exchanges ideas about the theory and practice of chess.
Evaluation of club activities
The association is held in high esteem in didactic specialist literature.
