14th AAOU Conference in Manila on Ideology, Pedagogy &Technology in ODL
Ulrich Bernath, Carl von Ossietzky University of OldenburgCentre for Distance Education
Carl von Ossietzky became the name sake of Oldenburg University in 1991.Carl von Ossietzky (1888 - 1938) was an outstanding journalists and pacifists in Germany at the time of the Weimarer Republic. In 1933, when the Nazis seized power in Germany, Ossietzky was arrested because of his courageous stand for peace and democracy. He was interned in various concentration camps, among them Esterwegen (near Oldenburg). After he was awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 1935, international pressure led to his release. Never fully recoverring from his internment at Esterwegen, he died two years later in Berlin. In 1979, Carl von Ossietzky's daughter, Rosalinde von Ossietzky-Palm, donated his works to the University. An interdisciplinary research team edited a prize-winning complete edition of his works.

Our conceptual considerations
• Low cost and easy access for students
• Preferably asynchronous communication
• Password protected study groups
• Serving all academic disciplines
Strategic reconsiderations
• Online and face-to-face tutorials
• Reallocation of resources
• Increasing devision of labour
• New models of cooperation
• Urgent need for professional training
The student must come first
...in face-to-face as well as in online tutorials...
