Avallain at German Education Trade Fair

Together with its partner VHS.Böblingen Sindelfingen (the Adult Education centre at Böblingen Sindelfingen) Avallain is presenting products jointly developed to meet the special needs of adult education centers and colleges at the biggest German Education Trade Fair "Didacta" at Hannover. The clou of all products is that adult education centres do not have to buy, install and maintain a software: they book access to the web based tools and can use them - with localised details such as logo, localised URL, etc. - without the effort of hosting, maintenance, security, etc. The presented products include:
  • vhs-intern.de is a project management tool enabling the communication with internal and external partners and the joint management of courses and projects. A sophisticated distribution of rights allows external partners to work within the system, edit projects and add items.
  • vhs-WISSEN provides the platform to run localised online quizzes. A useful tool to strengthen the local education marketing and PR.
  • vhs-KINDERuni.de (Kinder Uni = Kinder Universität = children's university). In Germany universities offer since 2002 lectures specially designed to attract children and win them at an early age for later studies. Recently, adult education centres (Volkshochschulen) also started offering such courses and lectures for children to establish a positive connection to learning and the brand "Volkshochschule" at an early age.
    vhs-KINDERuni.de is an online platform enabling children to learn in addition to lectures: together with their parents they can answer questions in reference to the attended lectures and solve tasks.
