Finding Learning and Teaching Content inside HPI School Cloud (Schul-Cloud)

The use of digital media and teaching methods pose financial and administrative challenges to many schools. Often educational content is in closed silos, in textbooks or on individual computers in schools. HPI Schul-Cloud (engl. School Cloud) is a German research project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research and realised by the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering (HPI) in Potsdam, Germany. The goal of HPI Schul-Cloud is offering a common teaching and learning platform, where teachers are able to plan their lessons and find supportive educational material. Learners can deepen their knowledge using tools for practicing, communication and information retrieval. In this paper we will focus on the material search and discuss the required steps for bringing learning and teaching content into HPI Schul-Cloud.
