The course material
The consortium members use some additional tools for the content creation. Besides the inbuilt, typical Moodle tools the developers have taken the H5P Framework (implemented as a Moodle Plugin). Additionally, the content creators also resorted to eXe-Learning and developed some learning units using this tool.

The course material is also available (for demonstration reasons) in Spanish, German, and Portoguese Language.
