16. Comments and final Remarks  Some Comments: - “Theoretically good, but practically it could throw you two years back, if a course is offered only every year and if you fail key-point-test you can’t make the following courses, so you have to wait up to two years.” - “So far, I have not a lot of information about this project. It sound really interesting, but I don’t know, how it should be possible to bring it to the praxis.” - “This is, what we were waiting a long time for: well structured content with a high affinity for usability.”  Final Remarks: - Predominately Expected Results - Good Position for Implementation of a new Curriculum - New Forms of Learning - Towards a “pervasive” University
