During the conference, the BIPER project team will present the results of the two-year BIPER (Business Informatics Programme Reengineering) project and lessons learned from pilot implementations at several universities and, finally, the “Smart City Enterprise Architectures Virtual Reality Summer School”.

The BIPER project aims to foster a collaborative partnership to develop a blended learning compatible business information systems curriculum based on shared values, eLearning experiences, and sound pedagogical principles. The challenge involves not only teaching methods and materials but also the teachers and trainers themselves. The academic field of Business Information Systems (BIS) is a complex one that combines business and organizational issues with applied information technology issues. Teaching such a multidisciplinary field, which requires not only knowledge of theoretical concepts and technical skills to use tools, but also a problem-oriented mindset and related problem-solving skills is a challenge in itself.
