Major EU Project
Brenner Base Tunnel
The Brenner Base Tunnel and the New Brenner Railway are a project of the Trans-European Networks – in short, TEN. The aim is to connect European countries optimally and to contribute to a more environmental-friendly and efficient organisation of traffic. The transportation of cargo is to be shifted to the railway and public passenger transportation is to become more attractive. The TEN Axis No. 1 runs from Berlin to Palermo. The Brenner Base Tunnel between Innsbruck and Franzensfeste is the core element of the entire TEN Axis 1. With impressive pictures and the aid of interviews with experts, the film – starting with the current traffic situation at the Brenner, which is disproportionately divided – steers us right into the Brenner Base Tunnel. Its construction engineering is described as well as the measures taken for environmental protection and tunnel safety. An outlook on the future use and benefits of the BBT shows the viewer how the alpine region between Munich and Verona embarks upon the “mobility of tomorrow”.

Podcasting
Today, the use of new media has become a matter of course not only in everyday life – schools and teaching, too, benefit from the new technologies and methods, which support active and independent learning. Especially in computer science, ethics and language courses but also in all other subjects, modern media are a valuable pedagogic and didactic asset. This DVD uses the example of podcasts to demonstrate how the possibilities opened up by new media can be applied in the classroom and how the pupils can be taught to handle them in a competent and target-oriented manner. The film is aimed at supporting the use of podcasts at school and encourages making them. This also requires the ability to find information on the Internet and assess it. The film informs on the functionality of podcasts and technical background as well as on the teaching and learning possibilities offered by podcasts – ranging from specific contents to superordinate learning targets such as the advancement of creativity and team spirit. The DVD is a useful support for teachers applying new media and wishing to show their pupils how to handle Running Time: 20:29 ms them in a sensible way.
