As far as all criteria is completed, students will receive a certificate including 3, 4, 5 or 10 credit points (ECTS) depending on their choosen module. I am asking all students to adress their individual situation in the introductory session, so I can give appropriate information. 

For example, students may use 5 credits for their Bachelor Degree in Computer Science, and for their Master Degree in Computer Science as „Wissenchaftliches Arbeiten Praktische Informatik“ („Research Work Applied Computer Science", as ABV for their Diploma in Applied Computer Science, and for their Educational Degree in combination with "E-Learning/project eLearning“ (10 credit points combined). The course may also be part of the individual or major coursework for Bachelor Degrees.

Participants of other disciplines are requested to ask their departments for accountability.
