This work follows an ongoing discussion on the implications of skeuomorphic vs. flat design for interface design. Therefor two subsets of the standard iOS6 and iOS7 system icons were reviewed with a semiotic inspection method and compared against each other. The subsets were chosen according to an open online user rating. The findings suggest that missing information due to design simplification is a major issue for less user acceptance. This study shows that especially flat design affords a more careful focus on the semantics of the used elements.
ECampus is a project spanning all departments at the University of Fulda. It has been started to create a uniform learning environment at the university. The objective is to research and develop a user-friendly easy-to-use editor to generate SCORM 2004 conform eLearning modules. This editor is based on Open Source software and new technologies such as XSL transformations and the Google web toolkit. Some eLearning modules can be developed with the system immediately. These modules are now being used during the lessons with great success.

This editor is based on Open Source software and new technologies such as XSL transformations and the Google web toolkit. The whole system is provided as a web application and embedded within the E-Learning environment of the university. Some E-Learning modules can be developed with the system immediately.
