Pan-European Development of an Internet-Based Logistics Course: The Pilot Global Supply Chain Management

Logistics education and the role of new media in teaching and learning increase in importance as globalization takes way. Globalization reflects the accelerating progress in information and communication technology and, from a logistical perspective, a shift in supply chain configurations. The following paper gives an example of how a group of European logistics professors set out to develop a pan-European course on logistics for university education by using the opportunities and possibilities of new media, especially the Internet. The paper reveals valuable experiences from the development of this multinational course project, which is, however, still in progress, but does not and cannot yet report on experiences educators made while teaching the course.
