= Description =

This is a unique project that gives mathematics students the opportunity to improve their study process with the support from the IT department. Video lectures, podcasts, student app, math forum - these are the recent ideas that we took in our consideration. But this project does not restrict itself only to such "fancy" development steps. We collect information about and try to improve the IMATH-'my' webpage (https://www.math.uzh.ch/my/), I-Math mainpage (http://www.math.uzh.ch/), other uni online resources to make them more user-friendly and useful to students. Thus, we kindly advice everyone to take part in our challenging project.

= Goals =

'''1.''' Improvement of the study process via IT

'''2.''' Improvement of the I-Math services with the students support

 * analysis of the current situation
 * ideas on improvement
 * optional: implementation of the ideas

= Roadmap =

 * Analysis of the I-Math services
 * Survey students and assistants
 * Which other services are used by students (OLAT?)
 * Which services are demanded
 * Comparison with other universities
