The European Media Cloud Campus (EMCC) Project

Abstract

Five partner institutions have received Erasmus + financing 2015-2017 to create a European Media Cloud Campus (EMCC). This is an innovative, cloud-based learning environment for cross-media content production based on open source technology. The participants are primarily students in journalism, media and the creative industries, and the EMCC employs a constructivist didactical approach.
