Zusammenfassung:

Coastal zones are areas where high future conflicts between environmental, social and economic targets are expected. Multiple stakeholders with different fields of interests are involved in the process of conceiving sustainable land- and sea-use strategies in coastal zones. To support the upcoming management and decision processes educated actors are needed, who are able to navigate through the complexity of human-environmental systems at the coast on an indispensably interdisciplinary background. eLearning can increase the efficiency and sustainability of training. In order to provide up-to-date approaches and refer to practical experience, two approaches were developed and tested in this study:

(1) To provide in depth insight into the scientific progress and the broad application of innovative technologies and management strategies in the field of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), four case studies from an interdisciplinary and international context were elaborated. They focus on different uses, their impacts and possible solutions: (1) off-shore wind farming, (2) shrimp aquaculture, (3) tourism, (4) conflict management, and are located in Germany, Honduras, and Thailand. For all the case studies the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response approach was used to structure the complex information on different spatial and temporal scales that need to be considered in ICZM. The case studies are based on research data, e.g. of the project Zukunft Küste - Coastal Futures, provide innovative and highly specialised courses on ICZM, and complement face-to-face lectures.

(2) Using the existing ENCORA platform (EuropeaN platform for COastal ReseArch) the students were encouraged to participate in the scientific community of coastal researchers. The students used the platform for internet research and contributed with their own articles to the Coastal-Wiki ("Coastal and Marine Wikipedia") addressing a wide spectrum of topics. The eLearning concept allows to learn and to teach without being constrained by time and place, fostering at the same time communication and collaboration. Target users at the Ecology-Centre of Kiel University are the students of the international Master curriculum "Environmental Management", but the modules and articles are relevant and available for practioners as well. The eLearning approaches are based on modern didactical applications, e.g. learner centred, project based learning, and they increase the efficiency and sustainability of the outcomes of the project Zukunft Küste - Coastal Futures.
