Project Abstracts: **Let’s reboot Luzern** (as an educational hub)

based on Wired Issue Jan 2010

Being an international student study hospitality in Luzern area we want to research on selected topics which may be of importance for internationla students coming to Luzern and provide insider information to new or current students to start a discussion. We will use the existing website from StudyinLucerne as a base to inform but will additionally use many more web2.0 applications available on the internet. We will then use another channel (cityguide for iphone) to tell the same story.

Your final delivery should be done in a professional way using ICT technologies. Ensure that you provide enough references and document your decisions. Ensure that you have done enough research on all the three distribution channels to provide a customized proposal for each separate one based on what fits in content wise as well as technically. Discuss in the group and justify your decisions and suggestions.

There is NO grading on your topic chosen but ONLY on the way how you use technical / digital apps and tools to promote and market it ( digital footprints). But before you can start with this you must have a story to tell, make sure you have talked to L Ritzel about your topic you cover as a team and ensure that your information is relevant for international students in Lucerene and at a professional level.
