Abstract: In this paper we present the design of a course on multimedia-based learning and a case study carried out at the Darmstadt University of Technology. We describe the course, the interdisciplinary audience and the employment of computer-based communication and cooperation. In more detail we introduce VITAL, a computer-supported cooperative learning environment. We state the results of the evaluation of the course. Finally, we come to the conclusion that by using the computer as a communication and cooperation medium new forms of discussion arise which have more of a brainstorming character than a continuous coherent discussion.
