Success Stories: Projects using eLML
The eLML website itself was also created using eLML
Who is using eLML? Since it's open source we can't really track who is using eLML. But we would like to list some projects that have been using eLML for the last years and that also helped improve eLML with valuable input or manpower. If your project is using eLML and you would like to be listed here feel free to contact us.

PTO is an eLearning course which facilitates the understanding of mental disorders. It covers mainly the phenomenology of mental disorders, but also other important facets of psychopathology such as diagnostic challenges or information on rating scales. PTO is held in German and designed to be implemented in various blended learning scenarios, but can also be used as a stand-alone learning module. Additionally, PTO introduces an innovative adaptive learning system, which compares the individual cognitive learning structures of the students with expert structures, resulting in automated learning recommendations and exercises. PTO's first official release in summer term 2007 was used by 350 students at four different universities in Switzerland and Austria. Up to now, PTO is regularly used at the Universities of Zurich, Bern, Fribourg, Basel, Salzburg and the LMU Munich with a total number of more than 1300 users. PTO reached the finals and won the "Publikumspreis" of the Medida-Prix 2007 as well as the "Springer E-Learning Award 2008".
