Structure of MCVN
Centre point: Berlin sends information to National Points,
supervises and co-ordinates their work receives new lecture notes from all
involved partner institutions centralized communication between
National Points updates it and fills in new information

Properties of the Centre Point
Static: most contents can be filled in and changed locallyDynamic: Only the Bulletin BoardAvailable to everybody, but:Gives access to some parts only to authorized users
Remark: the access is not guaranteed?
![Page 13: Concept of a Multilingual Virtual Classroom Network for Software Engineering Module Katerina Zdravkova Institute of Informatics, Skopje E-mail: Keti@ii.edu.mk](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d495503460f94a2515e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
National Centres
Independent units of the whole networkBasically: mirroring sitesTranslations of common contents coming from the Centre PointIndividual elements concerning the course (place, time, students, …)Needs dynamic access to national servers
![Page 14: Concept of a Multilingual Virtual Classroom Network for Software Engineering Module Katerina Zdravkova Institute of Informatics, Skopje E-mail: Keti@ii.edu.mk](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d495503460f94a2515e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
