U-Multirank Sunburst

U-Multirank is a new multidimensional, user-driven approach to international ranking of higher education institutions.

As a benefit U-Multirank provides an individualized seal for each institution representing the results of the indicators in each dimension as a downloadable element. All measures are grouped around the central symbol of U-Multirank, the „u“ on a circle-shaped button. All graphic elements refer to the identity of the web-tool and persue the corporate design of U-Multirank.

The seals are positioned on the profile page of each institution and can be downloaded by the universities for multiple use.

Monitor Lehrerbildung

Transparency in diversity in teacher education: The “Monitor Lehrerbildung” (teacher education monitor) platform provides current information and data about the various arrangements for teacher training within the individual German federal states and at the respective national universities for fact-based discussions and decisions.

The aim of the project is to create the comparability needed for a discussion. It focuses on target groups concerned with teacher education, i.e. politicians, journalists and players from teacher training, universities and ministries.

The project duration is set initially for the next five years. In addition to data updates, several extensions of the portal are set to take place during this period. We have already developed the diagram level as a first step. Thus the data can be retrieved in the conventional table view as text or as a graphic representation.

Project partners are the Bertelsmann Foundation, the CHE Centre for Higher Education Development, the Deutsche Telekom Foundation and the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft (Association for the Promotion of German Science and Humanities).

ClickCounter

ZEIT ONLINE Counters is the generic term for a series of tracking and analysis tools that capture the relevant online figures in near real-time. For ZEIT ONLINE, they represent a complement to web analytics tools such as Omniture or WebTrekk for its day-to-day work.

The counters are optimized for at-a-glance overviews. The key figures are presented graphically from different viewpoints. The results can then serve as a decision-making basis for further planning of tenders. All counters come with their own web and HTML5 mobile interface and can also be integrated into the CMS via a REST API.

ClickCounter: The ClickCounter counts the number of hits on the editorial pages of ZEIT ONLINE. The source is a web beacon. The hits for the article are evaluated every five minutes. The figures are graphically represented in five-minute intervals for the last hour and in one-hour intervals for the past 24 hours. Access is via a web interface, and programmatic access is possible via a REST API. ZEIT ONLINE also allows for integration into the CMS.

AdCounter: AdCounter counts the number of ad impressions for individual campaigns. The source is a web beacon. Campaigns can be defined in terms of time and be assigned to different channels. Values obtained are compared against expectations. The data are read every five minutes and are graphically represented. Furthermore, they are available down to the channel level. Past campaigns are archived.

TextCounter: The TextCounter gives information about the number of published articles per period/desk/author. The source is a Lucene SOLR index operated by ZEIT ONLINE. The search results are enriched with the corresponding values from the ClickCounter on an article basis.

Dashboard: The Dashboard collects the key figures from the individual counters and displays them graphically and textually. In addition, the current IVW (German Information Community for the Assessment of the Circulation of Media) data are integrated. To that end, the dashboard replaces the IVW Collectorbox at ZEIT ONLINE, which was taken down in 2011.

Press portal

In collaboration with various departments of North German Radio (NDR), Folge 3 developed the portal for press releases from the NDR and has continually upgraded it ever since.

The press portal shows registered users the upcoming NDR program for the next few weeks. The broadcasts for the current week are updated in 15-minute intervals so that you can look up last minute changes quickly.

In addition, a number of newsletters and the NDR press releases are sent via the press portal. The press department can invite people and the press to its events via the integrated invitation module.

Relaunch Hebron

We have implemented a new website for the Diakonissen-Mutterhaus Hebron. The Diakonissen-Mutterhaus Hebron is a Christian nursing sisterhood in Marburg.

The website presents the energetic charitable commitment of the sisterhood and is also a channel for communicating its vibrant community work. The website is specifically designed so the sisters can easily post new content themselves.

Excellence Ranking*

The Excellence Ranking of the CHE at ZEIT ONLINE. In a letter to the CHE, EU Education Commissioner Ján Figel supports the efforts of the Center for Higher Education Development (CHE) to develop a European ranking of excellent universities. For all the diversity, there is a lack of orientation opportunities for students and young researchers in the field of European higher education providing them with useful, transparent and comparable information to help them in their selection of a place of study.

In the CHE Excellence Ranking first published in late 2007 as part of a pilot project, the CHE identified those universities across Europe offering outstanding research achievements in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. Information on their respective offers for Masters and PhD students were gathered as part of the “CHE ExcellenceRanking.”

In 2009 and 2010 respectively, the ExcellenceRanking was republished with updated data and was extended to other subject areas. Thus by late 2010, an atlas of outstanding European research opportunities was available for students in the subjects of Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Political Science, and Psychology.

Carlsen

We provided the Carlsen Verlag with our services for over ten years. Carlsen is part of the Swedish Bonnier Group and is a leading publisher in the children’s and youth literature sector, including publishers of the “Harry Potter” book series.

The centerpiece was the “Carl” title database that we developed. It served the internal publisher’s administration, but also provided the data for the website.

The special feature of the design of the website was, on the one hand, to address the very different target groups (from children and young adult book readers to manga fans) via sub and micro-sites, and on the other hand, to develop a comprehensive concept with recognition value based on Carlsen’s corporate identity.
