virtual knowledge spaces, and on the design of intelligent data analysis and validation schemes.Olivier Pfeiffer, Technische Universitat Berlin Olivier Pfeiffer received his M.Sc. in Mathematics at the Berlin University of Technology in 2002. His thesis in numerical mathematics investigated “Error Control using Adaptive Methods for Elliptic Control Problems in Matlab”. He has been working in several eLearning projects at the Berlin University of Technology, beginning as a student assistant in the Mumie project - a platform using new pedagogical concepts to support teaching of mathematics for mathematicians, engineers and natural scientists - at the Berlin University of Technology in
