Optima is a Web-based online learning environment
It is used for group or individual work (e.g. for the
electronic distribution of course materials, for
completing and turning in assignments, for discussion

For teachers and students, Optima offers opportunities
to collaborate with teachers and other students (even
while being abroad)
A typical approach is ”blended approach” in which
