How Future Logistics Stakeholders See IWT ?

Lars Stemmler

Students of University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück

present their views on inland shipping

Inland shipping is a niche industry within logistics . Bringing IWT out of its niche ,

bremenports asked future logisticians how they see inland shipping , and ,

more importantly , how they would convey the IWT message to their peers . In

short , over the course of one semester , we asked them to investigate IWT by

designing their own research project .

For this , bremenports cooperated with the University of Applied Sciences

Osnabrück , Germany , to dedicate a semester - long module on international

logistics to inland shipping .

Along heutagogical principles , 30 + students were encouraged to formulate

their own learning objectives within the context of IWT ´ s role in international

logiscits . Heutagogics build upon personal experiences of the learners in

order to establish a context for future explorations meeting their own intrinsic

curiosity . This curiosity was sparked by exposing them to a multi - dimensional

learning environment of expert talks , excursions and case studies .

The training shed light on a

logistics sector we would

otherwise never have

explored

inalnd shipping – an imagined

interview

The learning environment included a

time - dimension : We visited the inland

port of Osnabrück and explored its

past in a local museum . Several

external speakers provided for their

perspectives other than that of the

course instructor . We introduced

activity - based learning through case

studies on IWT . However , a great part

of the course was dedicated to

guided self - study .

Heutagogy , or " self - determined learning , " is an

educational framework where students take

complete control of their learning path including

setting goals choosing methods and evaluating

progress
