The development process: English version vs. national versions

Do we need national versions?

The case for the English version:

• Less maintenance effort• Students cope with English• Enforce higher quality of English slides• More attractive in international cooperations

The case for national versions:

• National educational laws• Ability of the students• Ease of presentation for the lecturer
