Key this access most current design data all participants at times. This can be done via a dedicated software solution, for which both commercial and open-source tools are available.

The aim offer other teachers students some guideline selecting solution implementing it course work, way using tool itself does not become central learning challenge course. results might interest beyond university courses, as requirements, like short times get familiar or certain interface also apply environments research development.
