About tales
The courses on tales are free and openly accessible. Most courses require no prior knowledge.
tales courses are multimedia: they contain articles as well as videos, podcasts and quizzes. They are available in German, English and French.
At set times, learners can log in, comment and take part in discussions with peers and lecturers, while the course content remains accessible to all. In order to comment, a login via SWITCH edu-ID is required.
