The Virtual University of Bavaria (VHB) offers a diverse range of online self-study courses available in various flexible formats, allowing students to tailor their learning experience according to their preferred time and location. As part of the SMART-vhb project titled "Maître chez nous - Development of Society and Politics in Québec since the Révolution Tranquille" a team comprising Prof. Dr. Christoph Barmeyer, Tuzienka Chenet Ugarte, and Felina Sieland diligently crafted five comprehensive learning modules. These modules delve into political, social, demographic, (inter)cultural, and entrepreneurial aspects of the Québec region. The development work spanned from October 2021 to October 2022.

These modules cover a wide array of topics, including language policy, Québec's distinctive cultural position within Canada, and the role of interculturality as a catalyst for creativity, among others. Furthermore, the project features insightful expert interviews conducted with Prof. Dr. Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink, Prof. Dr. Kerstin Kuyken (Université du Québec à Montréal), Prof. Dr. Victor Armony (Université du Québec à Montréal), and the accomplished translator, Louis Bouchard. These teaching units are accessible to both educators and students across Bavarian universities and universities of applied sciences who seek to deepen their understanding of Québec.
