In this paper, we report on a technology-enhanced learning approach for teaching integration issues. Virtually available Web services have evolved considerably and teaching enterprise application as well as e-business integration at universities has become commonplace.However, this evolution is limited by the time that is needed for developing learner-centered applications, and most of all, by the resulting costs. By applying a collaborative learning model dans by incorporating shared code, available from the virtual workd, we were able to increase the motivational background as well as the learning sucess of the students. By demonstrating applications with a historical background, we strive for a convergence of natural sciences and humanities.
