Main focus: Since the medical curricula have undergone a considerably transformation during the last decades, quality of teaching and learning has gained considerable awareness. Our institute places particular emphasis on acceptance and efficiency of e-learning, with a special focus on microlearning. In numerous quasi-experimental settings, e-learning types, student satisfaction and knowledge acquisition are evaluated. In addition, our main e-learning platforms (MOODLE, knowledgeFox) are used for learning analytics.
Network: Our institute closely cooperates with the staff unit “Teaching with Media”. Staff members provide the necessary e-learning infrastructure and support teachers and students as well. They aim at increasing e-learning content and e-learning quality. In addition, the team of the staff unit provides the necessary data for scientific evaluation. All these activities are embedded in a region-wide network of Styrian universities, comprising the Technology-Enhanced Learning Styria community, and are in cooperation with fnma (Forum of New Media in Teaching Austria).
