Initiative for the promotion of innovative teaching and learning at the University of Innsbruck

The University of Innsbruck would like to support its teaching staff in the ongoing development of their teaching and encourage experimentation with new teaching and learning methods and learning technologies. Therefore, customised support measures are made available. In order to meet different needs, the University offers various advisory and other services, as well as personnel and budgetary support for the production of high-quality teaching and learning materials.

Funding opportunities via the digital media budget Contact persons

Each faculty is allocated a budget each year, which is allocated directly by the digital media contact persons in consultation with the deans of studies, in order to specifically promote digital teaching activities. These funds can be used, for example, to finance (student) staff, procure hardware and software or purchase external services.

For further information, please contact your digital media contact person: https://www.uibk.ac.at/de/rektorenteam/lehre/digitalisierung-in-der-lehre/

Funding opportunities for the creation and use of Open Educational Resources (OER)

Open Educational Resources (OER) are specially licensed teaching and learning materials. Such an open licence enables free access as well as free use, editing and redistribution by others without or with minor restrictions. Open Educational Resources can include individual materials as well as complete courses or books.

The advantages of using OER include:

• OER is available to everyone worldwide
• The material can be widely distributed and exchanged through digitalisation and networking
• OER enables a new kind of collaboration
• Equal opportunities in the field of education
• Saves time when sharing and reusing teaching/learning materials
• Educational materials can be created, updated, edited and perfected together

The University of Innsbruck expressly supports the production and use of OER. We will be happy to advise you and provide you with extensive support in the production of materials. You can find further information here: https://www.uibk.ac.at/de/oer/

Archive: Teaching and learning support packages

Various themed teaching projects were funded between 2015 and 2022. After completion of the projects, the funding recipients wrote a (max. two-page) project reflection outlining the challenges as well as the potential (for teachers and learners).

The resulting projects show how diverse teaching is at the University of Innsbruck. Let us inspire you:
