«E-Learning in Austria’s Higher Education Sector»
(conferencia en inglés)
Emerging computer-based media and technologies, such as computer games, multi-platform mobile devices as well as web-based services and social media, have changed the way we communicate, interact, find, and process knowledge. Mark Prensky defined this generation, born and grown up in the digital age as ‘digital natives’ who utilize computers and are used to access information virtually at all times and from anywhere. Consequently, the landscape of education is also shifting as the expectations of modern students move towards increased integration of digital technology in their learning environments. This presentation explores the situation of e-learning and e-teaching in the higher education sector in Austria. Furthermore, it gives an overview of e-education initiatives at Graz University of Technology, and it finally covers some selected illustrative examples.
