BLENDED LEARNING PLATFORMS FOR MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS - THE OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES TECHNIKUM WIEN

To ensure an up-to-date approach to learning in higher education, Blended Learning platforms for mathematics and physics are used transdisciplinary at the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien. Their Open Access policy and value for gender- and diversity- management are discussed. In terms of content, the entire spectrum of previous school knowledge and the basics of bachelors-knowledge in technical fields of study is covered in these subjects. The ongoing development of additional gamification elements, a responsive design concept to meet the increased use of smartphones, and educational videos complement the platforms. The aim is to promote individualized self-study and to enable learning independent of time and place. The structure and functions of the platforms themselves focus on individual support, which is intended to stimulate and support independent and lifelong learning. They include a wide range of exercises with solutions and self-tests at different performance levels. Individual learning resources as well as entire tests can be integrated into learning management systems such as Moodle. Thus, the platforms represent a well controllable resource pool for teaching. In order to benefit from the possibilities of digitalization across universities and to provide a good range of learning opportunities we are always interested in productive exchange. At this moment, all content is available in german language. We are looking forward to cooperations to translate the content into english language.
