TEACHING & LEARNING
Didactic guide to the use of videos in teaching
Video formats are the most popular formats on the web and are also becoming increasingly important in
higher education. Videos for teaching and learning are not only attractive, but also sustainable in terms of
learning transfer.
Why? Simply because:
Video holds viewer’s attention
It gives a quick overview and addresses a student directly on an emotional level
It helps students to control his/her own learning speed and learn in a personalized way
It enables an active and interactive learning experience
It enables learning in multiple formats thus stimulating different areas of the brain
Here you will find a detailed guide on how to integrate videos into your class.
PRME Sakai Site - Teaching and Learning Materials
After having introduced you to an external PRME platform for the SDGs some time ago, there is now also an internal platform with teaching and learning materials which all MCI staff members have access to. The Sakai site Responsible Management Education includes teaching and learning materials that you can use to integrate issues such as ethics, responsible behaviour and leadership, and sustainability into your teaching. There are a number of different formats (articles, videos, websites, e-books, slides, etc.) and subject areas, with particular emphasis on the SDGs, sustainable business models and ethics. You can easily subscribe to the site via the link above. If you have resources on these topics that you want to share with others, we would appreciate it if you contribute to the collection: please send your citations or files to prme@mci.edu and we will be happy to include them.

Congratulations!
The fact that digital transformation of teaching at the MCI is not only pursued with energy but also implemented with excellent results was demonstrated once again by the great achievement of Alexander Dumfort (UVET), Harald Schöbel (Biotechnology and food technology) and Werner Stadlmayr (UVET), whose project "Ohne MINT geht es nicht! - mathematisch-naturwissenschaftliche Grundlagen für alle" was shortlisted for this year's Ars Docendi - Austrian State Prize for Excellence in Teaching at Austrian Universities in the Field of Digital Transformation in Teaching. This excellent preparatory course for students in mathematical-scientific courses is based on a central Sakai site with numerous online elements such as tests, videos, online content, etc. The Ars Docendi is Austria's most prestigious prize for teaching at universities and is awarded by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research. This year, out of 131 submissions, five received an Ars Docendi award and ten a shortlist award. Congratulations on this great achievement!
