FHWien der WKW once again brought outstanding didactic projects before the curtain.
By awarding the prize for innovative teaching, FHWien der WKW recognizes innovative didactic projects every year and thus underlines the high value of teaching at the university of applied sciences specializing in management and communication. On November 11, 2021, the best projects were awarded at an online event.
The focus of this year´s call was on recipes for success for standard teaching courses and on the integration of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into teaching. The quality of all submissions was outstanding, which presented the FHWien der WKW internal jury with a difficult task in selecting the award winners.
Two awards for innovative elements in courses
Two winning teams were selected in the category “Individual Innovative Elements”: The project “Barcamp” by Dipl.-Soz.päd. (FH) Claudia Schwarz, MA, Dr.in Margret Steixner and Mag.a Sandra Luger is characterized by a high degree of action and competence orientation. Within the framework of the project “Comic Labor Law” by Birgit Kronberger, MBA, Mag. Rainer Kraft and Mag.a Doris Preyer, legal teaching content was prepared and visualized through the use of comics.
Award for integrating the SDGs into teaching
The prize in the category “Sustainable Development Goals in Teaching” was awarded to Klaus Fritz, B.A. M.A. and Mag. (FH) Jürgen Weiß, B.A. M.A.. They integrated the Sustainable Development Goals into the entire course “Tourism Macroeconomics”. The students developed asynchronous content and presented a weekly “SDG Tourism Ticker”. They processed findings and developed correlations as part of a systems analysis.
Outstanding example
Regula Blocher submitted an innovative concept and is sharing her idea of a virtual poster session with peer feedback as a Panopto presentation.
Subsequently, innovative teaching concepts will be presented here. If you would like to present your teaching concept or even just one innovative element, please send us an e-mail. We are looking forward to your contributions!
