  • In 2011, the location Bad Gleichenberg FH JOANNEUM acquired as the first university of applied sciences in Austria, as well as the first academic institution, the Austrian Ecolabel for extracurricular education establishments.

Teaching

The FH Joanneum in teaching has three priorities:

  • Didactic training
  • An English modules
  • Teaching with web support.

Since the winter semester of 2010, all teachers must regularly attend a mandatory didactic training in order to keep the teaching methods up to date and to be able to convey the contents as well as possible. As an incentive created by the FH Joanneum the " Teaching Award ", which every year teachers to be excellent .. Another issue is teaching in English. On the one hand, there are courses that are offered completely in English, on the other hand is trying to hold courses in English to prepare for English-language works.

There is a separate research facility for teaching with the support of e-learning and other Web applications at the FH Joanneum. But addition to the research activities with the students, it is also strongly to the practical integration of different tools in everyday student life. Since autumn 2010, the FH Joanneum Moodle used as an e -learning platform to provide students teaching materials and to some extent literature.

Research

Research priorities are:

International Economic

  • International Business Development
  • Management and communication

Information, Design & Technologies

  • Green Mobility and Green Technologies
  • Info -and edutainment
  • Safety and Security

Life, Building, Environment

  • Energy-efficient technologies
  • Resource-saving Urban and Regional Development

Health Sciences

  • Diagnostic and Therapeutic Research, Activity and Participation
  • EHealth
  • Public health and health systems

Research centers of excellence

Many of the courses have competency centers where they start in their respective research projects, mostly with student participation. Large -scale multi-year projects are also undertaken; they deal mostly with the core issues of the FH Joanneum, so with future topics such as Green Mobility, web competence or the habitats of the future.

Research Projects

  • The department of " Life, Building and Environment" research within the framework of the project " Ecotopia " at the city of the future. Retrieved from " Architecture and Construction " about " energy. Transport and environmental management "to" social work " involved a total of five courses. Social, environmental and economic sustainability in housing, traffic design and use of resources are the focus of the question. At various levels - from the city planning to the youth literature - try the research team to find solutions for the urban development of the future. In the Children Graz 2010, the students and teachers also granted to young researchers insights into their work and a possible " city of the future ".
  • With " ballad", a charging station, the FH deepened their research activities in the field of Green Mobility. The idea is that around 13,500 payphones which are in Austria yet, but are hardly needed to be converted into electricity dispensers. This is one of the obstacles to the widespread use of electric cars - the missing tank infrastructure - are out of the way. The courses " Advanced Electronic Engineering" and "Electronics & Technology Management ", the research on the project, develop the hardware and software for the current column itself benefits to the charging point network the growing number of electric vehicles and electric moped riders.
  • In the fall of 2010 launched the ZML - Innovative Learning Scenarios and the program " Journalism and PR " the three-year research project " Web Literacy Lab". Here is researched, which media skills - especially Webkompetenzen - companies and organizations should have, how they can develop these and teach her ​​staff and how they can be implemented efficiently in everyday communication. Researches are aligned to national and international companies in various industries. Among other things, the readability of text on various mobile devices (eg iPad, WeTab, Galaxy Tab) is tested here. The aim is to develop and present training concepts and the associated training materials and methods catalogs.

Research institutions

At the FH Joanneum there are also two research institutions outside of the individual courses of study:

The " ZML - Center for Innovative Learning Scenarios" develops learning scenarios based on the support of technology and web applications. These include, for example, communication in networks or 3D simulations. The latter are, for example, important for professions that involve in the real exercise of great dangers, such as dealing with chainsaws and fire extinguishing systems. By simulating persons who are still in training can practice such dangerous scenarios before they are exposed to the reality of such a situation. In ZML but also e-learning scenarios to be explored. These are especially relevant for job studies that have experienced in recent years a kind of boom. In this case, the ZML employed, for example, with the ease of use of different surfaces (usability) or with the " learning through computer games," in which, in various projects, the effect of educational games is studied on the PC.

The "Institute for Technology and Society " deals with current social developments. For a while the challenges are analyzed, the face of the economy in a globalized world. Emphasis is placed on practical perspective value. On the other social problems are explored, resulting in the social reality of a globalized world or arose. Work is underway to make the causes of social and economic phenomena such as unemployment, poverty or discrimination to understand and find solutions for it.
