FNM-Austria (in German: Forum Neue Medien in der Lehre österreichischer Universitäten und Fachhochschulen) is a network of Austrian universities and universities of applied sciences dedicated to e-learning and to improvement of teaching activities.

As a trans-disciplinary forum, it offers expertise in the area of high quality teaching and learning with "new media".

Its strategic mission is to institutionalise innovative media-didactics on the tertiary level.


Most Austrian institutions of tertiary education are members of FNM-Austria.

The scientists active in these member-organisations constitute the "community" to be served by fnm-austria. Its activities are controlled by delegates from those member organisations.

The Association's web site is not known, but see http://strategie.nml.at/strategie/dokumente/projektbeschreibungen/03_lehreaustria_e.pdf

(The Association is a member of no known other organisations.)


Further details

NML-NIB

FNM-Austria have done a project NML-NIB (Ergebnisse aus dem Auftragsprojekt: Strategie und Umsetzung des Einsatzes neuer Medien in der Lehre) with seven country reports (see http://www.fnm-austria.at/stategie/home/nml-nib),


FH-Cluster

There is also a Fachhochschule cluster (FH-Cluster) where nine Austrian universities of applied sciences developed in a cooperative way components for their individual eLearning-strategies, funded by the ministry of education in Austria. The FH-Cluster-participants were: FH Kufstein, FH Vorarlberg, FH Technikum Kärnten, FH Joanneum, FH Wiener Neustadt, FH Technikum Wien, FH Campus Wien, FH bfi Wien, FH St. Pölten

Five topics were developed together and implemented during two years

  1. connectivity of learning and administration systems in their organizations
  2. credit system for content sharing
  3. training of the e-learning professors
  4. gender mainstreaming in e-learning
  5. students support for learning technologies at their study entrance

One of the main benefits of the project was the sub-network of universities developed to maintain their efforts in e-learning.
