E-Multiplikator:innen (E-MUs) sind vom CTL qualifizierte und begleitete studentische Mitarbeiter:innen in den Bereichen digitales Lehren und Prüfen, die in unterschiedlichen Studienprogrammen eingesetzt werden. In diesem Artikel erfahren Sie mehr über die Zielsetzung des Programmes, über konkrete Aufgaben der E-MUs sowie über den Prozess der Beantragung von E-MU-Stellen durch eine Studienprogrammleitung.
E-Multipliers( E-Multiplikator:innen = E-MUs) are student employees qualified and supervised by CTL in the areas of digital teaching and testing who are deployed in various study programs. In this article, you will learn more about the objectives of the program, specific tasks of the E-MUs, and the process of applying for E-MU positions through a study program director.
Do you need support in your course?
You are a lecturer at the University of Vienna and need support in the area of digital teaching (i.e. everything in and around Moodle) or in the area of testing and examining? In this list you can see if there are already E-MUs working at the SPL of your course. They will be happy to help you on request: Contact E-Multipliers: Kontaktmöglichkeiten E-Multiplikator*innen
Objectives of the program
E-multipliers are qualified student employees of the CTL who transfer knowledge in the area of digital teaching and testing, provide impulses for further development, and make good practice visible. The didactic focus is on active learning and improving the quality of examinations, with the aim of contributing to the learning and study success as well as the examination activity of the students.
E-multipliers provide SPLs and lecturers with support in the design and implementation of digitally supported courses, study phases and modules that are particularly relevant to the progress of studies.
E-multipliers communicate with CTL, SPL, teachers, tutors and study assistants. They do not take on direct communication tasks with students (unlike tutors).
E-MU tasks
1) Knowledge transfer on digital teaching & testing
In consultation with the SPL, the e-multipliers, as experts in digital teaching and testing, conduct consultations and workshops with tutors, study assistants, and teachers in the following areas:
- Learning goal-oriented conception of different didactic formats (e.g. blended learning formats, flipped classroom, hybrid teaching, purely digital teaching);
- Technical implementation of the formats in the learning platform Moodle (e.g., integration of activities and materials, settings for assessments and bonus points, design of Moodle courses at the beginning of the semester);
- Design of digital oral and written exams (e.g., assignments, timing, exam quality);
- Technical implementation of digital exams (e.g. settings, groups, upload, common technical problems).
In consultation with the respective lecturers, e-multipliers publish good practice examples for the implementation of digital teaching in the digital teaching wiki.
2) Support of specific courses and examinations
E-MUs support SPLs and teachers in the design and implementation of digitally supported courses, study phases and modules that are particularly relevant for the progress of the study ("key courses").
As part of the needs assessment, the study program management defines courses, study phases and modules that are to be supported by e-multipliers. Apart from this, teachers can also contact the e-multipliers directly in order to test innovative teaching and examination formats and to further develop them through feedback. The didactic focus is on student-centered and active teaching and learning formats.
3) Exchange and networking
EMUs are in contact with the study program management, lecturers, employees of the SSCs and student employees.
Through various exchange formats (monthly jour fixes at the CTL, Moodle rooms, wikis, etc.), they form a knowledge network that also exchanges and supports each other across study programs.
Application and general conditions
The application for the E-Multiplikator:innen happens via a call for applications, which usually starts in March and refers to the following academic year. The announcement is made in the SPL conference. E-multipliers can only be applied for by program directors. If you need the support of an e-multiplier in your course, please contact the head of your study program or the e-multiplier of the SPL responsible for you, if one is already available.
The e-multipliers will be employed by the CTL as study assistants from September onwards for 10 to 20 hours per week. The employment is usually for 12 months.
