Help and FAQ

To ensure that there is something for everyone, the TELucation articles are available in printed form, as a web version and for download as a PDF as well as an accessible and editable Word document. Some like to have their documents in paper form, others prefer to use digital materials.

The analogue folder is meant to be special and a keepsake. A hard copy of the folder itself is available at every institute and faculty of Graz University of Technology for employees and guests to browse through.

Individuals receive a TELucation folder as a special award or for special achievements, e.g. teaching award winners. The folder can be presented in your office and lent to colleagues.

New TELucation articles are published at regular intervals (approx. every 2-3 months). New articles are published at events of the organisational unit TU Graz Educational Technology or the VR Lehre, e.g. at Lunch und Lehre, the LLT Breakfast or similar.

The English translations and accessible versions are sometimes published 1-2 weeks after the German version.

When a new TELucation article is published, it is presented at an event organised by the Vice-Rectorate for Academic Affairs or the OU Educational Technologies.

At an in-person event, printed articles are available to take home for people who have no personalised folder.

Articles are sent to all institutes and people with a personalised folder via internal post so that the folders are always up to date.

You can access the digital form of the TELucation contributions at any time here at telucation.tugraz.at or download it as a PDF. If you are missing an article for the folder, please contact telucation@tugraz.at.

N.B.: the articles TC#05 as well as TOOLS#02 are only available as digital editions, as they were published during the Covid 19 lockdowns.

In the how-to guides, we focus on frequently used or new features and tools at TU Graz and add screenshots of the learning management system at TU Graz, the TeachCenter.

We do not provide support for third-party tools and applications and therefore do not provide instructions for Discord, Padlet etc.

An iTunes/Spotify integration is currently being worked on. It will be available from March 2022, so that you can subscribe to the podcast more easily and never miss an episode again.

Do you know about an exciting, current topic that is also relevant for other university teachers, or is your teaching a best-practice example for others? Would you like to share your knowledge and your experiences with others?

Guidelines are provided in the Author’s Guide, (external site) which however is currently available in German only. If you would like to write an article, please write an email to telucation@tugraz.at with your suggestion for a topic. We will then discuss the further procedure together.
