Abstract
Vienna University of Technology’s E-Learning Centre introduced Moodle in 2006 as the university’s central learning management system. Custom interfaces to existing IT infrastructure as well as modules developed and deployed according to user’s needs provide for a seamless digital workflow in the university’s teaching, learning and organisational processes. Encouraging the use of the LMS as a multi-purpose tool to support all kinds of co-operation and communication activities in addition to curricular teaching led to a rapid and significant increase in user numbers and encouraged university teachers to deal with educational questions and to develop innovative learning and teaching solutions, based on the LMS.
