INNOVATION & INITIATIVE
MCI eStudy
One of the most exciting teaching projects at MCI at the moment!
The MCI eStudy modules are online self-study learning modules that can be used as stand-alone microcredentials or as a stackable online Bachelor in General Management. They are aimed at (future) managers and those who want to continue their education in a flexible way. The MCI eStudy is a full bachelor programme that is 100% online and 100% self-study. It offers the greatest possible flexibility, from which teachers in particular can benefit - more on this in a moment.
The teaching project was designed by the Learning Solutions team in cooperation with the BWLO under the leadership of Claudia Mössenlechner and Christiane Aufschnaiter. The content of the MCI eStudy modules is created by our lecturers and converted into a digital self-learning format by MCI Learning Solutions, a team of experienced educators, instructional designers and media producers.
The modules are made available to students via our eStudy Campus. Each topic is based on a pre-defined and designed learning path that helps students work through specific topics in the form of subtopics and topic blocks.
MCI eStudy consists of 18 independent modules, each worth 5 ECTS. The pre-defined learning path allows for motivating introductions, individualised input and application-oriented phases to consolidate, deepen and review knowledge. The completion of each module also requires the ability to present and apply what has been learnt orally, in writing and as a scientific paper.
The possibility of using the eStudy modules in a modular way has several advantages for study programmes and teachers. These are, for example:
the individualisation of curricula
the integration of hybrid learning elements
the low-threshold use of microcredentials
Variety in everyday teaching
Curious? After all the theory, we now need to take a look at the modules. Click here for some inspiration!

DIDACTICS & TEACHING
MCI Study & Learn Sakai site
Showing options for action and enabling further development are two essential features in teaching. The newly designed MCI Study & Learn site combines this. It offers (potential) students as well as those interested in learning orientation and tips on various aspects of the large subject area of learning. Among other things, the Sakai site addresses the areas of "Smart and productive studying", "Lifelong learning" and the "(further) development of digital competences".
We invite all teachers to share this page with students, parents, schools and the entire learning community.
The Sakai MCI Study & Learn site has free access and can be visited without an MCI login!
Feedback, suggestions and ideas can be passed on to Katharina Matschl.
LEARNING & COMMUNITY CORNER
Gaming4Learning
Learning Solutions has recently launched a new training course: Gaming4Learning. We are pleased to include feedback from Thomas Aichner, who has already successfully completed the course.
Prof. Dr. Thomas Aichner, Vortragender im Executive MBA am MCI:
"The 'Gaming4Learning' online course was very enriching for me as a marketing professor. Despite the confirmation that games are not able to achieve all learning objectives in every course, they have the potential to make teaching more diverse and engaging. It became clear that games can help to deliver certain content more effectively, regardless of the age of the participants or the size of the group. The examples in the course were generally helpful and have inspired me to use game-based elements more often in the future."
Anyone interested in reading the newsletter and, like Mr Aichner, wanting to immerse themselves in Gaming4Learning can register via the Designer. Thanks to the self-paced format, the course is 100% flexible.
Of course, the Learning Solutions team is always happy to receive feedback! Special thanks to Mr Thomas Aichner for the nice contact and the personal feedback.
Successful and inspiring courses to all of you and see you soon!
