E-Learning Center
Welcome to the E-Learning Center of the FH Kufstein Tirol! We attach great importance to high-quality and efficient knowledge transfer. We are always guided by the latest didactic findings.
We support modern teaching in our degree programs and at the International Business School of the FH Kufstein Tirol. We offer you as a student or course participant a variety of tools, methods and didactic approaches. This allows you to make optimal use of new media for your degree program or further education. Regardless of whether you are studying full-time or part-time, we want to offer you the greatest possible flexibility through time- and location-independent teaching. We support our lecturers in preparing course content with innovative ideas and using the various e-learning tools in a didactically meaningful way. Together we create a future-oriented and flexible learning environment that optimally prepares you for your professional future.

BLENDED LEARNING
Our higher education institution focuses on the concept of blended learning. This combines traditional attendance phases with online learning phases in order to make the most of the strengths of both forms of teaching.
This mix offers our students and course participants clear added value. During the online phases, they can access the learning content digitally and at any time as required. During the on-site events, they have space for exchange and discussion. This allows students to consolidate their theoretical knowledge in the long term by applying it to practice-oriented issues during the face-to-face phases.
Problems that often occur with purely online courses, such as challenges in time and self-management or the lack of personal contact with lecturers, can also be avoided in this way.
