Module 4: Research Data Management Support


Module Lead

Mag. Claudia Hackl

As project manager of "Open Education Austria Advanced" (OEAA) - a digitization project to create attractive solutions for open educational resources - Claudia Hackl is responsible for knowledge transfer at the interface of Open Education and Open Science on national level. She advises higher education institutions on the institutional anchoring of Open Educational Resources (OER) and on upskilling for engaging in the national infrastructure for OER built at OEAA. In that context she is also part of several international working groups, such as the EOSC task force on “Upskilling countries to engage in EOSC” and the “AG OER Repo” which is discussing OER-repositories in the German speaking higher education sector.

Since 2020 Claudia Hackl is part of the digital teaching team at the Center for Teaching and Learning at the University of Vienna, which offers media didactic qualification and support services for teachers. Among others she has also been working in the field of Digital Humanities at the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities (ACDH-CH) or educational technologies at the CSLEARN research group of the University of Vienna. 

Claudia Hackl focusses on generating and exploiting synergies from Open Education and Open Science at the heart of a unique cooperation among e-learning centres, central IT services and libraries of the partner universities at OEAA in the field of digital innovation of teaching in higher education.
