Research

The European Initiative for Education is not only a teaching institution, but also actively involved in research (and research projects). The focus is set on technology in teaching, with a special emphasis on research, creating or developing modern teaching methods in various teaching environments. This does not only cover the necessary settings, but also contains the development of necessary teacher’s training or other related items.

Quality matters – therefore, in all research activities or projects an all-embracing quality enhancement system is included.

BladEdu Conference I (February 2014 in Wiener Neustadt)

One of the first research projects was the Multilateral Grundtvig Project “Blended Learning Quality-Concepts Optimized for Adult Education“. The EBI/EIE was a consortium partner, and the two mainly involved researchers (Peter Mazohl and Harald Makl) developed the quality framework and edited the final product.
