New Learning Technologies

Technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality play an increasingly large role in different industries by enabling new innovative products and markets. This is especially true in the field of Learning and Education, where trainees can now learn in virtual, augmented or mixed realities without the need to purchase expensive training equipment.

The E&I Institute is currently working on a multi-year project in collaboration with the world leading company in industrial education and training. The goal of the project is to investigate the business opportunities that result from the increasing use of new technologies in learning.

As part of this ongoing project, we are looking for students to write 3 - 5 bachelor theses focusing on  „Online Pricing Models“, „Adoption of New Technologies“ and „VR and Learning“.

We are looking for students who can start the work on their bachelor thesis as soon as possible.

If you are interested in writing a bachelor thesis in this field or you need some more information, please contact Klaus Marhold (klaus.marhold@wu.ac.at) or Shtefi Mladenovska (shtefi.mladenovska@wu.ac.at).
