Abstract

This article presents a progress report from the last two years of the Teaching Dig- ital Thinking (TDT) project. This project aims to implement new concepts, didactic methods, and teaching formats for sustainable digital transformation in Austrian Universities’ curricula by introducing new digital competencies. By equipping stu- dents and teachers with 21st-century digital competencies, partner universities can contribute to solving global challenges and organizing pilot projects. In line with the overall project aims, this article presents the ongoing digital transformation activi- ties, courses, and research in the project, which have been carried out by the five partner universities since 2020, and briefly discusses the results. This article pres- ents a summary of the research and educational activities carried out within two parts: complementary research and pilot projects.
