Vienna University of Technology´s E-Learning Centre introduced Moodle in 2006 as the university´s central learning management system. Custom interfaces to existing IT infrastructure as well as modules developed and deployed according to user´s needs provide for a seamless digital workflow in the university´s teaching, learning and organisational processes. Encouraging the use of the LMS as a multi-purpose tool to support all kinds of co-operation and communication activities in addition to curricular teaching led to a rapid and significant increase in user numbers and encouraged university teachers to deal with educational questions and to develop innovative learning and teaching solutions, based on the LMS
