u:rise is a university-wide and cross-service unit service. It is based on Moodle, the e-learning platform of the University of Vienna. The operation of u:rise is run by the department for Talent Acquisition and Development (service unit for Human Resources and Gender Equality) and the e-learning staff unit of the ZID.
The portal combines a booking platform with a course administration platform (classic Moodle functionality). Courses can be linked to a Moodle course if required, for example to share documents and provide certificates.
In addition to the ZID, 5 other units of the University of Vienna currently offer events in u:rise. In order to search the extensive range of courses according to your own needs, u:rise offers access via the communities pages. Communities represent different target groups, for which filtered course offerings and user-relevant information can be displayed.
During the summer semester, employees and students can use u:rise to choose from an extensive IT course programme. The range of courses extends from classic Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to programs for graphic, photo, and video editing (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Premiere) and the basics of web design (HTML, CSS).
In addition, tutorials are offered for study-related software, such as statistics and data analysis tools (SPSS, MaxQDA, ATLAS.ti, Stata), programs for mathematical calculations (Mathematica, MatLab), and visualisation tools (LaTeX, Quarto).
Furthermore, the programming languages Python 3 and R can be learned.
