Tanja Jadin

Tanja Jadin is a Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria, working at the Research Center Hagenberg within the School of Informatics, Communications and Media. She leads the Knowledge Media and Engineering department and specializes in digital transformation, educational technology, and knowledge media. Her work focuses on developing innovative educational approaches that integrate digital technologies with traditional teaching methodologies.

Dr. Jadin's research interests center on Digital Education, Online Learning, Open Educational Resources (OER), Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), and the integration of Artificial Intelligence in educational contexts. She has developed numerous educational frameworks including hybrid learning paths, workplace-integrated learning systems for smart factories, and individualized learning environments. Her work bridges the gap between theoretical educational research and practical implementation in higher education institutions.

Her publication trends reveal a consistent focus on the evolving relationship between technology and education, with recent work emphasizing AI applications in teaching and learning. The 2023-2025 publications show a clear trajectory toward integrating artificial intelligence into educational frameworks while maintaining a strong foundation in open educational resources and social innovation. Her work addresses both theoretical aspects of digital education and practical implementation challenges faced by institutions.

Dr. Jadin has led multiple significant research projects including Intelligent Hybrid Learning (iHL), Hybrid Learning Path development, Empirical Social Research iMooX, ALeS (Workplace-Integrated Learning in Smart Factory), and chabaDoo (individual learning spaces). These projects demonstrate her commitment to developing practical, evidence-based educational solutions that address contemporary challenges in higher education.

Her work extends to educational leadership through the development of certification frameworks for OER implementation in Austrian higher education institutions, showing her influence on educational policy and institutional change. She regularly presents her research findings at conferences and workshops, contributing to the broader educational technology community through knowledge sharing and collaborative development.
