Embarking on my Open Educational Resources (OER) journey

I’m excited to share a new chapter in my teaching journey: the creation of Open Educational Resources (OER). As a lecturer at Graz University of Technology, I’ve always sought innovative ways to make complex topics accessible and engaging for students—particularly those from Electrical Engineering and Information and Computer Engineering backgrounds. Now, I’m extending this mission beyond the classroom by contributing to the world of OER. I try to keep my OERs up to date on my OER page.

OERs are free and openly licensed educational materials that allow educators and learners to adapt, share, and build upon content. They represent a decisive shift toward more inclusive and flexible learning opportunities. By creating OERs, I hope to contribute resources that support my students and empower educators and learners worldwide.

This initiative will apply to all the courses I teach. The full list of courses is on my teaching page.

Stay tuned as I continue to expand this collection, and feel free to reach out if you have feedback or ideas. Let’s make learning accessible to all—together.

Tobias Scheipel

I am a postdoctoral researcher and teacher at the Embedded Architectures & Systems Group at the Institute of Technical Informatics, Graz University of Technology. I conducted my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Marcel Baunach and graduated sub auspiciis Praesidentis rei publicae. You can find my dissertation here.

My research focuses on flexible and runtime-reconfigurable FPGA-based microcontroller architectures for embedded systems based on RISC-V. This involves hardware/software codesign strategies for both processor logic and embedded operating systems.

Apart from my research, I teach students how a CPU works, how to program embedded systems, how to write scientific publications, and how to create their own CPU.
