E-Didactics

In this short format, you will receive suggestions and concrete tips for designing your virtual teaching. In cooperation with colleagues from Digital Learning and Teaching, we want to address different topics related to teaching and learning in online settings in the regular Teaching Dialogues from now on, present practical tips and tricks for your teaching, and exchange ideas about your experiences. Our next Online Teaching Dialogue, OLD for short, deals with the question of how students assess the use of (generative) AI in their studies and how teaching staff can act to promote meaningful and targeted use within their own courses.

Further information and registration can be found here. As a participant, you will find the materials for the individual meetings in the StudIP course.

Workshop coordination: OLD is implemented in cooperation and with rotating responsibilities by staff members of the Digital Learning and Teaching team and the Higher Education Didactics team.

As part of the Knowledge Nuggets, once a month you have the opportunity to get to know a (new) tool that can enrich your teaching. A short input provides you with practical tips – compact and suitable for everyday use. Apply the tool directly in the presented scenarios in order to immediately try out and get to know its practical use. In an open round, there is also an opportunity for exchange, for example about needs and use of the presented tool.
