E-Didactics

In this short-format session, you will receive suggestions and concrete tips for designing your virtual teaching. In cooperation with colleagues from Digital Learning and Teaching, we will address various topics around teaching and learning in online settings in regular teaching dialogues, present practical tips and tricks for your teaching, and exchange experiences. Our next Online Teaching Dialog, short OLD, focuses on how students perceive the use of (generative) AI in their studies and how instructors can act to promote meaningful and goal-oriented use within their own courses.

Further information and registration can be found here. The materials for each session can be found in the StudIP course as a participant.

Workshop facilitation: The OLD is realized in cooperation with changing responsibilities from members of the Digital Learning and Teaching team and the Higher Education Didactics team.
