E-Learning Roundtable

Sharing Experiences and Networking

Find out which concepts, methodological approaches, and tools in the field of digital teaching and learning are successfully used in other departments. Let yourself be inspired and take the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues.

Open Format

The “E-Learning Roundtable” is an open format in which those active and interested in E-Learning from the TU Darmstadt and other Hessian universities can participate (within the network HessenHub ).

Some dates are also open to European colleagues from the UNITE context.

Our “E-Learning Roundtable” offers regular opportunities to share experiences and get inspirations for digital teaching.

Each meeting focuses on a specific topic related to digital teaching. One or more inputs are given by instructors, students, or staff who report on their experiences or planned projects in this field. There is also sufficient time for questions and to share further experiences.

Mostly, the E-Learning roundtable takes place online.

E-Learning Roundtable: Dates in the Winter Semester 2024/25

3 – 4:00 p.m.: Marc Pinski & Miguel-Jose Haas (Chair of “Information Systems and E-Services”, TU Darmstadt)

As part of the E-Learning Roundtable / the HessenHub Digital Coffee Break, you will learn how you can use TocoAI, an interactive AI assistant, to playfully grasp basic AI concepts. The app offers a blend of educational content, games, and interactive tools that help you understand various topics related to AI.

The app is being developed by Marc Pinski and Miguel-Jose Haas from the Chair of “Information Systems and E-Services” at TU Darmstadt.

3 – 4:00 p.m.: Lukas Weingarten (Particify GmbH)

The online tool “Particify” is an attractive, simple, and privacy-friendly alternative to Mentimeter and similar tools. With this feedback tool, live polls with prepared questions (also in a playful “quiz” format) can be conducted, and live feedback can be collected using ad-hoc questions. The Q&A (Question & Answer) function also allows for addressing questions and contributions from students. All functions can be used either live or for pre- or post-event activities. The tool offers an intuitive interface and supports a variety of question types as well as the integration of formulas, tables, and images.

Particify is the successor to the ARSNova tool developed at THM and is provided by the spin-off Particify GmbH in a free basic version that offers extensive features and can be used without registration. The E-Learning Round Table provides an opportunity to get to know Particify in more detail.

3 – 4:30 p.m.: Markus Weber & Felix Hoch (E-Learning Group)

With the help of 360° panoramic images, a digital and authentic all-around view of a real environment can be achieved. They offer the opportunity to gain insights into existing learning spaces, such as laboratories or workshops, and to enrich them interactively.

At the E-Learning Stammtisch, you will discover various examples from different disciplines where digital 360° scenarios have been integrated into online self-assessments (OSA) in a playful, story-based format. The goal is to engage prospective students in a targeted manner and provide them with an even better impression of the university and their desired degree program.
