Didactics & Scenarios

The Moodle course represents THE central, digital learning space for students, where they can find everything they need for their digital studies. With the help of the possibilities in Moodle, online teaching can also take place almost completely asynchronously.

Videos are a popular learning medium for students. They allow flexible learning, repetition, preparation and follow-up, illustration, etc. If part of the content delivery takes place in video form, design space can be created for more interaction in live teaching formats.

In order to conduct courses in an online live format instead of on-site at the university, there are various implementation options depending on the type of course. We recommend using online meetings carefully and trying to make them interactive.

One of the challenges in purely online teaching is often the feeling of having a kind of black box in front of you. This means that there is no interaction, no back channel, no connection, which usually happens all by itself in face-to-face courses that take place on site at the university. Get ideas on how to meet this challenge.

Depending on the character of the course, different scenarios are conceivable in hybrid teaching. In the case of synchronously organised online participation, the course can be presentation-based or more interactive. Online participation can also be organised asynchronously. Or online and on-site participation may be organised alternately. These different scenarios also result in different didactic and technical considerations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have received a lot of public attention with the free release of the chatbot ChatGPT. It quickly became clear that AI will also have an impact on higher education. This currently gives rise to many questions. We have compiled a collection of links to web resources that have already emerged as information offerings and that we consider helpful to familiarise yourself with the topic.
