Goals
- In order to achieve the goal of expanding teachers' skills in the digital and international arena, a comprehensive continuing education and consulting programme was created, which was supported by a total of three measures implemented by NIDIT. The first two measures were #1 Digital Teaching Literacy and #2 International Teaching Training. These offerings were supplemented by complex and forward-looking technologies such as augmented and virtual reality as part of #4 Lab for Innovative Teaching. Here, too, continuing education offerings were developed and made available to teachers. Continuous #3 effectiveness and impact analysis ensured sustainable quality assurance of the teaching offerings. Not only the newly designed continuing education programmes were evaluated, but also existing programmes at the three partner universities. At the same time, the learning and teaching materials, experience reports and tutorials developed were secured and published for the partners and beyond through #5 Good Practice and Web Transfer.
- The focus of measure #1 was on teaching digital university teaching skills. This was achieved by providing appropriate innovative and proven offerings. The aim was to prepare teachers for an increasingly digitally supported study environment.
- Measure #2 aimed to train teachers, researchers and student assistants in digital and international teaching scenarios. On the one hand, training courses and events were organised for those involved in teaching and learning environments. On the other hand, support was provided to teachers at internal and external partner universities in Germany and worldwide who were interested in further developing their teaching practice.
- The systematic and continuous safeguarding of project results and quality of results through broad-based qualitative and quantitative impact and effectiveness analyses, as well as the associated sustainable contribution to high-quality digitised and international teaching programmes at universities, formed the core of measure #3.
- The aim of measure #4 was to support teachers in developing innovative teaching and learning scenarios, for example with virtual reality, augmented reality and hybrid teaching. In the Labs for Innovative Teaching, both inexperienced and experienced teachers had the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills and also work on their own projects.
- Measure #5 focused on securing and expanding existing e-learning materials and creating additional accessible digital teaching and learning materials, tutorials and explanatory videos. All e-learning materials were freely available as OER on the learning platform and helped to consolidate and deepen teachers' media and digital literacy skills.
