Networking workshop of the Digital Teaching Construction and Environment team

Since June 2023, our networking workshops have been held several times a year for all interested lecturers and students in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The aim is to get to know new and familiar topics related to digital teaching, suitable tools, experience reports and informative input from experts and colleagues as well as to exchange ideas with other committed and interested participants from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The workshops and a corresponding newsletter in advance are each thematically focused on digital teaching and will continue to take place approximately quarterly.
