About ourselves

Orkhan Jalilov

"As an educational scientist at the Faculty of Education, I was able to gain interesting experience in exciting projects by implementing various educational technologies, in particular the development of online courses and AI mentoring in various contexts. I specialise in AI, media didactics and production, virtual learning environments, etc."

Kira Lauber

"As a university and media didactician, I deal with the conception and design of teaching and the selection of suitable media and methods. Digitalisation expands the spectrum from which teachers can choose. My consulting focus is also on (digital) skills in teaching, digital examinations and qualitative teaching evaluation."

Lisa Hübner

"As an ancient historian and theologian, I am interested in the integration of digital methods in the humanities, especially in analysing historical sources in the context of digital humanities. In the Digital Teaching team, I work on diversity-sensitive teaching concepts, podcast production and university didactics onboarding." Learn more

Last year, the Digital Teaching team in the GSW department developed a concept for digitally supported teaching. The focus is on designing teaching and learning scenarios with the help of digital elements that can be used both face-to-face and virtually or in a combination of both. The central objective is to optimize learning processes and outcomes in order to both facilitate access to academic teaching for different target groups and to interest the widest possible range of prospective students in the humanities and social sciences courses offered at the TUD. The team would like to thank the GSW department, the ZiLL and the Vice-Rectorate Education for their valuable feedback.
