Team of digital Teaching

Digitalization accompanies us in all areas of life - including teaching and studying. This change - i.e. the introduction and establishment of digitally supported teaching and learning concepts - is accompanied by many opportunities, but also many challenges. We are rethinking learning and using new teaching concepts to try and establish the integration of digital elements in face-to-face courses in order to enable more interactive and heterogeneous teaching and learning scenarios.

The Digital Teaching MN team supports teachers and students with questions and problems relating to digitally supported teaching. Our aim is to help you exploit the potential of digitalization. We want to support you in exploiting the potential of digitalization. We work with you to implement your ideas and wishes for digitally supported teaching.

Our range of tasks and support services will be tailored to the needs of the MN department and are currently being defined in detail. You are welcome to send us your questions and suggestions by email to .

Goals

The students and lecturers of the MN department have voted. Here are the top 5 goals that - according to our needs survey - should be achieved through digitally supported teaching:

Zeit- und ortsunabhängiges Lernen Schriftzug

Enable learning independent of time and place

Digital elements can be used to create hybrid and asynchronous learning scenarios. They can compensate for absences due to illness. Due to the flexibility in time and space, studying and private life are also more compatible.

Inclusion and participation

Online learning materials contribute to students being able to deal with the learning material at their own pace. In addition, accessible documents, translation tools and subtitling of video materials, as well as suitable room equipment, support inclusion in studies.

Qualitätsstandarts guter Lehre Schriftzug

Development of quality standards for good teaching

We want to emphasise that the use of digital elements should meaningfully complement and in no way replace face-to-face teaching. Regardless of the teaching format chosen, this goal requires a general willingness on the part of the teachers to continuously develop their teaching offer. We therefore support you in your efforts to expand and optimise your own teaching with digital elements.

Development of digital teaching concepts

Through digital teaching concepts, classroom and online formats can be combined in new ways to create contemporary teaching-learning scenarios and to promote individual training. Accordingly, we advocate incentive systems that encourage continuous improvement and further development (evaluation of the course and elimination of deficits) of teaching.

Support for lifelong learning

The MN department wants to enable all prospective students and students - regardless of age, origin, life situation and educational biography - to have the best possible start to their studies or to successfully complete their studies. The existing offer is to be further expanded and made even more usable for the learners by means of digital elements.

Teaching room equipment

The implementation of digitally supported teaching requires functioning technical equipment in the classrooms. Your support is also needed here! Report any needs (missing cables, projector, etc.), obstacles (WLAN is not strong enough, problems with internet connection, etc.) or non-functioning devices (microphone does not work, cable is broken, etc.) to the responsible departments listed here:

For WLAN or network problems: The Networks and Communication Services department of the ZIH is responsible here. In the event of problems, please contact the ZIH Service Desk, which will forward you to the appropriate contact person.
For problems with technical and media equipment (projector not working, cable broken): ZIH Service Desk
General inquiries about classroom/building equipment (e.g. light flickers, chairs tilt): Service Desk form D4 Lecture recordings

Technical support

The Lecture Recordings and Technical Support for Digital Teaching team from Unit 8.7 at TU Dresden(here) can advise and support you on technical issues relating to digital teaching such as lecture recordings, creating podcasts or e-lectures.

Automated lecture recordings

Magnus Ksiazek and Marco Chiabudini also offer automated lecture recordings in appropriately equipped rooms(overview here). If you have any questions about automated lecture recordings, please contact .
