• The digital workshop series was closely aligned with the needs of the participants. In the run-up to the event, students studying to become teachers and lateral entrants were able to vote on their preferred topics. Ultimately, the workshop series consisted of the topics Schullogin (school login), digital tools for use in school, copyright and data protection law, and Moodle.
• The main topics were held by lecturers as well as specialist employees of TU Dresden. The organization and moderation was done by the BQL.Digital team.
• Flexible training and follow-up:
  All workshops could be visited online in the afternoon hours and are also saved for posterity as video recordings plus slides in a protected area in OPAL. For access, write a short email to

In the project seminar “Escape from your classroom! Digitally inclusive teaching and learning”, offered for the first time during the 2021 summer semester, students worked independently with open educational resources asynchronously on the topics of inclusion and digitalization in blended learning, followed by a synchronous phase in which the students themselves designed digitally inclusive teaching projects. As a result of the seminar evaluation by the students, the approach was revised and the seminar was held again in the winter semester 2021/2022.

As a substitute for the in-person course, students were given a weekly CORONA PACKAGE in Opal. 

The CORONA PACKAGE included an asynchronous lecture series, literature excerpts, links to further websites or architectural offices, interviews from professional journals, film material and other media. 

Due to the variety of media, the independent studying was to be designed in the most entertaining and exploratory way possible. In lieu of the end-of-semester examination, students applied the content learned from the corona packages on-site in the city. They installed an urban mini intervention in urban space to cause a temporary irritation in the everyday life of the passersby. The spatial installations were documented and presented in a gallery.

Workshop learning is considered a compromise between open and bound learning concepts. In its openness, it picks up on the heterogeneity in the learning groups. At the same time, in the context of an interdisciplinary course, it can accommodate the diversity of instructors in terms of how they design their courses.
