E-learning projects designed by teaching staff at TU Dresden are eligible to receive financial support for a limited funding period.

Since the 2019/2020 funding period, the Center for Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ZiLL) has been responsible for the following tasks:

• Preparing the call for project funding applications
• Coordinating the applications and approvals
• Supervising the funded projects
• Evaluating the projects within the scope of academic support
• Connecting the projects with each other (e.g. through workshops) to ensure information exchange

Applying for project funding at TU Dresden 

The overall e-learning strategy of TU Dresden and the e-learning strategies of the individual faculties provide the basis for decisions concerning the financing of e-learning projects from the Digital Teaching and Learning Fund. These strategies are coordinated by the E-Learning Officers of the faculties and departments. 

Applications for funding must be submitted via the E-Learning-Officers of the Faculties.
