Starter Kit Teaching and Learning

The workshop aims at providing an introduction to teaching and learning at higher education institutions. Especially colleagues, who are beginning to teach but have no prior experience will find first orientation and support. More experienced instructors who want to refresh their knowledge and engage in exchange with colleagues may also participate. The topics will include:

• Overview of basics of higher education pedagogy (learning theories, student-centred teaching, constructive alignment, active learning)

• What are great learning experiences made of?

• Participants’ challenges: focus on your specific questions, starting to find your own teaching philosophy

• and first transfer to your teaching.

This workshop will be very interactive, we will use different methods and tools and discuss teaching approaches in the online, blended and traditional classroom. Your questions and challenges will be at the centre – therefore you’ll be asked to answer a few questions about your learning goals in the run-up to the workshop.
