Introduction
Teaching forms are the different ways in which courses at universities can be organized. The choice of the appropriate teaching form depends on various factors, such as the subject discipline, the target group, the learning environment, the resources and the personal preferences of the teachers.
There are many different teaching formats, which differ in terms of their structure, scope, degree of activation and whether they are face-to-face or online. Traditional teaching formats include lectures, seminars, tutorials, practicals and projects. Each teaching format has its own strengths and weaknesses that need to be taken into account.
We give you an overview of the most common teaching formats, the forms of course structuring and special forms of teaching design. You will also find examples, tips and suggestions on how you can design and improve your courses using different teaching formats. We hope that you will find inspiration and support for your teaching here.
