Self-study courses

With the following self-study courses, you can work individually and self-directed on a topic from the field of (digital) university teaching:

• Inclusive university teaching

  This self-study course offers you the opportunity to acquire the basics of inclusive university teaching through self-study. After participating, you will be familiar with the importance of the topic of inclusion for university teaching and will be able to assess individual courses from the perspective of "inclusive teaching". In the course, you will learn to distinguish between the individual model of disability and the social model of disability and use this distinction to identify barriers within your own teaching. Learn strategies to break down fundamental barriers in teaching! After completing the course, you will be familiar with methods that promote open communication about barriers between you and your students and will have practiced creating accessible materials using guidelines. The focus is always on practical relevance and so you will be asked to record initial application ideas for your own teaching in short exercises.

• E-learning: introduction and design

• Digital media in university teaching
  The course was developed as part of the "Digital Teaching Hand in Hand" project and is used as a self-study course in the "Digital Media in University Teaching" seminar. Created for students in this context, the course also offers teachers comprehensive further training on more general topics such as "From the idea to the teaching concept" or "Designing learning materials to promote learning", but also the opportunity to delve deeper into topics such as "Audience response systems" or "Gamification". Integrated self-tests can be used to test what has been learned.

• E-Teaching.TUD
  The "E-Teaching Basics" course is part of TU Dresden's e-teaching certificate. It serves as an introductory module and comprises 30 work units of 45 minutes each. It includes topics such as "Basics of media use", "Teaching/learning organization" and "Computer-mediated communication". The course concludes with a test in which the basic knowledge acquired is verified. No previous knowledge is required for the course, which can of course also be completed independently of the certificate.
