Second discussion paper within the series "Potentials and challenges of digital higher education"

In traditional German university culture, teaching as an exclusively digital teaching and learning process in virtual space was neither planned nor conceptually defined and was even criticized in some cases - until the Corona pandemic forced all those involved in the university context to rethink the university as a place for digital education overnight.

The Center for Quality Analysis (ZQA) at the TU Dresden conducted studies in the summer semester of 2020 to provide information on the challenges that higher education, teachers and students are facing as a result of the pandemic. A dossier entitled "Potentials and Challenges of Digital Higher Education", which is now published on a regular basis, aims to provide a step-by-step aasessment of these and other questions.

The second discussion paper in the series, entitled "Selbstreguliertes Lernen hoch zwei", focuses on the students' perspective and presents results on the following questions: What challenges do students face in the course of predominantly digital studies and how can they be adequately supported in achieving teaching and learning goals with regard to their existing skills and competencies and potential deficits?
