Dissemination of the research results from the project ‘Innovative (digital) teaching and learning concepts and possibilities for their implementation using the example of the Technical University of Nuremberg’
Subject
The IHF has been commissioned by the Bavarian Ministry of Science to provide conceptual and scientific support for the development of a future-oriented teaching and learning concept at the UTN, with particular, but not exclusive, consideration of digital teaching and learning formats. This assignment includes analysing previous innovative digital teaching and learning concepts (in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and attractiveness) as well as a selection of international best practices from (technical) universities with pioneering concepts. The project was concluded with the handover of the final report. The focus of this project phase is the dissemination of the project's key findings.
Research questions
Which digital teaching/learning formats (e.g. collaborative learning, active learning strategies) are suitable for increasing the effectiveness, efficiency and attractiveness of interdisciplinary degree programmes with a focus on natural sciences or engineering?
How should a graduate school be conceptualised and staffed with regard to innovative teaching and learning?
What technical requirements are necessary to optimally support technology-supported teaching and learning within and between disciplines (e.g. learning management systems)?
What concepts are universities worldwide pursuing to support students with special needs, such as female students in engineering (keyword: diversity, equity, inclusion)?
What strategies are promising for attracting international students?
