Blended Learning Programme Lehre am Start

On successful completion, participants will have

• be familiar with the formulation of learning objectives and basic aspects of good media-supported teaching,
• be familiar with a range of planning models, methods and tools to support collaborative teaching and apply them to their course planning,
• acquire the basics of learning objectives-based assessment and apply them in an assessment grid for their course,
• be familiar with different ways of providing feedback and communication as a design element of teaching and reflect on their own communication and feedback preferences
• have an overview of central didactic decisions in the planning and implementation of teaching and can take their first reflective steps in teaching.

The programme has a modular structure and covers fundamental issues in teaching design. Synchronous on-campus workshops are complemented by asynchronous task-based preparation and/or follow-up. A Moodle course is available for this purpose, which also serves as a central communication platform. The workshops, which take place approximately every two weeks, are designed to deepen knowledge, provide practice and enable application.

The final task of the programme is to create a course concept for one's own teaching (e.g. a syllabus), including a reflection on the didactic choices made during its creation.

Planning Teaching (7 WU)

In the module "Planning Teaching" participants work with selected planning models and practise formulating learning objectives in a skills-focused way against a background of constructive alignment. Participants learn about the different levels of planning and didactic decision-making concepts and apply these to their own course descriptions. This includes reflection on their role as a teacher.

Feedback and Communication (5 WU)

In the module "Feedback & Communication" participants learn about feedback as a fundamental component of teaching and learning and can implement appropriate methods to support learning in a meaningful way. This includes designing feedback to students that is conducive to learning and promoting peer feedback as a learning element.

Conducting Teaching (7 WU)

In the "Conducting Teaching" module, participants are given suggestions on how to move from the objectives to the methodological design of their teaching. Participants are given an overview of blended learning and the interlocking of synchronous and asynchronous units. In addition, they will be inspired to use Leuphana's digital and AI tools in their own teaching in a way that promotes learning. In a hands-on workshop phase, they will try out how to use these tools in a didactically reflective way.

Challenges in Teaching (5 WU)

In the “Challenges in Teaching” module, participants are presented with difficult teaching situations to reflect on in the context of their own teaching experience. Using the structured method of peer counselling, they develop ideas for solutions to their own teaching challenges.

Examination and Grading (5 WU)

In the module "Examination and Grading" the participants learn about different assessment criteria, their weighting and the operationalisation of learning objectives on the basis of examples of assessment grids for written and combined academic work. They apply this to their own course and create an assessment grid. At the same time, participants are encouraged to reflect on the specificities of the subject culture when conducting examinations.

The programme cannot take place due to an insufficient number of registrations.

We will be happy to add interested parties to a list and inform you if the programme is offered again.
