Blended Learning Programme Lehre am Start
Lehre am Start is a three-month blended learning programme for lecturers who would like to start teaching at Leuphana and who are currently teaching their own course or plan to do so in the near future. In a compact form, the participants will acquire the basic higher education didactic knowledge for the planning and organisation of their own courses, for the assessment of examinations and for the feedback and communication in teaching. The programme is entirely in German.
The programme is expected to be offered in the winter semester of 2026/27. The structure and content will be announced on this website as soon as possible.
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.
We will be happy to add interested parties to a list.
