Day of Teaching - January 15, 2025
Exams - Cultures in Flux
On 15 January 2025, the Day of Teaching invited you to discuss current and future perspectives on examinations in higher education. Under the theme 'Exams - Cultures in Flux', we reflected together on new ways of examining. The focus were on questions such as: Are examinations in their current form still relevant? What formats promote student learning and development? How can the design of exams be modernised, also in the light of AI and digital trends?
This year's keynote speech will be given by Prof Dr Marlit Annalena Lindner (IPN). You can also look forward to exciting presentations on examination forms, AI and other current topics related to examinations. At the interactive taster and information stands you can talk to projects and initiatives about teaching and testing, get advice and find out about new ways of organising exams. Be there when it comes to the future of Exams in the university context - in dialogue, networking and together with colleagues!

The keynote speech by Prof Dr Marlit Annalena Lindner (IPN Kiel) is dedicated to the far-reaching implications and potentials that arise from the widespread availability of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in connection with examinations and learning assessments at universities. While lecturers are faced with the question of how conventional examination formats can still be used sensibly under the new framework conditions, generative AI also offers approaches to support and relieve examinations. For example, AI can be used not only to create exam questions and sample answers more efficiently, but also to implement innovative formative exam formats that continuously support and promote learning processes. For students, AI-enabled systems can bring a new dimension of personalised learning support by adapting to individual support needs. One thing is certain: the progressive integration of AI technologies into everyday university life makes a reorientation of the examination culture and regulations inevitable in order to meet the challenges of digital transformation and to establish contemporary forms of examination.
Workshop: ‘E-Portfolio as an accompanying and examination format (in LK education) - connection or contradiction?’
von Prof. Dr. Anke Karber, Dr. Timo Beckmann, Moritz Paesche (DigiTaL TP3)
The e-portfolio has long been recognised in teacher training as a reflection-oriented work and examination format and is used to support internships in particular. Since the publication of ChatGPT and other large language models (LLM), portfolios and portfolio work have been discussed as promising examination alternatives to conventional examinations. In this workshop, e-portfolio work will be approached from the perspective of teacher education (GHR/LBS) and both the various options and contradictions will be discussed. The workshop is also intended to address other user groups of e-portfolio and portfolio work in order to contribute to the scaling and transfer of the findings from SP3. DigiTaL sub-project 3 is dedicated to the development of the e-portfolio and the integration of corresponding practices into courses.
The workshop offered as part of the Teaching Day 2025 aims to scale up the use of portfolios as an accompanying reflection tool in teacher training, especially in the combination of university courses and internships at (vocational) schools. Therefore, the workshop will be organised together with Timo Beckmann (Internship Office of the Faculty of Education) from the perspective of teacher training and the opportunities of cross-phase portfolios will be discussed.
The workshop will take place from 15:30 -16:15 in C40.154.
