Sover@gn Digital Teaching and Learning

With the project "Sovereign@nes digitales Lehren und Lernen in Niedersachsen" (SOUVER@N; en: sovereign digital teaching and learning in lower saxony), recently approved by the Foundation for Innovation in Higher Education Teaching, Leuphana University Lüneburg is participating in a state-wide cooperation project with a total of 9 network partners with a duration of 2021-2024; starting in August 2021. The aim of the project is to promote sovereign digital teaching and learning. This includes 1) the sovereign, i.e. competent and learning-goal-oriented use of digital tools on the part of teachers and students (digital literacy) as well as 2) the professional development of high-quality digitally enriched teaching/learning concepts and content and 3) the digital sovereignty of the universities as institutions strengthened by the network.

With the intensive use of digital learning technologies in the past few semesters, experience and digital competences, but also didactic, legal and technical needs and requirements have increased massively. Oriented towards the goal of digital sovereignty, the partners in the network have joined forces in order to be able to meet the increased requirements in the long term by bundling their competences and services in the areas of IT basis, services and content.
