You can register until 20 October 2025. Find out more on the Teaching Service's 'Intercultural Teaching Competence' website.
 

Network meetings for teachers

The teaching service initiates various networks to bring teachers together, enable them to exchange experiences and share examples of good practice: the Moodle network, the myPortfolio network and the network of teachers for special tasks (LfbA).
Become part of the networks and find out more on the Networks for Teachers website, where you will also find the latest dates.
 

Use feedback and evaluation!

Feedback and dialogue help you to involve students in teaching and to further develop your teaching: gather feedback and discuss the results with your students. You can choose between the customisable course evaluation (LVE) tools (digital questionnaire) or the qualitative feedback process Shift! (moderated dialogue). You can register for the process until 30 October: 


We look forward to an exciting and successful semester with you!

Best regards,
Your Leuphana Teaching Service
