Qualification courses

The eTeach courses are aimed at teachers at Thuringian universities and other interested parties who would like to learn more about media-enhanced teaching, learning and assessment. The 2025 course portfolio revolves around fundamental knowledge and application-related scenarios of digital teaching, especially on the topic of artificial intelligence.

The courses are free of charge and take place in person, online or hybrid. Once you have registered, you will be informed of all further course details.

With the eTeach course program, we offer a thematic spectrum that is divided into three areas of competence: In the area of Basics deals with theoretical, conceptual and legal basics for media-enriched teaching, learning and testing, which are an important foundation for well-structured, data-secure and didactically meaningful, media-related courses. The area Media-related skills includes courses that deal explicitly with media-enriched applications and settings in teaching. In addition to teaching, the main focus is on testing and adapting to individual teaching and learning settings. In the area of Personal skills and contexts focuses on the individual, social and socially relevant framework conditions of teaching, learning and testing. Core target group of the eTeach courses are lecturers at Thuringian universities. We also welcome participants who work in competence centers and service areas as well as professors and newly appointed professors at Thuringian universities.

The eTeach courses take place in presence, hybrid or online (conference platform BigBlueButton). You will receive the relevant information via the course description or in advance of the event. We endeavor to meet the possibilities of our lecturers and the needs of the participants and act flexibly as required. You will ALWAYS be informed in advance of any changes to the venue. The courses are planned as half-day courses or 90-minute events and may be accompanied by a Moodle room, in which you will be automatically enrolled upon participation. All courses are concluded with an evaluation at the end, which you can use to leave feedback on the event.
