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 2024 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.

On the course page, all courses are first displayed in the overview. You have the option of making a selection via the three subject areas (Basics of university and media didactics, Media-related skills, Personal skills and Contexts). In addition, a full text search is possible via the free field. You can always return to the overview page via the "All offers" tab. At the bottom of the website you will also find a calendar in which all course dates are listed and can be selected directly.

The eTeach courses are free of charge for all participants and can be booked via the respective course description. We use a new event management system that makes it easier for us to coordinate bookings and communicate with you.* The respective course description provides you with information on the objectives and content of the course as well as the expected prerequisites, required materials and the lecturers themselves. In addition, it is noted whether there are still places available and on which date the registration deadline has been set.

After registering for a course, you will receive an e-mail with your user name and password. This access data allows you to log in to the event management system and find out which courses you have registered for, which courses you have already attended, etc.

If you are unable to attend a course, please cancel in good time via the event tool so that interested participants on the waiting list can automatically move up.

Teaching and learning videos in higher education Part I-III

Target direction: Teaching and learning videos are now an established part of university teaching. Their possible uses are as varied as their formats. They can be used for self-learning, for preparation and follow-up work or even in courses themselves. The video, its content and structure must always be sensibly embedded in the overall didactic concept.

In a mix of self-study units, joint online and face-to-face sessions and independent application, the course provides an initial foundation for the didactically meaningful use as well as the conception and production of teaching and learning videos.

At the end of the course - depending on the interests of the individual participants - they may have their first finished educational video, their first own shooting plan or even just a deeper knowledge of the didactically meaningful uses of teaching and educational videos

Learning objectives:

As a participant

  • get to know didactically useful scenarios for using videos in teaching
  • deal with the planning, conception and practical implementation of learning videos
  • develop a filming plan for your own educational video project and, if necessary, produce an initial educational video

This course comprises three dates plus a self-study component. By registering, you are automatically registered for all three dates

Relation to other courses: The course provides a practical foundation for the didactically meaningful use, design and implementation of teaching-learning scenarios with a focus on video application and production. It is therefore an important point of reference for other, topic-specific offers in the eTeach course program. 

Competence level and prerequisites: Beginners, information on the required software will be announced in advance.
Implementation: online via the BigBlueButton conference platform and one attendance date; plus self-study component;
