In this practical example, digital teaching and learning videos are combined with real-world research and application examples to actively engage students in the learning process. Students first analyse problems using methods they are already familiar with, identify the limitations of these methods, and then develop their own solution strategies using newly introduced approaches. Through ...
The completely new online course „Logical Argumentation“ is being developed at Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences as part of a grant from the eTeach Network Thuringia. The course is aimed at students of all disciplines on Bachelor's degree programmes and teaches the basics of logical thinking and argumentative reasoning.
Practicals are important elements of natural science and engineering degree programmes. By adapting the procedures in the basic practical course in physics at the TU Ilmenau, we have ensured that attendance time is utilised more efficiently. By providing additional, experiment-specific teaching materials in advance and a list of specific practical exercises, we ...
Part-time students on the distance learning nursing science programmes (Bachelor's and Master's) in the Department of Health and Nursing have relatively short attendance times at the university; the focus of knowledge and skills acquisition is on self-study. The attendance periods take place in blocks. The attendance time should ...
Work placements are a central component of science education. They combine theory with application and support students in acquiring specialised and practical laboratory skills. However, traditional practicals are often time and resource intensive and limited by restricted access to large laboratory equipment. In order to minimise attendance time ...
In the summer semester of 2025, a practice-oriented teaching concept was trialled as part of the „Digital Burnout“ project module, which combined photography, artificial intelligence and digital platforms. The starting point was the assumption that the digital space is not only a technical environment, but also a ...
The aim of the project was to develop a practical, digital learning programme for the application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). The idea was to use ICF! to create a multimedia, modular and competence-orientated self-learning concept that could be used in courses and ...
Before the start of every chemistry lab course, students are required to attend a mandatory safety briefing. With the help of an additional online-supported self-study course, the time in the laboratory can be used more effectively, while at the same time more in-depth information can be imparted asynchronously. The self-study course was developed for the learning management system ...
The basics of various related disciplines are taught at the beginning of the social work degree programme. Among other things, students are familiarised with sociological issues, learn theoretical concepts and apply these to practical issues in various fields of social work. With the help of the flipped classroom concept ...
Learning content is conveyed to students by means of short video films (3-10 minutes long). Detailed description Topics are taken up from the lecture or on request. The learning videos serve to support and supplement what has already been learnt or to make content available online.
