Practical example
|
The project developed a structured teaching script for the subject of Water Supply / Water Purification, which students can use as a central basis for self-study. The content has a modular structure and has been prepared in such a way that it can be used flexibly and transferred into interactive formats (e.g. H5P) in the future. The aim is to support self-directed learning and improve the integration of self-study and classroom teaching.
The teaching of complex content in water and wastewater technology is often strongly lecture-based, while at the same time students' prior knowledge is heterogeneous. Particularly in international contexts, there is also the challenge of providing content in a way that is understandable, flexible and independent of the specific teaching format. At the same time, there has been a lack of structured, digital materials that are suitable for self-directed learning.
The aim was to develop modular, digital teaching materials that systematically prepare subject-specific content and at the same time support self-directed learning. By structuring the content and preparing it for interactive formats (e.g. H5P), the aim is to strengthen subject-specific skills and promote interdisciplinary skills such as self-organisation and independent learning. At the same time, access to teaching is improved through flexible and internationally applicable materials.
- Basic structuring of the course content
- Access to Moodle as a learning platform
- Use of H5P to create interactive content
- Time resources for initial conception and preparation
- Support from student or research assistants if necessary
The existing teaching content was first systematically structured and converted into a consistent script. The content was organised into clearly delineated chapters that allow for modular use.
Suitable learning content has been identified for each chapter and compiled in such a way that it is suitable for self-study and supports independent development of the content.
The materials were made available to students via Moodle to accompany the lecture and were used for independent study and consolidation of the content as well as exam preparation. Reference was made to individual chapters in the course. Feedback from students was used to further adapt and optimise content.
The structure of the script is specifically designed so that the content can be converted into interactive tasks (e.g. H5P) in a next step to enable students to receive immediate feedback on their learning progress. Individual sections are suitable, for example, for the development of learning videos or interactive comprehension questions with direct feedback. In this way, the script can be further developed into a digitally supported self-study format that can be easily combined with classroom lectures.
As part of the project, a comprehensive teaching script was developed for the subject Water Supply / Water Purification, which serves as a central basis for self-study. The script has a modular structure and is organised into clearly defined thematic units.
We hope that the practical examples will be viewed critically, utilised and developed further and thus remain alive.
