Implementing digitization in disciplines in a participatory way :: Competencies Connected (D2C2) is a collaborative project of 10 Saxon universities and the BA Sachsen, funded by the Foundation Innovation in University Teaching and coordinated by the Higher Education Didactic Center Saxony (HDS). The goal is evidence-based teaching development in the field of digital teaching, for which specialist networks for exchange are being established and teachers are being supported in the implementation of digital methods and tools. General information about the joint project can be found on the HDS website. (https://www.hd-sachsen.de/projekte/d2c2)
The staff of the D2C2 project is in continuous exchange with university and media didactic actors both within the HSZG (e.g. Digital Higher Education, Center for eLearning of the HSZG, University Didactics Officer) and within the Saxonian network in order to share the knowledge gained from experience and thus benefit from each other instead of "reinventing the wheel". The goal is to create offerings that meet the needs of good teaching and promote it.
Digital teaching must be thought of in subject-specific terms. As an example, D2C2 initially focuses on five subject areas of university teaching. In these subject areas, cross-university teaching-related networks and communities will be established, which are open to all interested teachers at the partner universities. It is planned to extend the results to other subject areas as the project progresses.
The coordination of the teaching networks or communities is carried out by colleagues from the respective disciplines in the respective subjects at one of the partner universities. They are the contact persons for ALL lecturers in the respective subject area and, for example, arrange contacts and organize exchange meetings.

At the HSZG, Ronny Freudenreich coordinates the Saxony-wide engineering network.
In the project network, colleagues deal with specific focal points of digitalization in teaching, the so-called Digital Turning Points. With their expertise, they support lecturers at all universities in the development of new applications and teaching-learning scenarios and work closely with the Digital Change Support colleagues at all universities.
The focus areas are as follows:
Colleagues work in Digital Change Support at all partner universities. These colleagues advise, accompany and support lecturers on site in the implementation of innovative teaching and learning scenarios, the use of digital tools and research into their own teaching (SoTL).
