Two years of "Digital Teaching Exchange" at the HSZG offer inspiring insights into the world of digital teaching methods: a review and outlook.
It is not new that the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences has a real treasure trove of committed lecturers and a large number of innovative teaching/learning concepts and examples of good practice. In order to meet the desire of many lecturers for more cross-disciplinary / cross-location exchange, the collegial (online) discussion format "Exchange Digital Teaching HSZG" was launched in the winter semester 2022/2023 as part of the HSZG action plan adopted by the Vice-Rector for Education and International Affairs Prof.in Dr.in rer. pol.
In cooperation with the Centre for eLearning (zfe) and the Saxon digitization project D2C2, a service has been established over the past two years in which lecturers at the HSZG can exchange information on digital teaching methods across faculties and thus accelerate the transfer of innovative best-practice approaches. The regular online meetings have become an integral part of the knowledge exchange. Each session is enriched by a 10-minute specialist input with a didactic reference by a lecturer from the HSZG. This input serves as the basis for a subsequent discussion in which participants can ask questions, share their own experiences and gain valuable ideas for their teaching activities.
The main topics of the now more than two dozen meetings were digital teaching formats from blended learning to hybrid teaching, interaction and motivation in teaching, digital tools and platforms, artificial intelligence and digital transformation, transition and introduction to studies as well as didactic innovations and challenges. The OPAL course accompanying the event provides an overview of details on the topics, the speakers and further information on the format.
From October, we will be launching further episodes of the diverse exchange format on digital teaching formats, methods and tools, AI, e-assessments, future skills as well as challenges and tips for the digitalization of studying and teaching.
It starts with the following dates:
Date 1:

Topic: studienerfolg@saxHAW at the HSZG (the project introduces itself)
