"Teachers at Saxon universities are experts in their discipline, and it is the task of the Saxon Center for Higher Education Didactics (HDS) to train them to become teaching experts.
The aim of all HDS offers is to enable good teaching and successful learning at universities. This is done both in a demand-oriented manner on the basis of requests that are brought to us and by bringing national and international trends in teaching development to the Saxon higher education landscape.
The HDS office sees itself as a competence center for university didactics and as a service facility for all Saxon universities."
