Digital Workspace (for teachers): Basics for the promotion of digital skills in teaching (2025)

Digital skills in university teaching have been increasingly in focus, and not just since ChatGPT. These interdisciplinary skills affect all areas of life and work and require new approaches for integration into existing teaching concepts. In view of the rapidly changing world of work, topics such as AI and data security, as well as communication and collaboration, must be dynamically integrated into teaching.
This (self-learning) digital workspace offers a clarification of relevant terms and topics as well as approaches to the design of educational settings. What you can expect:

• Introduction to and overview of the subject area of competence/future skills/digital competence
• A look at your own level of digital competence and ways to improve it
• Suggestions for integration into your own teaching based on tried and tested teaching concepts
• Approaches for creating your own concepts and specific offers for students to develop skills in a subject-specific context

The continuing education programme is highly customizable. It is a combination of asynchronous self-study units and needs-based process-related advice/exchange offers. You decide for yourself on the individual focus and which learning units / tasks are in focus for you (principle: market of opportunities).

What is a digital workspace?
In open workshop formats, all actors involved in the implementation of teaching at the partner universities (see below) can work on the conception and development of digital media-supported teaching-learning scenarios. By drawing on a wide range of expertise and exchanging ideas with peers, they not only expand their individual skills, but also directly implement a concretely planned project in the field of digital university teaching. This creates direct added value for the teachers themselves and the universities as a whole.
