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.
D2C2 focused on five departments of university teaching. Cross-university teaching-related networks and communities were established in these departments.
The coordination of the teaching networks or communities was carried out by colleagues from the respective disciplines in the respective subjects at one of the partner universities. These were the contact persons for lecturers in the respective subject area and, for example, arranged contacts and organized exchange meetings.

The HSZG coordinated the Saxony-wide engineering network.
In the project network, colleagues dealt with specific focal points of digitalization in teaching, the so-called digital turning points. With their expertise, they assisted lecturers at all universities in the development of new applications and teaching-learning scenarios and worked closely with the Digital Change Support colleagues at all universities.
Focus areas:
Colleagues worked in Digital Change Support at all partner universities. These colleagues supported the lecturers on site with the implementation of innovative teaching and learning scenarios, the use of digital tools and research into their own teaching (SoTL).
The exchange format "Digital Teaching Exchange" was also part of the on-site support. Every fortnight, the digital room opened on Friday afternoons with exciting inputs from lecturers who reported on their experiences with digital tools using practical examples. Afterwards, there was an opportunity for questions and discussion.
