Thanks to his continuously expanding theoretical and practical knowledge in the following areas: designing, planning, and implementing professional development and networking programs, as well as teaching development, supporting teaching-related institutional development, organizing evidence-based professional development programs, and project management, he is now employed at our university as a consultant for higher education pedagogy (0.5 FTE).
His main responsibilities include providing needs-based advice and support to faculty members in curriculum and program development processes; organizing continuing education programs in higher education didactics and providing subject-matter and administrative support for them; quality assurance and development for these programs, as well as conducting research and establishing contacts for project calls for proposals and programs, particularly within the Saxony-wide network of the Saxony Center for Higher Education Didactics.

“I am very grateful for the trust placed in me and, above all, I look forward to taking on the role of advisor for higher education pedagogy—in particular, to supporting good teaching and successful learning at our university with great dedication.” Daniel Winkler.
”In addition to his work as a lecturer in higher education pedagogy, he is currently serving as a research assistant on a project to design and test the European Open Academy (EurOpA) continuing education academy in the Upper Lusatia Innovation Region, and holds several teaching positions in the Faculty of Business Administration and Engineering Management.

For several years, he has also been a member of the Society for Engineering Education and the Science Center Oberlausitz (SCO-TTi).
“Faculty members at Saxon universities are experts in their disciplines; training them to become teaching experts is the mission of the Saxon Center for University Didactics (HDS).
The goal of all HDS programs is to facilitate good teaching and successful learning at universities. We achieve this both by responding to specific needs based on requests we receive and by bringing national and international trends in teaching development to Saxony’s higher education landscape.
The HDS office sees itself as a center of excellence in higher education pedagogy and as a service provider for all Saxon universities.”
