After 2014, the 2017 Teaching Day will once again address the topic of quality development in teaching and learning. While the participants of the 2014 Teaching Day still dealt with the fundamental question of what good teaching entails, this year's Teaching Day will focus on the university-specific system for quality development that is currently being set up and the preparations for its accreditation. Successful system accreditation will enable our university to regularly review and further develop its degree programs via an internal university procedure rather than by various agencies.
On Wednesday, May 10, 2017 from 2:15 pm, we cordially invite you to the Teaching Day! The theme of this year's central university event is "On the way to system accreditation".
A topic with university-wide relevance: independent agencies have been accrediting our university's degree programs for more than ten years. This practice is soon to be replaced by accreditation of the university-wide quality management system, which is currently being set up.
- What is meant by >>system accreditation<<?
- Where does our university stand in this process of change?
- What still needs to be done?
- What motives are being pursued with the new orientation? Which areas of the university are primarily affected?
A premiere: The procedure for assessing our degree programs (concept status), which has been developed in recent months by an internal university working group and will replace the previous program accreditation of the agencies, will be presented to the university public for the first time.
A new format: this year you can follow this event simultaneously at both university locations. With the support of the Zfe, the contributions and speeches will be transmitted between the Görlitz and Zittau campuses. If possible, please use the Görlitz venue.
