Digital Teaching Exchange HSZG (for lecturers) - Topic: Learning with problems - not fooling with solutions
In collaboration with the Center for eLearning (zfe) and the D2C2 digitization project, which is part of the Office of the Vice President for Education and International Affairs, we have established a program in which HSZG faculty members from across all departments can share their experiences with digital teaching to promote the exchange of best practices. At the heart of each regular online meeting is a 10-minute presentation by a faculty member or a research assistant from a project with a pedagogical focus. Participants have the opportunity to ask specific questions of the presenters, contribute their own ideas, receive inspiration for their own teaching, and engage in discussion with one another.

Topic: Learning from Problems—Not Deceiving with Solutions: Problem-Based Learning as a Contemporary Approach in the Age of AI [Daniel Winkler]
How can students truly learn when answers can be generated at any time? Generative AI systems like ChatGPT challenge our teaching practices—but perhaps they also provide a good reason to rethink our pedagogy. After all, concepts like Problem-Based Learning (PBL) do not rely on the mere reproduction of knowledge, but rather on independent thinking, critical reflection, and collaborative problem-solving—precisely those skills that are indispensable in the age of AI.
In a keynote presentation, we’ll explore how PBL can help us meaningfully guide the use of AI tools like ChatGPT rather than banning them, and what opportunities problem-based learning formats offer for higher education. Afterward, we’ll come together for a moderated discussion to explore:
- What experiences have you had with PBL in your own teaching?
- How can assignments be designed so that AI is used as a learning aid rather than a crutch?
- What do instructors need to successfully implement PBL in the context of AI?
This exchange is open to anyone seeking effective, forward-looking teaching strategies—with or without AI.
