Support the development of digital skills in an integrative and methodical way
In addition to subject-specific content, digital skills must also be increasingly developed among students in teaching. When it comes to the concrete planning and implementation of a class / course, dealing with digitalization and existing competence models for digital skills can quickly become overwhelming. In the planning and implementation of the class / course, even simple but also more extensive, digital and analog methodological changes can support the development of digital skills.

This two-part workshop explores how the development of digital literacy among students—regardless of their field of study—can be integrated into existing teaching practices. To this end, we will first establish a general understanding of these competencies and explore their necessity in the context of the digital transformation. This is a welcome opportunity for you to reflect on your understanding of competence and your role as an instructor.
Subsequently, we will collaboratively explore various approaches that appear suitable for addressing this challenge. These include action-oriented teaching formats, such as project-based or problem-based learning, the implementation of blended learning, as well as a variety of smaller, quick-to-implement micro-methods. We will collectively reflect on the potential and limitations of these methods for teaching focused on students’ digital competencies.
Between workshop sessions, participants will develop their own course plans and concepts. In a final session, the approaches will be presented and discussed with peers.
