Digital self-learning paths to make basic teaching more flexible

Digitally supported learning paths

The project “Digital self-learning paths to make basic teaching more flexible” aims to enable flexibility in two pilot study programs in terms of temporal, methodological and spatial dimensions through innovations in digitally supported teaching.
To this end, learning paths will be successively implemented in three basic lectures in German studies, which will run parallel to face-to-face teaching. The offer parallel to face-to-face teaching is intended to enable part-time students or students who are limited in time due to care tasks, employment or illness to make their studies more flexible. Learning paths are digitally supported, successive learning units that are implemented on the Moodle learning platform and are particularly suitable for increasing flexibility in knowledge-imparting events such as lectures.
Following a didactic progression, the students deal with materials, tasks and videos. You actively collect and process knowledge in application exercises and check your learning progress in automated self-tests. All content is prepared to appeal to different learning preferences. For example, videos are also made available as reading scripts in order to meet certain learning conditions and restrictions. The learning paths offer flexibility in terms of the learning location, the learning period and repetitions and can be used parallel to the face-to-face events taking place, so that learners can choose whether they want to attend the face-to-face lecture, for example. B. to ask questions there, or to approach the content at home in the self-learning scenario learning path. The learning paths require active work from the students and can be expanded through group exchange. This enables a similar increase in learning to that achieved through face-to-face participation.
