On the transformation of studying and teaching

What impact is the digital transformation having on teaching and learning at universities? Based on international recommendations (e.g. German Council of Science and Humanities, UNESCO, BMBF/BMFTR), strategic options for digital higher education, profile development and the resulting opportunities and challenges for university management, infrastructure, organisation, support systems and quality assurance will be discussed. The topics will be framed by developments in Open, Distance and Digital Education (ODDE) and linked to current educational technology and (inter)national trends.
