In the area of studying and teaching, the university aims to further develop its teaching and learning formats by integrating digital spaces, tools, methods and media. In coordination with the schools, a requirement-oriented, interdisciplinary curriculum for promoting digital literacy is to be developed and anchored in the degree programmes. Particular attention is to be paid to teacher training. On a strategic level, innovative teaching-learning scenarios based on digitally enriched classroom teaching will be developed, tested and evaluated for use. The University Didactics Team in the Presidential Department for Study Affairs provides demand-oriented training and consulting services to instructors seeking to design and thoughtfully integrate digital elements into teaching and learning formats in the degree programmes.

Strategic measures:

• Innovating digital examination as well as teaching and learning formats
• Anchoring digital literacy in curricula
• Expanding needs-based training and advisory services

Upon evaluating the findings of a needs assessment for the advancement of digital teaching initiated as early as 2018, and shaped by the experience of the coronavirus pandemic, the university has begun implementing concrete measures to permanently increase the quality of digital teaching across all disciplines. The participation of all stakeholders involved in studying and teaching, particularly with regard to aspects of diversity and equality, is to be the guiding principle for action.

Prioritised measures:

• Improving staffing, infrastructural and technical prerequisites for digital teaching and learning
• Introducing a central information and advisory portal for topics involving digital teaching and learning that integrates existing services
• Expanding the state-level support and service network for issues related to digital teaching and learning
