Shaping studies & teaching in the digital age
„...theaveragestudent in a classroomwheretechnologyisusedwill perform 12 percentilepointshigherthantheaveragestudent in the traditional settingthatdoes not usetechnologytoenhancethelearningprocess“ (Tamim et al., 2011, S. 17)
Using the potential – for a change in teaching and learning • Superior teaching & learning methods • More flexibility • More inidividualization • In preparation for the working world
Scenarios ... Enrichment of f2f teaching & learning ... Integration in f2f-scenarios ... For online learning-scenarios ... To foster communication & collaboration ... For an open educational practice (OER) ... Gamification & simulation ... For more personalization ... To support self study
Fostering E-Learning: Experiences • the availability of digital tools for learning does not improve the quality of learning and does not change teaching and learning habits • despite heavy investments into digital technology the daily routines of teaching in schools have not changed substantially
Top down Bottom-up
Why strategies for digital transformation in HigherEd? “For the institution, the aim is not to implement digital technology, the aim is to find ways digital technology can help to increase institutional goals.”
„Strategy, not technology, drives digital transformation“
The “E-Learning Office NRW” • development of competences for teachers and instructional designers • supports network building of e-learning professionals • organization of workshops and conferences • development of digital strategies for teaching
