Module III

Module III – Teaching and Assessment I

Aachen

In this module, participants learn about well-founded teaching concepts in both an analogue and a digital "teaching-learning-testing-evaluation" context. Based on the theoretical principles of learning and teaching, they will develop helpful concepts for (their own) large group and seminar courses and adapt them to their own situational context.

As both teaching backgrounds and experiences with digital teaching differ greatly among participants, a part of the module is reserved for elective courses from which participants can make their own personal choice in advance.

The module demonstrates how analogue and digital knowledge transfer can take place using activating methods. Teaching phases and different types of participant activation are presented alternating in a sandwich-like structure.

Relations between curricular development (with reference to Kern's Cycle from Module 1), the planning and implementation of a course and the structurally and legally correct implementations of examinations are demonstrated, tried out and discussed. At the end of the module, participants will have experienced the diversity of teaching, examination and evaluation first-hand.
