Social check-in for the implementation of online teaching formats

After Tool 2 of the blog series "Student Wellbeing in Digital Studies" addressed ways and tools for ensuring psychosocial safety in the planning and preparation of courses, this blog post focuses on promoting student wellbeing during the delivery of courses. The focus is on synchronous online teaching using video conferencing systems, which is also playing a role at many universities after the coronavirus pandemic. Based on our interviews with students, we present ways in which a good start to an online seminar can be designed, with a focus on promoting appreciative relationships between lecturers and students as well as between students.

Last winter, Timucin Cicek, Prof. Dr. Tobias Seidl and Prof. Cornelia Vonhof from Stuttgart Media University published key findings from a student survey on the use of AI tools in the HFD blog post "Hey ChatGPT, can you help me?". Now they continue with surprising answers to the question of what continuities and changes they observed.

The campus of tomorrow? An HFD delegation trip to the Netherlands

What do innovative approaches and effective solutions for the further development of digital learning and teaching look like? And what are the success factors? Five selected HFD-funded delegation teams took up the challenge of designing a "Peer Learning Journey" to gather information abroad, network with international partners and share good practices in Germany. In November 2023, Bonn-Rhine-Sieg University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS) undertook a pioneering delegation to gain inspiration for the design of its future campus in St. Augustin.
