Towards an Interoperable Higher Education Landscape

Towards an Interoperable Higher Education Landscape

Are you eager to access comprehensive student performance data across multiple platforms? Keen on collaborating seamlessly with fellow educators across various institutions? Do you envision a single platform to log in as a student? As an administrator, are you looking for more efficient academic recognition processes? Good news: The European Digital Education Hub is making strides with a key initiative that responds to these wishes – by developing a European higher education interoperability framework. We spoke to Channa van der Brug, who has been closely monitoring the progress of this initiative since its launch in September 2023, informed by insights from the HFD study “Making Interoperability Work”.

A stage model, developed by Martin Ebner et al., could help to describe this in the future. Anyone who has written technical proposals for European projects knows that […]

The Slinking Process of Digitisation of Higher Education Institutions

The Slinking Process of Digitisation of Higher Education Institutions

“Without the universities themselves having noticed it, they have become data- and software-driven institutions. This means that in many areas they use complex software systems in which data is generated on a large scale without these data (apart from research) being subjected to an evaluation.” Dr Hubertus Neuhausen, Director of the University and City Library […]

The Silent Dark Wall in Zoom

Corona Campus Zoom

The Silent Dark Wall in Zoom

Video conferences have proven to be an online solution for many formats of ad-hoc digital teaching during the Corona crisis. However, especially in lectures, but even in smaller seminars, the camera on the student side often remains switched off. Teachers speak against a silent wall and the hoped-for interactivity is opposed by inactivity. Professor Jörn […]

The provision of generative AI in universities: What is possible and what is desirable?

German universities are facing the challenge of making tools based on generative artificial intelligence (AI) accessible for research, teaching and administration. The focus is currently on the accessibility of commercially available tools such as ChatGPT. However, the issue of non-commercial, open source-based solutions is also increasingly coming to the fore in the discussions. What options are there, what are the advantages and disadvantages and what role does cross-university cooperation play here?

The new normal at the University:Future Festival

Digital university teaching without presence formats – a state of affairs that would not have been conceivable without a worldwide pandemic.

The End of Commitment in the Online Semester?

The End of Commitment in the Online Semester?

“The good will of students and lecturers for activating teaching and learning through digital offerings is mostly present. The misery does not only begin with the application of digital tools and services, but already with the availability of hardware and software”. A commentary on “media literacy and the end of commitment in the online semester” […]

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

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.
