November 25, 2021 - E-Learning Day

For this year’s E-Learning Day, we will be focusing on presenting tested practice of our university’s social online teaching and learning and cooperatively exchanging experiences of designing e-learning scenarios. Teachers from our university will present their tried-and-tested concepts and share their insights into methods, teaching-learning activities and the appropriate digital tools with interested colleagues and students. With this, we will have the opportunity to discuss different formats of media-supported teaching, as well as the possibility of transferring these methods among and across disciplines.

This year's E-Learning Day will therefore pose following questions:

• In the past year, which creative concepts enabled more social learning under unusual circumstances?
• How have these approaches impacted our understanding of cooperation and togetherness? How can we observe these changes?
• Which teaching ideas could be made broadly accessible on a subject-specific or interdisciplinary level?

We invite all teachers at the University of Potsdam to participate.

Participation in the E-Learning Award “Social Online Teaching”

To promote the quality of e-learning scenarios in university teaching, the Presidential Board of the University of Potsdam is offering the e-learning award "Social Online Teaching" this year.

The awarded prize money amounts to a total value of 10,000 euros.

Procedure

From those entries that participate in the E- Learning Award, the jury will nominate 5 entries. The respective teachers will be informed and will present their proven teaching concepts in a pitch at the end of the E-Learning Day. The jury and the audience (one vote) will select up to three winners.

The deadline for submissions is 25th of October 2021 (12 noon).

The nomination by the jury is based on these guiding questions:

• Is the concept comprehensible and coherently presented?
• How was the challenge of "social online teaching" managed? (How was the e-learning concept integrated into the course and which means of development and quality assurance were implemented?)
• How appropriate and suitable were the methods and techniques used in relation to the target group? Was the e-learning concept designed to be sensitized towards diversity issues and was it thus able to adjust its teaching and studying sections accordingly?
• How high is the subject-specific and/or interdisciplinary transferability?
