Â鶹¹ÙÍø

Welcome and Introduction

-german-

Â鶹¹ÙÍø advocates for competency-based approaches in teaching. A robust foundation for designing effective teaching is the model of Constructive Alignment, which systematically aligns learning objectives, learning activities, and assessment methods.
What distinguishes this model? Why should courses be designed using this model? How can the "perfect match" be achieved?
After a brief introduction to the topic, a panel discussion will take place, examining the approach from various perspectives: educational development, faculty, students, and university strategy. Gain insights into the experiences of educators at LUH with this approach.

Participants: Prof. Julia Gillen (Vice President for Education), Dr. Florian Leydecker, Marco Bleckmann, student representative, Dr. Than-Thu Phan Tan (University Didactics/Host)

1) Generative AI in Examinations – A challenge under examination law

The discourse on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in academic examinations is gaining increasing importance, engaging both universities and legal bodies. In particular, for unsupervised written exams such as Bachelor's, Master's, study, and research papers, there is a need for communication about what is permissible, a need for regulations regarding the citation of AI-generated content, and potential adjustments to exam content and format. This workshop examines the legal issues surrounding the use, detection, and proof of generative AI in examination submissions and outlines a potential future approach to handling AI in exams.

Host: Dr. Janine Horn (University of Osnabrück)

2) Playful and Purposeful – Learning and Teaching with and about AI

We aim to explore with educators and students what it means to integrate AI into studies and teaching. We will start with the interactive game "Insight AI," which imparts knowledge about the application of AI in academic studies. Developed by the Hamburg Center for University Teaching and Learning and the University of Hamburg, educators can adapt or integrate it directly into their courses. Afterwards, we will present a selection of use scenarios—from brainstorming to research to research design. In breakout sessions, participants will engage in testing, discussion, learning, and advancing with new ideas.

Hosts: Sylvia Feil (ZQS/elsa), Simon Kugler (TIB), Sabine Lucia Müller (ZQS/Key Competencies)

3) Embrace Experimentation! Digital Tools of the Academic Cloud and Their Applications in Teaching

The Co3Learn project team presents digital tools to you! We will demonstrate how you can use the tools of the AcademicCloud and showcase selected scenarios for integrating them into your teaching. Try out a voting session with "Wooclap" or create digital learning spaces with "SaySom," where students can freely navigate. You can look forward to an exciting exchange on how teaching can become more creative and motivating with the help of these tools.

Hosts: Jan-Christoph Ahrens, Dennis Riether, and Katharina Stimming (ZQS)

4) Open Science as a Competency for Educators: Designing Seminars Legally, Innovatively and Accessibly

Terms like open science and open access often circulate in the context of research and publications. As participants in this workshop, you will learn about open science as an important competency for educators as well. Innovative and digital teaching, international collaborations such as EULiST, or in the field of transfer/continuing education, encounter questions of access barriers like paywalls. Consequently, open science is also a means to counter educational inequality. I

n this workshop, you will gain insights into how to design seminars using freely licensed content (e.g., open-access articles, open textbooks, OER). Experiment with tools for research, creation, and the legal publication of materials, and learn about the relevant advisory and support services available from TIB.

Host: Deborah Sielert (TIB)

Take a short break before the programme continues.

Alternatively: Use this opportunity to learn more about twillo in the information room!

Are you familiar with ? The OER portal twillo serves as the central repository for open educational resources in higher education for Lower Saxony. It allows teachers to search for, find, and publish teaching and learning materials. We are pleased to introduce our portal to you and look forward to answer any questions you may have about OER.

Hosts: Britta Beutnagel and Noreen Krause (TIB)

The Reign of HAL 9000? A Counterproposal for the Future of Learning

In Stanley Kubrick's classic 2001: A Space Odyssey, the artificial intelligence HAL 9000 serves as an autonomous control center supporting a human mission. However, the helper becomes a threat due to its assumed infallibility.

Universities also seem to have fallen victim to a similar technological faith. Digital technologies have massively transformed education in recent decades. Learning has become flexible in terms of time and location. Today's capabilities of artificial intelligence already hint at how it could deeply reshape education. Flexibility could advance further, moving toward personalized learning paths and content. The "perfect" AI might provide individualized and flawless support for every learner's educational process.

While digital technologies and AI offer enormous potential for personalized learning, the understanding of universities as spaces for social interaction seems to diminish. The inherent potential of cooperative learning remains (still) untapped. Developments in education are overly focused on the technical systems of the educational process. The pandemic has vividly demonstrated how a one-sided approach to digitization isolates students, diminishes learning outcomes, and leads to higher dropout rates.

In our contribution, we turn the spotlight on the social aspects of learning. Using the gamification principles of empamos (empirical analysis of motivating game elements), we highlight the motivating core of cooperative learning. Our approach could serve as a inspiration for designing learning opportunities that integrate digital technologies while fostering a motivating higher education experience that considers both the technical and social dimensions of the system.

Barcamp 'Teaching Projects': Think tank for innovative teaching projects

Do you have new approaches and methods for teaching practice that might be beneficial to others? Are you working on a project idea that you wish to develop, perhaps for submission to the Teaching Support Program? Our Barcamp offers you the chance to present both small and large ideas or approaches.

Together with other interested individuals, you'll explore these from various perspectives and elevate them to a new level. Would you like to contribute your ideas or approaches?
At the beginning of the event, you'll have the opportunity to spontaneously present a proposal with a pitch. Interested in engaging with your peers and learning from one another? Feel free to join without bringing your own topic. Your active participation is important and valuable in any case.

Host: Dr. Thanh-Thu Phan Tan (Human Resources Development/University Didactics)

* A Barcamp is an open format where participants design the agenda themselves. There are no pre-determined speakers or topics. Instead, all participants can introduce topics they wish to discuss and develop. At the start of the event, all proposals are briefly presented to the plenary before participants break into small groups for in-depth discussions. Of course, you will be guided throughout the process.
