"Digital Teaching Day" at TU Ilmenau - International experts discuss online teaching

On March 29, the TU Ilmenau will bring together more than 70 experts from German and international universities via web conference at the Digital Teaching Day to discuss ways to improve online teaching. The cross-national and cross-university forum in English is intended to promote the exchange of one's own experiences with digital teaching and to help develop innovative digital teaching formats in the future - for the benefit of the TU Ilmenau and the other universities.

The Corona pandemic has forced universities around the world to teach their students largely from home in order to protect them from infection. From one day to the next, teaching had to be switched from purely face-to-face to online or hybrid hybrid. In order to be able to teach students the subject matter in a different form, but still at the highest level, the TU Ilmenau and universities around the world developed completely new digital methods, techniques and tools. To be sure, online teaching thus made a huge leap in quality in a very short time. But increasingly, the question is coming into focus as to what status online teaching and examination formats can have after the pandemic.
