Organisational structure
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) was founded in spring 2023. The regulationsstipulate the structure of the CTL.
Student Advisory Board
The student advisory board advises the CTL on its projects and plans from a student perspective and is also involved in specific project work.
Areas and projects located at CTL
The staff at CTL is active in various specialist areas and third party funded projects.
Third-party funded projects
Digital innovations in teaching: WueDive
Communication, attention, self-regulation, transfer: WueCAST
Areas of activity at CTL
In order to ensure greater dynamic, flexibility and openness in the area of academic teaching, specialist forums have been created to facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogue and strategic collaboration between employees in this area.
Exchange in specialised forums
Academic didactics and methodology
The forum can be seen as an experimental laboratory for new didactic formats and modern technologies. Together with lecturers and researchers, new didactic concepts and methods are developed and tested. The discursive, scientific exchange about these concepts thus becomes an innovative culture of teaching.
Staff training in teaching
This forum transfers knowledge about didactics and methodology into practice. Teachers are supported in improving their academic teaching skills. By being located at CTL, it is possible to respond specifically to new demands and challenges (e.g. hybrid teaching, language skills for international degree programmes, education for sustainable development).
Interdisciplinary competences
The forum designs a forward-looking range of interdisciplinary academic studies and interdisciplinary cooperation. Students should be given the opportunity to develop their own profile. To this end, the pool for general transferable skills is being reformed. Through offers such as workshops at the Writing Centre, students receive support for a successful programme progression.
Quality management in teaching
This forum is responsible for the further development of quality management, in particular the organisation of the next quality cycle following system reaccreditation. The CTL itself and its projects are subject to participatory quality monitoring. The development of new data sets enables profile sharpening and decision support through institutional research. Quality management is more than just evaluation and undergoes a recursive loop via the connection to academic didactics.
Programme development and study reform
The forum helps with the development of new demand-oriented dregree programme models. Changes in the political framework (BayHIG, expansion planning) as well as social and strategic impulses (e.g. CHARM-EU, Erasmus) often require creative realisation. The expertise of all those involved is brought together here.
