General Course Information
#Inklusion #Diversität #Hochschullehre
The MOOC Teaching In Higher Education: Inclusive & Diverse invites you to engage with diversity-conscious teaching. The focus is on concrete possibilities for action for teachers – especially in the course design. This concerns, for example, an inclusive working atmosphere, a flexible approach to multilingualism or sensitive content. Experienced university lecturers will present examples of good practice in these areas.
Beyond the concrete level of course design, further focal points are self-reflection of the participants of the online course as well as taking action in the role as a university member.
The course is aimed at German-speaking university teachers.
