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.

The MOOC consists of 4 units, which include short lectures with interactive elements, video interviews, practice examples and recommendations for teaching as well as further reading. Throughout the online course, reflection prompts inviting participants of this course to examine their own personal trajectories and teaching.
