Media didactics

Media didactic consultation, qualification and support

The offer is directed at all teachers at the University of Bremen. They are consultaed, supported and qualified in the use of digital media in face-to-face or online teaching. Adapted to your personal goals and your teaching format, all e-learning services of the ZMML are taken into account and ideally combined in the context of a integrated media-didactic approach.

Below you will find information on numerous areas, including media didactic tips for designing digital teaching, a decision-making guide for suitable tools, accessability, OER, legal issues, and much more.

For students, we offer the blog Studytools - Tools and Tips for digital-supported studies at the University of Bremen with resources, tools and materials from the University of Bremen and other institutions that can be useful during your studies (and beyond).

Here you will find general didactic tips that you should take into account when designing virtual teaching.

The decision aid offers you a way to link your own idea of learning scenarios to technical possibilities. You will be guided to suitable tools for virtual teaching via a simple exclusion procedure.

Digital teaching is fundamentally a valuable format for diverse, inclusive teaching. Students with disabilities in particular can benefit from it. However, it also presents teachers with special challenges in designing accessible teaching and media.
