Online-Events

Curriculumentwicklung: Einführung in das Themenfeld
27.10.2025 | Prof. Dr. Tobias Jenert (Univ. Paderborn) und HS-Prof. Mag. Dr. Klaus Himpsl-Gutermann (PH Wien)

Curricula fungieren als Grundlage für die Gestaltung von Studiengängen und sind ein zentrales Element der Hochschulentwicklung; sie beeinflussen sowohl die Ausrichtung von Studiengängen als auch die Gestaltung einzelner Lehrveranstaltungen.
Zum Auftakt des Themenspecials „Curriculumentwicklung: Konzepte, Tools & Trends“ geben Prof. Dr. Tobias Jenert (Univ. Paderborn) und HS-Prof. Dr. Klaus Himpsl-Gutermann (PH Wien) einen einführenden Überblick über unterschiedliche Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu diesem Themenfeld und die damit verbundenen Implikationen – nicht zuletzt in Bezug auf den Einsatz digitaler Medien in der Lehre.

Future Skills und Kompetenzen im Curriculum
11.11.2025 | Dr. Reinhard Bauer (PH Wien) und Prof. Dr. Ulf Ehlers (DHBW)

Ziel des Konzepts der Future Skills ist es, Kompetenzen zu identifizieren, die zukünftig persönlich und beruflich an Bedeutung gewinnen und damit auch für die Hochschullehre immer wichtiger werden. Zu Beginn des Online-Events gibt Prof. Dr. Ulf Ehlers (DHBW) einen Überblick über das Konzept und die aktuellen Entwicklungen. Im Anschluss berichtet HS-Prof. Dr. Reinhard Bauer (PH Wien) über die Erfahrungen mit der Integration von Future Skills in die soeben neugestalteten Curricula der Lehramtsstudiengänge an der PH Wien.

Micro-Credentials: Flexibilisierung und Personalisierung von Curricula
01.12.2025 | Mag. Christina Raab (Univ. Innsbruck) und Hon.-Prof. (FH) Ernst Kreuzer (TU Graz)

Als „Microcredentials“ werden Nachweise von Lernergebnissen bezeichnet, die im Rahmen von Lerneinheiten erworben wurden, die weniger umfangreich sind als klassische Hochschulveranstaltungen. Im Online-Event diskutieren Hon.-Prof. Ernst Kreuzer (TU Graz) und Mag. Christina Raab (Univ. Innsbruck), welche Potenziale und Herausforderungen mit der Gestaltung und Anerkennung von Microcredentials verbunden sind – und ob und wie sie sich in klassische Curricula integrieren lassen.

Workshop: Curricula entwickeln mit KI und anderen Tools
15.12.2025 | Priv.-Doz. Dr. Martin Ebner (TU Graz), Mag. Dr. Stefan Pasterk (Univ. Klagenfurt) und Prof. Dr. Manfred Pfiffner (PH Zürich / Univ. Graz)

Die anderthalbstündige Online-Veranstaltung bietet die Möglichkeit, sich in drei Workshops mit der Bedeutung von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) bei der Gestaltung von Curricula zu beschäftigen. Dabei geht es sowohl darum, wie KI möglicherweise dazu eingesetzt werden kann, um die aufwändige Planung von Curricula zu verbessern als auch um die Frage, welche Tätigkeiten und Lehr-/Lernaktivitäten auf keinen Fall durch KI ersetzt werden können.

Abschlussdiskussion: Curriculumentwicklung zwischen Innovation und strukturellen Rahmenbedingungen
19.01.2026 | Prof. Dr. Isa Jahnke (UTN; Copyright Foto: Eye-D Fotodesign), Gernot Messinger (PH Wien), Dr. Sylvia Ruschin (HS Niederrhein) und Dr. Benno Volk (ETH Zürich)

Die bisherigen Online-Veranstaltungen des Themenspecials befassten sich vor allem mit didaktischen Aspekten, innovativen Ideen und dem Einsatz digitaler Medien im Bereich der Curriculumentwicklung. Ausgangspunkt der abschließenden Online-Podiums ist deshalb die Frage nach Spannungen zwischen solchen Entwicklungen und den bestehenden Rahmenbedingungen – und nach möglichen Spielräumen.

Current assessments and legal framework conditions will be presented in compact specialist impulses, supplemented by initial experiences and perspectives from the application practice of universities. The event offers an overview of key legal issues and provides practical information for everyday university life.

The event is aimed at all those involved in the legal framework of digital university teaching, including employees from the areas of study and teaching, data protection offices, e-learning, legal offices and other administrative institutions. In addition to current content, the event offers space for exchange and networking. We look forward to your participation. Further information on the agenda will follow shortly.

For a free participation:  Registration required

Text excerpt from the description: "Currently, the FLUX (text to image) and Qwen (image to image) models are available for the Image AI service. It has been released under Apache 2.0 and supports personal, scientific and commercial use. The user can control the behavior of the model using a system prompt. The user can also select the image dimensions (width and height) and the number of images to be generated according to their requirements."

Documentation: https://docs.hpc.gwdg.de/services/image-ai/index.html

In a nutshell: It is easy to use, generates results very quickly and is therefore well suited as an introduction to AI-based image generation (of course, the result also depends on the quality of the prompt ;-)).
And don't be confused by the note "Coming soon", the service has been in test mode for a while. 

Have fun trying it out!

Automatically generated AI feedback for free text answers in the assignment tool DoIT!
DoIT! now offers automatically generated AI feedback for free text answers from students. This feedback is only made available to teachers/tutors and can be used as a decision-making aid for their own feedback to students. An AI prompt with reference to the task and the answer is predefined as a placeholder for the tasks, i.e. it can be used or you can write your own prompts for the different tasks. The feedback is created at night after the processing deadline has expired, provided the students have agreed to this. This is based on an open source LLM (meta-llama-3.1-8b-instruct) from the GWDG Academic Cloud (https://chat-ai.academiccloud.de), i.e. it is used in compliance with data protection regulations.
Especially in large cohorts, the use of these feedback suggestions can lead to considerable time savings for teachers and tutors.
If you use the scoring system for the assignments, there is now also an AI-generated score suggestion the next day after the submission deadline.
 

From a didactic perspective, AI feedback can be used for various scenarios, e.g. for formative assessments. This can be the use as a pure tool for teachers/tutors to support the creation of feedback or to explore the possibilities of artificial intelligence as a teaching and learning object.

Didactic scenario: as a tool
AI-generated feedback is created for each task and used as a template for your own feedback. However, students can object to the use of the AI feedback when answering the questions.

Didactic scenario: as a teaching object

• Accept the AI feedback unchanged (mark accordingly) and have this output critiqued by students.
• Accept the AI feedback unchanged and mark it accordingly and also write your own feedback and mark it accordingly. This comparison of human and artificial responses can then be reflected on by the students.
• The students do not know whether the feedback was created by the AI or the teacher and analyze and evaluate the feedback (and they conduct a lecture hall survey, e.g. with Particify or the Stud.IP tool cliqr, and let the students vote on which feedback is human or artificial).

From a legal perspective, AI-generated feedback can support pre-correction in the context of summative assessments, but must not replace assessment and does not release students from the obligation of independent assessment (see page 3 of the report "Rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen und Anpassungsbedarfe zur Verstetigung des Einsatzes von KI-basierten Werkzeugen in der Lehre: Wissenschaftliches Rechtsgutachten im Auftrag der Universität Bremen" by Prof. Dr. Kirchner-Freis, Zitierlink: https://doi.org/10.26092/elib/3781).

• Will teaching and learning materials be generated primarily by generative AI tools in the future?
• If so, do we still need CC licences if AI-generated content is largely in the public domain?
• In this case, are OER repositories still the right places to store this public domain content in the long term, or will open LMSs increasingly be used for this purpose?
• What contribution can OER and corresponding repositories make to open education in the future?
• Or are OER possibly the ideal basis for copyright-compliant training of LLMs or enrichment via RAG solutions to help improve the quality of AI-generated content?
• And how can the use of AI promote the development and dissemination of OER?

We want to address these and other questions in lightning talks and an in-depth dialogue between Dr Sandra Schön and PD Dr Malte Persike. Participants are cordially invited to take part in a second part of the discussion.

Zur Warteliste

In einer Zeit, in der Technologien wie Künstliche Intelligenz und Avatare rasant an Bedeutung gewinnen, stehen Lehrende vor neuen Chancen – aber auch Herausforderungen. Wie können solche Technologien sinnvoll in die Lehre eingebettet werden? Welche didaktischen Konzepte eignen sich für Video- oder Podcastformate? Und wie gehen wir verantwortungsvoll mit audiovisuellen Medien und personenbezogenen Daten um?

Die ViTeach 25 bietet ein vielfältiges Programm mit verschiedenen thematischen Tracks – u. a. zu KI & Avataren, (Video-)Podcasting, Technik, Didaktik und ethischen Fragestellungen. Ziel ist es, Räume für Austausch, Reflexion und Inspiration zu schaffen – praxisnah, kritisch und offen für neue Perspektiven.

Ganz gleich, ob Sie erste Schritte in der videobasierten Lehre unternehmen oder bereits erfahren sind: Die ViTeach 25 lädt Sie ein, sich gemeinsam mit anderen Lehrenden, Mediendidaktiker*innen und Technikinteressierten auszutauschen und die Zukunft der digitalen Lehre mitzugestalten.

Alle Informationen inklusive Anmeldung: www.viteach-konferenz.de

Auf der Grundlage von Befragungen in den Partnerhochschulen und von der in dem Netzwerk aufgebauten Wissensbasis, werden in dieser Veranstaltung folgende Fragen beleuchtet:

• Vor welchen Herausforderungen stehen Lehrende, wenn sie hybride Lehre durchführen?
• Inwieweit können wir diese Herausforderungen durch didaktische Ansätze bewältigen? (Technik als Basis, Didaktik als Schlüssel)
• Wann lohnt es sich, hybrid zu lehren?

Wir laden alle Interessierten ein, sich mit dem Team des Netzwerks Hybride Lehre über die didaktischen Aspekte der hybriden Lehre auszutauschen und darüber nachzudenken, ob hybride Lehre eine neue didaktische Methode ist oder ein Rahmen für bereits existierende ist.

On this overview page New in Stud.IP 5.5.3 (german language) we have briefly explained the most important innovations (Where is the tab More...?, Searching and finding courses in the module index, updating the courseware, new question types in the questionnaires, accessible files, modernised wiki, compact navigation/full screen mode); our Stud.IP help will be successively updated in the near future.

Note on the course catalogue on the university website
From 5 March, the course data in the course catalogue of the University of Bremen (https://www.uni-bremen.de/studium/starten-studieren/veranstaltungsverzeichnis) will temporarily be provided from a static source, partly due to the Stud.IP update on 5 March and the Typo3 update planned afterwards. A new version - based on the module structure - will be available at the beginning of the summer semester, which means that the course data cannot be updated until the new course catalogue is available.

We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Manfred and Ursula Fluß Foundation once again for their support. It was instrumental in ensuring the smooth planning and execution of the conference.

University cooperation on the digitization of support processes already has a long tradition in individual federal states. Due to the complex challenges of digitization, limited resources, and a high need for transformation, more and more federal states are trying to benefit from each other by working more closely together.

Bremen among Founding Members

The founding members are representatives from the states of Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Bremen, Hamburg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony, Saarland, Schleswig-Holstein, and Thuringia. Their aim is to support the continuous expansion of cooperation with other state coordinators and to facilitate synergies in open collaboration with other networks, committees, centers, and alliances in the higher education sector.

Learning AID is one of the central platforms in the German-speaking world for networking and exchange on artificial intelligence and learning analytics in higher education. In this field, it is important to consider the university as an overall system on the one hand, and on the other hand to clarify specific questions in the context of student advisory services, data protection, ethics, IT, e-learning, university didactics and teaching-related quality management, among others.

All regular places are currently taken and the waiting list is open. There are still a few places available for students. The waiting list and registration are still open until August 18

Further information can be found at: learning-aid.blogs.ruhr-uni-bochum.de

In addition to the AI track, there will be other interesting presentations on topics such as teaching award nominations, online self-assessments, network research, interactive building construction, the qualification of employees via Stud.IP and the use of an LMS at the Landesforsten! Workshops will explain how to set up a project for the university-wide introduction of the modularized course catalog, how to proceed with courseware and how to connect new students via onboarding with Stud.IP.

The complete program with all information can be found at www.studip.de/programm-stud-ip-tagung-2024

In particular, the question arises:

• Can texts and media content created by AI generators even be recognized and detected as artificially generated content?
• And if so, how reliable are the results of AI detectors and how can they be taken into account in examination law?

With such rapid technological developments, there is always a need for state regulation, as is intended in the course of the EU AI Act. What implications does this regulation have in general and specifically for the higher education sector? We want to address these and other questions in this workshop and then discuss them in depth with all participants.

The focus will be on

• AI-VO-E and AI-Act (draft)
• Higher education laws (of the federal states, especially Hamburg)
• Study and examination regulations

Many lecturers are already familiar with Jupyter, as the software not only offers a low-threshold introduction to programming with Python, R or Java, for example, but is also ideal for getting started with data analysis and statistics. Web-based and therefore independent of the technical requirements and prior knowledge of the students, the tool can be used in teaching.

At the University of Bremen, it is also possible to link courses in Stud.IP with an individually designed profile on the JupyterHub. Only the participants of the course have access to these profiles. The profiles can be customized according to teaching requirements by specifying the programming language(s), pre-installing libraries and packages and uploading teaching materials.

Students can also use Jupyter independently of teaching events. Three standard profiles in the programming languages Python, R and Java have been created for this purpose and are available to try out.

In the 30-minute online sessions, we would like to offer teachers and students an additional opportunity to get to know Jupyter, ask questions or exchange ideas about the tool.

The next event will take place on Thursday, June 27, 2024, from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. in Zoom, the access data will be sent out one day before the event begins.

SuUB Bremen is the pilot library in Germany that will implement the migration from the current PICA-LBS3 system to Folio for more than 200 librariesin the network. With the active support of GBV’s head office, SuUB Bremen will develop a significant proportion of the necessary adaptations to the new library management system itself.

“The decision to switch to Folio and open source is a decision for sustainability and ensures the continued development of library services,” says Maria Elisabeth Müller, Director of SuUB Bremen. The switchover should be completed by the end of 2024.

With a collection of 3.5 million books and 30,000 users, the Bremen State and University Library (SuUB) is the largest and oldest academic library in Bremen. Via the E-LIB, SuUB currently offers access to over 100 million media, more than 95% of which are proofs of electronic media with the option of obtaining the full text. The E-LIB is both a development environment and a production system and handles 10,000 to 18,000 search queries every day.

The projects at the University of Bremen at a glance:

Within the framework of "Fachdidaktik.inklusiv.digital" modular content for student teachers, trainee teachers, and teaching staff will be developed over the next two years, which can be used equally in face-to-face or "blended learning" seminars. The latter are forms of learning in which the advantages of face-to-face classes and e-learning are combined, but which can also be used for self-study. For this purpose, experts from schools and the field of didactics are systematically involved. The project leader is Professor Frank J. Müller, Faculty of Pedagogy and Educational Sciences.

"Immersive Transformationsräume der Nachhaltigkeit - ImmerNa" aims to develop an online course in virtual reality. Thematically, the focus is on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. For this purpose, a virtual SDG building will be set up over the course of four semesters, which will contain 18 rooms: 17 goal rooms and an entrance portal. Students of the University of Bremen are involved in the content and didactic design as part of the courses. Subsequently, the VR building will be available to all students in the eGeneral Studies area to enable them to have their own cognitive and emotional experiences on the topic of sustainability in the virtual world. Examination forms still have to be developed for this purpose. The project manager is Dr. Denis Pijetlovic, Managing Director of the Virtual Academy of Sustainability.

In the project "Lost in Translation?" students produce science communication videos about teaching and learning languages. School children want to know why they should learn a foreign language in the first place. Parents are interested in concrete digital solutions for teaching and learning languages at school in times of school closures and distance learning. Media representatives are interested in innovative concepts and media-effective model projects that, for example, answer the question of how one can effectively learn a language independently. Within the framework of a foreign language didactics module, students of Romance studies are taught to deal with these and other fundamental questions of the public on foreign language research and to produce science communication videos for a scientific channel on YouTube that is supervised by the students. Project leaders are Dr. Georgia Gödecke and Professor Andreas Grünewald, Faculty of Linguistics and Literary Studies.

"Schreiben, Publizieren, Reflektieren integriert in die Fachlehre durch Booksprints" is the title of a funded collaborative project. In Booksprints, students work together in different roles and with the help of creative and didactic writing methods to write a text – such as a research article or a popular science contribution – within one week, which is then published. In the process, students acquire important competencies that enable them to act responsibly even outside the university context – for example, the skills of cooperation, communication and self-direction, information literacy, and problem-solving. Within the framework of the project, several “booksprints” will be carried out at the universities of Bremen, Cologne, and the SRH University of Applied Sciences Berlin in order to work out how such a format can succeed and, based on this, to develop a didactic handout that is freely accessible (a so-called open educational resource). The project leader is Professor Sarah Brommer, Faculty of Linguistics and Literary Studies.

The Foundation:

Since 2021, the Innovation in University Teaching Foundation ("Innovation in der Hochschullehre") has been committed to innovations in teaching and learning throughout Germany. To this end, it supports projects at individual universities or collaborative projects. Furthermore, the foundation creates networking opportunities for educators, strengthens the transfer of knowledge, and promotes the exchange of project results, successes, and challenges. The federal and state governments are providing all the funding for this new scientific institution.

Development of Robotic Learning Systems for Universities

The interface between robotics and artificial intelligence - also known as cognitive robotics - will play an important role in the management of societal challenges in the future. Intelligent robotic systems can, for example, take on central functions in the health sector and support physically impaired people in their own home. One requirement for this is not only the further scientific development of such technologies but also the training of specialists and early-career researchers. The University of Bremen is expanding its outstanding position in this area: The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) has granted the university around 2 million euros in funding for the development of a comprehensive learning system.

The project entitled “Integrierte Lernumgebung für kognitive Robotik” (IntEL4CoRo) follows the approach of skills-oriented teaching. This means that students are enabled to apply their knowledge and develop it autonomously. The researchers from the University of Bremen that are being led by Professor Michael Beetz and Dr. Yildiray Ogurol want to achieve this by integrating practical elements into their learning environment. For example, students are to work intensely with control systems for robots and physics-based simulations. This is to help in illustrating the concepts taught in class. At the same time, the students test their acquired knowledge by further developing the learning system themselves. Research teams from the Institute for Artificial Intelligence (IAI) and the Center for Multimedia in Higher Education (ZMML) have been combined for this purpose. They are being supported by the Center for Networks (ZfN) at the university, as well as the Cognitive Systems Lab (CSL), the Virtual Academy of Sustainability (VAN), the Public Health degree course and the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI).

The learning system is being created for the realization of final theses, team-based software development projects, and robot competitions. All the work that is realized with the system is to be able to be transferred to real robots. The system itself will be an open-source project so that all interested parties can work on it or develop their own versions.

“Bundled Know-How in AI Research”

“I am very pleased about this funding for our university,” says the President, Professor Bernd Scholz-Reiter. “The university is one of the global leaders in AI research.” Only recently, did the Collaborative Research Center EASE - Everyday Activity Science and Engineering receive a further four years of funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG). “We have bundled know-how here so that we can foster the digitalization in higher education with the help of artificial intelligence.”

The Senator for Science and Ports, Dr. Claudia Schilling: “Thanks to the acceleration of the technological transformation and digitalization, which was also triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the training of AI experts has become particularly urgent. At the same time, the implementation of AI-based technology can improve the quality, performance abilities, and efficacy of university education. The consideration of ethical aspects is an important prerequisite for the acceptance and successful usage of AI in higher education and is significant to us in Bremen. That is why I am extremely pleased that both the acquisition of skills, as well as the use of AI in university teaching are being looked at more closely in terms of ethical, legal, and social significance within the aforementioned projects. By doing this, the outstanding research strength of Bremen in AI-based and cognition-inspired robotics is being optimally expanded on and the AI ecosystem is growing its foundations.”

About the Government and State Initiative “Künstliche Intelligenz in der Hochschulbildung”

With the funding initiative, which has access to 133 million euros and covers 81 universities in Germany, the government and states are trying to effectively roll out the key technology that is AI across the breadth of the higher education system, stated the Joint Science Conference (GWK).  In total, 40 individual university projects and 14 network projects involving several universities are being supported.  On the one hand, the focus is on the measures that contribute to the qualification of future academics. In this way, universities are supported in the development of degree courses or individual modules in the field of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, universities are being supported in the creation of AI-based learning and exam environments. The chosen projects will most probably be funded from December 2021 for up to four years. The maximum funding amount for individual projects is two million euros and five million euros for network projects.

Digital Formats Will Be Integrated in Degree Courses

With the project SKILL - “Studierendenzentriert | kollaborativ | innovativ Lehren und Lernen” (Student-Centered | Collaborative | Innovative Teaching and Learning), which will be funded by Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre, digital teaching, learning, and exam scenarios will be anchored in the curricula of the degree courses and will be further developed.  In degree-related innovation labs, the methodical-didactic shaping of teaching, learning, and exam processes under consideration of the new digitalization possibilities will be investigated. The acquisition of subject-specific information and media skills is to also be integrated into the degree and the method portfolio of students is to be expanded in this manner.

Project Takes Experiences with Digital Teaching into Consideration

The project will be embedded in the long-term, strategic plans and is to form the foundation for the bundling of support structures for digital teaching. Experiences gathered during the pandemic and also from earlier e-learning projects will be included. The results of a survey of students on the summer semester 2020 will also be incorporated. Over 60 percent of the participants stated that they hope for there to be a stronger connection between online and face-to-face teaching in the future. Thomas Hoffmeister: “We know that useful hybrid formats that combine the advantages of face-to-face classes with e-learning are a significant motor for the further student-centered development of teaching.” This would improve the quality of teaching and contribute to an increase in learning success for the students.

Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre

In their first campaign “Hochschullehre durch Digitalisierung stärken” (Strengthening University Teaching Through Digitalization), the new foundation “Innovation in der Hochschullehre,” which was established by the federal government and states, handed out funding amounting to 330 million euros for projects in teaching at universities across the country. The funded projects were chosen in a scientific process by experts and students and a total of 264 proposals were submitted. Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre is funded by the federal government and states. Innovation strength and transfer opportunities were main criteria when the projects were being chosen. Funding will begin on August 01, 2021.
