[Translate to English:] Lehren und Lernen am Computer

Making teaching digital and interactive is currently one of the key challenges for teachers. Schools now have many helpful tools at their disposal, but in addition to the technical provision, training is also necessary in terms of the specific didactic implementation options. This is where the training course “eEducation-Tools – Digital Teaching and Learning Methods” comes in.

In four weeks, course participants will learn about various teaching methods and how to implement them using digital tools. The focus is on the parallel, direct implementation of what has been learned in order to make learning more effective and sustainable for students in the current situation. The training program therefore introduces tools and focuses on directly testing what has been learned in practice. The program is aimed at all teachers of all school types, regardless of the subject they teach. After successfully completing the four-week course, participants receive an official certificate of attendance.
