eLearning Trainings

"Hello? Are you still there?“ - one major challenge of online seminars is to engage all students. Especially when the cameras are switched off, it feels like you are talking in front of a silent and anonymous group of people you cannot see. This workshop explains didactic concepts that help you plan and host online seminars.

The workshop focuses on:

• tools (BBB & Greenlight)
• didactic concepts of synchronous teaching
• how to engage all students
• group assessments and presentations

ILIAS is HGU’s digital learning platform. The range of functions takes up all latest developments in the field of eLearning.

Content:

• Login and navigation
• Structure of ILIAS
• Overview of functions/objects
• Creating objects

Our digital learning platform ILIAS is a learning management system that offers a wide range of functions. From course organization to communication in chats and forums to tools that support the learning process such as exercises – there are almost no limits to the digital design of classes. This workshop introduces the functions that go beyond the mere distribution of learning materials. In the run-up to the workshop, we will identify areas of interest in order to tailor the workshop to your specific needs.

Content:

• Course organization (organizing students in small groups, assigning tasks, collecting data, etc.)
• Communication (forum, chat, feedback, etc.)
• Alternative types of assessments (ePortfolio, excercises, electronic submission, etc.)
• Evaluation (surveys etc.)
• Other

Teaching and studying are all about interaction - no matter if you have a digital format or a traditional face-to-face class. In an online test, for instance, a "right" or "wrong" window that pops up after you have answered a question is the easiest kind of feedback. However, it does not promote the learning progress sustainably.

This workshop is divided into two parts: The first part deals with the importance of feedback from a theoretical and didactic point of view, the second part provides some practical examples how to give and receive feedback in ILIAS.

Content:

• Importance of feedback from a didactic point of view
• Feedback rules
• Implementation in  ILIAS

“E-learning is very popular right now, that’s why we’re giving it a try, too.” – WRONG! E-learning is not an end it itself and can only be successful if it is flanked by a suitable didactic strategy. This workshop introduces didactic concepts that should be taken into account when planning and implementing e-learning strategies. Collect new didactic tools to create tailor-made e-learning projects.

Teaching and testing are closely interlinked. As a teacher, you have many different options to make your classes and assessments more individual. ILIAS alone offers 16 different question types that can be used in exams. Depending on your didactic objective – e.g. if you are putting together a final exam or a playful quiz to check the learning progress – you may also change the design of the assessment. This workshop introduces the various options for e-assessments that can be found in ILIAS.

Content:

• Question types in ILIAS
• E-exams in line with legal requirements
• Tests to monitor the learning progress

At the end of a class, students usually have to sit an exam or take a test for which they receive a grade. For most students, these grades are essential for their study progress, which is why they focus on achieving the best possible grade instead of expanding their competencies. This workshop shows how to define learning objects that can be easily assessed in exams and how these learning objectives are turned into exam questions that challenge students to acquire new competencies instead of focusing on short-term learning effects.

Content:

• Exam purposes
• Constructive alignment
• Learning objectives
• Effects of exam settings
• Designing exam questions
