Methods for distance learning

Concepts for distance learning/blended learning

 The holistic learning environment concept is designed to enable learners to engage with the teaching content in a cognitively activating and adaptive way. Various teaching and learning formats are offered in the sense of individual learning paths, so that students can take on a receiving, reactive role or an independent, active role or systematically combine these.

Conclusion of the project 'Structural Dynamics: Implementation of a blended learning concept':
In the project, blended learning elements were added to the courses Structural Dynamics (100 students) and Structural Dynamics (50 students) in order to promote students' self-learning behaviour, facilitate the understanding of theoretically difficult concepts and increase the quality of teaching. To this end, interactive self-study units were developed, inverted classroom elements were designed and implemented and lectures were recorded and made available to students via Moodle.
