Logo ZLL

The Center for Teaching and Learning (ZLL) has been supporting studies and teaching at the university as a central unit since 2021. In line with the mission statement for teaching, we work with Faculties and central institutions to develop study preparation and support programmes. We offer students seminars and workshops on key competences, practical skills and soft skills as well as learning materials and advice. The aim is to provide students with the best possible support during their studies and prepare them for professional life. We support lecturers in designing courses and offer didactic training and technical resources. As a research-based institution, we network regionally and internationally and bring research findings back to the university. We also create the framework conditions for curriculum development and advise the university management as an interface between different stakeholder groups.

Moodle and function accounts

As part of the changeover to the new Moodle login procedure, it is unfortunately no longer possible to log in to Moodle with functional accounts (e.g. joint accounts for teams or chairs). The adjustment is part of a comprehensive modernisation of access control and serves to increase IT security. The use of personal logins enables a clear assignment of activities in Moodle and provides better protection against misuse or unauthorised access through shared passwords. The university is thus complying with current data protection and security standards.

Community of Practice: Open educational materials with LiaScript, Notion & Co.

Whether text, video or audio production, there are now numerous technical tools that facilitate the creation of open educational resources (OER). This community meeting will introduce LiaScript, an open-source tool that can be used to create interactive online courses directly in the browser. LiaScript offers teachers an easy way to combine texts with videos, quizzes or surveys to create engaging learning environments without any special software or programming skills. Prof Sebastian Zug (TU Bergakademie Freiberg), one of the developers of LiaScript, will give an introduction to the tool and its possible applications. Dr Rick Steinert (European University Viadrina) will also present an OER example from his teaching practice that was awarded the 2023 State Teaching Prize and show how digital tools can be effectively integrated into teaching and learning contexts. In addition to these impulses, the event offers sufficient space for your questions, experiences and application examples. You can register for the online meeting at any time via kontakt@co-woerk.de.
