Lecturing Based on Modern University Didactics
The assistant professors complete the qualification programme of The Higher Education Didactics Center Saxony (Hochschuldidaktisches Zentrum Sachsen – HDS) in order to acquire the official certificate of this institution. There are two certificate recipients in the project team, Dr. Frank Schumann and Andy Engel, who have already passed their certificate programme in the first funding period of the SEM Project. They act as multipliers. The higher education didactic training will be used to implement and develop the learned didactic methods in lecturing.

- Implementation of the format Mini-Bachelor-Thesis to prepare students for their final thesis at the Faculty of Media (S. Günther)
- Involvement of particularly suitable students as tutors to support lecturing (all AkAs)
- Transfer of intercultural key competences in the cooperation of students and refugees in the intercultural seminar "Tell Me Your Story, New Neighbour: Identity, Interculturality and the Life Narrative" (PD Dr. G. Süß)
- Collaboration in the cross-university project "Lehrportfolio" with the TU Bergakademie Freiberg (PD Dr. G. Süß)
- Advancement and implementation of E-learning or blended learning formats (e.g. study complementary course for MINT subjects, preparation courses "ACCESS COURSE-Hochschulzugangsprüfung" and "ACCESS COURSE-Kompakt", blended learning concepts in the extra-occupational bachelor's program Industrial Engineering and in the master program Industrial Management) (Dr. E. Thiem)
- Application of the learning management system OPAL in teaching as project management support as well as guidance of tutors using OPAL (Dr. E. Thiem)
