We generally recommend that new staff members attend training courses on the central software systems used at the university as soon as possible after joining our team. This particularly applies to TYPO3 (content management system), OpenOLAT (learning management system) and Zoom (videoconferencing software).

Teaching

We recommend that all staff involved in academic teaching take part in training sessions for Panopto, the university's video platform, and OpenOLAT, the central learning management system. In addition, it is worth taking a look at our regularly updated higher education didactics and e-learning training programme, which is organised by the Quality in Academic Teaching Unit.

The Fit für die Lehre (Fit for Teaching, in German only) workshop held at the start of each semester is particularly relevant for newly appointed professors and is organised by the regional association for higher education evaluation (Hochschulevaluierungsverbund Südwest, HESW). The workshop provides a compact introduction to key teaching skills (basic principles of teaching in higher education), as well as an excellent opportunity to network with new professors from other universities of applied sciences in Rhineland-Palatinate.
