Tag der Lehre 2021

On May 26, 2021, the Day of Teaching 2021 offered from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. an online platform for exchange and reflection on the topic of international and digital teaching and learning. In impulse presentations and workshop formats, all members of the university were invited to revisit and discuss the experiences of the past two digital semesters and connect the topics of digitality and internationalization.

The Day of Teaching 2021 was guided by the following questions:  What challenges and boundaries of digital teaching and learning became apparent? How could these be overcome? What unexpected opportunities became possible? What are the advantages of digital teaching regarding internationalization? How can digitality help us to enable teaching and learning across national and institutional borders? In short, what can we learn from the digital semesters?

As part of the streaming event on the Day of Teaching, outstanding courses of the past semesters at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar were honored with the teaching awards 2021.

In addition to the four teaching awards of the faculties, a teaching prize for hybrid teaching and another teaching prize for student teaching were granted by the StuKo. Congratulations to all the lecturers of the honored courses!

In order to provide a platform for the student perspective on the digital semester on the occasion of the Day of Teaching, we asked students from various disciplines to talk about their experiences in short interviews based on the following questions:

Your online semester in three words? | What was the biggest challenge for you? | Which contents and concepts were proven to be successful throughout the online semester and would be beneficial to be incorporated in the post-COVID-19 education? | What was a surprise for you during the digital semesters? | What was the most uncommon or unique place that you have studied at during the online semester?
