Digital learning communities
A digital environment called Digital Learning Communities aims at providing students with the informal contact with their fellow students which is often lacking and also at supporting (professional) exchange and collaboration in small groups.
Digital Pilots (Digitale Lotsen)
The role of the Digital Pilots was to support students directly at the faculties in self-directed and digital learning. As student assistants, they inform, advise, and train their fellow students on how to use digital tools and on how to study efficiently.
Digital Learning Kit
For the project Digital Learning Kit, interactive self-learning units are created on topics related to study organization, learning how to learn, time management and studying in the digital space. The aim is to support students in their learning and working processes and to develop their media skills.
