Digitalization
Digitalization
We use digital technologies in teaching, which improve the teaching and learning process, make it more versatile and take individual learning rhythms into account. Examples include online courses, e-learning platforms and digital teaching materials. The lecture halls of the future, equipped with high-quality technology, will make it possible to invite external experts or global classrooms to enable new perspectives and intercultural interactions, among other things. The digital technologies used help to improve communication and collaboration between students and researchers, facilitate access to data and knowledge, and optimize administrative processes. We therefore rely on digitalized committee management, internal information media and decision-making processes. They not only lead to efficiency advantages, but also to a substantial improvement in service quality.
On the way to the Digital Campus
3
specializations
A total of three digital focuses at the Faculty can be chosen: “Controlling and Digital Business Analytics” and “Digital Enterprise” at Bachelor level and “Digital Business” at Master level.
11
digitalization experts
The Faculty has 11 professorships with a focus on computer science, including 3 special digitalization professorships that strengthen digital transformation in teaching and research. In addition, a digitalization laboratory is under construction.
41
modules with digitalization focus
The cross-sectional topic of digitalization is taken into account in a variety of modules. Digitalization is currently the focus of 41 modules.
? 20 %
hybrid teaching
Expansion of hybrid teaching, especially in part-time, dual and further education courses
400
students
Around 400 students have taken part in a Global Classroom/Collaborative Online International Learning Format since the 2020/2021 winter semester.
Strategic digitalization goal
We optimize our educational, research, and administrative processes through innovative technologies to provide an efficient and accessible digital infrastructure.
