Learning platforms

Learning management systems are an indispensable resource and daily working tool for teachers at colleges and universities. By integrating digital tools and interactive functions, they offer an efficient way of conveying teaching content and supporting learning processes. In Thuringia, Moodle in particular is an established learning management system at universities. With the Virtual Campus Thuringia (VCT), a state-wide Moodle instance is also available that will simplify cross-university teaching and learning. 

We would like to support lecturers across all universities in getting to know the various functions/possibilities of Moodle better and integrating them into their teaching in a didactically meaningful way.

Workshops and courses are offered for teachers at regular intervals. These are run by the network's contact and specialist units or by external speakers. The focus is on basic and advanced topics relating to the Moodle learning management system. Other topics relating to media-enhanced teaching, learning and assessment are also covered.
