Oliver Reis, University of Paderborn: "Courage and openness - how much of this can future university teaching really take?“ (Nov. 16, 9:15 am, Room 8.2.01 or >>>BB main stage) When it comes to the shape of a future-proof university, two ideas seem to go hand in hand: Digitalization and open learning environments. Future teaching and learning should become more flexible, accessible, dynamic, collaborative and interdisciplinary. It should be designed with its finger on the pulse, open to complex challenges - and all with the help of digital technology. The lecture will explore the question of whether university teaching can keep this promise and, if so, what this could mean for it. Dr.Dr. Oliver Reis, Professor of Catholic Religious Education/Inclusion at the University of Paderborn, has been studying the effects of academic reform and digitalization on university teaching since 2006. He studied elementary and secondary school teaching for Catholic theology and philosophy and completed his doctorate on sustainable development and competence orientation as a driver of the Bologna reform. He was a substitute professor for practical theology at the University of Siegen and Dortmund before being appointed to the University of Paderborn in 2016.

The technical and didactic possibilities of digital teaching were also given a legal framework.
