Learning content is conveyed to students by means of short video films (3-10 minutes long). Detailed description Topics are taken up from the lecture or on request. The learning videos serve to support and supplement what has already been learnt or to make content available online.
Screencasts or slidecasts (screen videos) give students the opportunity to watch the lecture or seminar content as often as they like and at their own pace, and to acquire the knowledge presented independently of lecture times and lecture theatres. This method is therefore ideal for self-study. ...
For the first course of a new semester, it is advisable to set out clear rules, i.e. the "rules of the game" for the entire course for about 14 weeks. An elementary part of these rules is the clarification of how to deal with each other. Communication, dealing with disruptions (from ...
