The possibilities are diverse and the need for information correspondingly high. The University of Erfurt offers the following teaching formats, among others:
- synchronous teaching & learning: simultaneously, live (e.g. in the virtual learning room)
- asynchronous teaching & learning: not simultaneously, with flexible time and room arrangements
- hybrid teaching & learning: a mixture of distance and face-to-face teaching
- "flipped classroom": knowledge transfer is completely or partially outsourced to an explanatory video. The time with the university lecturer is used for questions, consolidation and practice.
On the page "Digital teaching at the University of Erfurt" you will find an overview of the most important questions (and of course answers) about digital teaching.
