Support for Online Teaching

Assistance and technical advice for questions regarding the set-up of various applications on the eCampus and for the use of MS Teams.

The task of LEARN consists of offering first aid with the objective of autonomously implementing solutions. Further trainings for the didactically meaningful use of digital teaching and learning resources are offered as well.

Individual Advice

Flexible One-on-One Consultations for Teaching Staff

For specific questions and personal concerns that do not fit into a further training workshop
Increasing the transfer to one’s own teaching practice through in-depth individual advice following participation in a didactic further training

All members of the St. Pölten UAS’ teaching staff can contact LEARN at any time and arrange an individual advice appointment. Consultations are also offered online.

Please feel free to contact a LEARN members of your choice. You can view our areas of expertise below.

Examples of occasions in which to seek advice:

Advice in the individual design of courses
Concrete questions or solutions for the subject-specific use of methods
Discussing challenging situations in teaching and finding possible solutions
Identifying and planning development steps for one’s own teaching
etc.

Professional Observation

The objective is to compare the self-assessment of one’s own teaching behaviour to the impressions of a person with didactic expertise.

During a visit in collaboration with LEARN, a member of our didactics teams sits in on one of your classes. Based on an observation sheet (which you draw up together beforehand), you then discuss development potentials and successful elements.

Peer Learning (Learning from Co-Workers)

By inviting colleagues to visit their courses, members of the teaching staff can gain helpful and inspiring impulses for the further improvement of teaching quality: our teachers look each other over the shoulder in designing their courses.

The strongest “aha” effect is achieved when purposefully choosing professional observation partners from other disciplines. LEARN supports this form of peer learning through the provision of materials on how to carry out this format.
