Project Overview
The project “Leuphana: Digital Transformation Lab for Teaching and Learning” (DigiTaL for short), headed by Prof. Dr. Erich Hörl and Dr. Julia Webersik, involves a total of 15 professors as well as other lecturers, students, all three schools and central institutions with 11 sub-projects. The project structure is divided into several levels. While the sub-projects drive forward the conception, testing and evaluation of their own project goals, the participants also work on the overall project goal of transforming digital teaching as well as in the clusters on digital teaching-learning innovations, digital literacy and digital internationalization.
The Digital Transformation Lab implements the idea of a transformative
university by using collegial irritation and re-conceptualization to
the goal-oriented further development of teaching innovations, the
the promotion of strategic teaching developments and the exchange and transfer of results to the university and society. This
interaction spaces and networks are thus created in order to
diversity of single players in a new “community of practice”
community of practice, to enable peer learning and to expand the impact of
scaling of good practice to increase the impact of the projects.
While the lab provides spaces and structures to actively, sustainably and responsibly shape the digital transformation in university teaching, the three clusters with their total of eleven sub-projects are the focal point of the project. In the course of conducting and evaluating an analysis of the potential of digital teaching and learning at Leuphana, focal points were identified that have overlaps and synergy potential, but also represent important areas of the digitalization strategy on their own. The three clusters developed from these focal points: digital teaching/learning innovations, digital literacy and digital internationalization.
