The use of digital media in teaching offers many benefits. In order to draw fully on the potential of e-learning, however, (new) media-didactic concepts and an innovative approach to teaching are required.
The teaching staff are offered a close case advice to support them in the conception and implementation of teaching enriched by media didactics. Here the focus is on the sensitisation for new media and the individual support for the professional structuring of each teacher's own teaching methods with digital media.
The Mahara e-portfolio system offers each teacher and student a digital portfolio that can be designed and shared according to individual needs. For example, learning progress can be saved and presented in text, video, audio and image form. Furthermore, the connection to Moodle also makes the switchover between the learning management environment and the individual personal portfolio extremely easy.
The Moodle LMS (Learning Management System) provides each lecture with an additional online area, in which the students can work, exchange views and organise. Thanks to the high degree of flexibility ensured by Moodle – based on enhancements, it is ideally suited to complement the classroom teaching.
Adobe Connect is an outstanding web conference tool for use in teaching. In addition to the possibility of streaming screen contents to all participants via the internet, it is also possible to discuss, organise and work creatively using a digital whiteboard.
Smartboards are permanently available in rooms S102 and S104 for use in teaching. Here work can be undertaken on an interactive, collaborative and digital basis in the classroom teaching. The big advantage: the seminar results can be extremely easily digitally distributed, say, via Moodle, and the students can actively take part in the seminar themselves.
At the Folkwang Essen-Werden Campus, a media room with computers is available for students in the South Wing (Room S U4). In addition, computers are also available for research purposes in the various libraries. More information: locations of the libraries
