These didactic methods are not only important for the extended scientific context (symposia, conferences, scientific discussion forums), but can also be useful in non-university everyday life. In order to run these forms of interaction successfully, we discuss and practice different techniques. | Registration is possible until 30.04.2024 here. |
Gamification in Teaching | 23.05.2024 10:00-17:00 CET | Onsite, Campus in Munich | TUM | Teaching can be an enormous amount of fun. Gamification is one way to ensure that both you and your students enjoy the knowledge transfer. There is a wide range of ways to incorporate gamification into your teaching. In this course, you will work with your own material and implement gamification mechanisms immediately. The focus is on the implementation of gamification mechanisms, but the underlying theory is not neglected. | Registration is possible until 09.05.2024 here. |

Using humour in the classroom | 07.06.2024 09:00-17:00 CET | Online | TUM | This online workshop aims to help lecturers to use humour in the classroom successfully. We will discuss how humour can be used as a tool to boost content retention and to heighten our rapport with students. Although we will discuss some theories related to humour, the main design of the course is to be as practical as possible. It will provide participants with a range of techniques designed to bring fun and humour to the classroom, and participants will practice a number of techniques themselves through controlled exercises. As well as considering good practice, the course will also point out types of humour to avoid, including forms of humour that may be culturally inappropriate or offensive. | Registration is possible until 24.05.2024 here. |
