On May 6 and 7, 2020, more than 900 participants pooled their energy, ideas and skills and developed digital solutions for university teaching in Germany in working groups. The free format was organized by the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung, the KI-Campus and the DAAD and acts as a pilot for the DigiEduHack in November. In the roles of hacker and mentor, groups found themselves assigned to challenges that were assigned to one of the 15 topic clusters:
- Qualification & support of teachers
- Digital teaching in implementation
- Collaborative work and interaction (synchronous and asynchronous)
- Digital tools and data protection
- Digital Exams
- Digital student advising
- Digital campus life
- Peer support/help-seeking among students
- Internationalization & Virtual Mobility
- Practical study components & practical projects
- Research
- University management (e.g. change process & third mission)
- Digital student participation
- Educational equity & accessibility
- AI in digital higher education
A total of 76 projects came about, which can now be viewed publicly on incom. Communication took place via the mattermost platform, and there was a joint introduction and conclusion via Youtube livestream. OESA e.V. has developed the Toolbox, an independent and collaborative overview.
