Workshop "Planning and conducting Hybrid Summer Schools" (online)

The planning and conducting a summer school during the lecture-free period presents a particular challenge in times of pandemic: For various reasons, the possibility of on-site participation can be severely limited or denied to some interested parties, even at short notice. However, optional online participation does not have to be a makeshift solution, as it also offers participants an inclusive opportunity in non-pandemic times who are tied to a particular location for family, work or financial reasons, for example.

In order for a hybrid summer school to be satisfactory for all participants - those on site as well as those connected online - the following didactic and technical questions, among others, must be considered in the design:

• How can a full-day/multi-day hybrid setting be designed appropriately and effectively?
• What are the technical requirements, what are the possible solutions?
• How can all participants be equally activated and involved? How can interaction and collaboration be supported?
• What different tasks do teachers have in this setting? What does this mean for personal and time planning?
• What alternatives can be envisioned for excursions and social encounters?

In a holistic approach, this workshop is jointly organised by the departments of E-Learning, Higher Education Didactics and the Media Centre (UB). It will provide impulses and approaches to solutions as well as the opportunity to exchange ideas and develop concepts for all teachers who are currently planning a summer school or a comparable format.

The workshop is the starting point for optional individual consulting to help you with your project. Further optional dates to clarify specific questions as well as an introduction to the video conferencing technology on site are planned.

The workshop is aimed at lecturers and study coordinators at the University of Freiburg.

Presenters: Dr. Nicole Wöhrle, Dorthe Hutz-Nierhoff, Leon Widmaier, Barbara Müller, Lisa Hüther-Pape, Jörg Zembruski, Sonja Bühler
