Education

The chair’s team offers courses in the Master’s programmes ‘Learning Design – Digital Transformation in Education’ (M.A.) and ‘Education’ (M.A.), as well as the two-subject Bachelor’s programme ‘Education’ (B.A.). The focus is on media didactic content, which, depending on the course orientation, is addressed at the micro level of (media) didactic design, the meso level of the curriculum and educational institutions, and the macro level of theoretical approaches and educational policy context. 

In addition, the chair is responsible for the ‘Learning Design – Digital Transformation in Education’ (M.A.) programme. This programme is designed for graduates of bachelor’s programmes in education, psychology, and social sciences, focusing on the theoretical and application-oriented fundamentals of digitally supported teaching and learning formats for adult learners.
