Higher – educational Seminar offers
The Center for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education at the University of Bayreuth (FBZHL) offers a various selection on further-education courses, which can be easily distinguished by the target audience and their substantial orientation. The target audience of our courses are all lecturers at the University of Bayreuth but every other lecturer at other Bavarian universities can participate in our courses, too.
Target audience
Due to different interests and terms of reference we distinguish the participants of seminars between
- Professors, Habilitation
- Academic Associates
- Student tutors
Seminar categories
The offered content can be divided into four categories
- The general interdisciplinary offer, for which every lecturer can register at www.profilehreplus.de/en/seminars.
- Subject-specific courses are orientated on the participants, who mainly engage in subject-specific sectors. Usually this kind of seminars are developed in prior consultation with the participants. Every lecturer is invited to submit her or his ideas.
- In seminars for professors and post-docotral lecturers, the speakers deal with special topics that particularly concern the target group of executives.
- Seminars specifically for students prepare them for their tutoring tasks. The training of so-called e-tutors is also assigned to this area.
Substance
Every seminar is subdivided into five thematic spheres. The thematic spheres mirror the area of practice of lectures in studies:
- Section A: Teaching and Learning Concepts
- Section B: Presentation and Communication
- Section C: Examination
- Section D: Reflection and Evaluation
- Section E: Advising and Mentoring
Nationwide standards
This division into subject areas corresponds to the standards that we set together with the committee "ProfiLehre Network", in which all Bavarian universities are represented, as well as the project "ProfiLehrePlus".
