For all teachers

The Centre for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ZHL) acts as a service point for any questions you may have regarding teaching at the University of Bayreuth. We support and consult research associates, doctoral students and postdocs as well as lecturers as they prepare, conduct and revise their individual teaching.

Our goal is to refine teaching, support innovation and individual projects, and encourage mutual exchange on teaching. In the process, we take a competence-oriented approach. Apart from that, we support funding proposals in order to improve teaching and encourage the use of digital resources in teaching. 

The Centre for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ZHL) supports teachers by:

• Consulting on individual development
• Providing feedback on digital learning tools, e.g. e-learning
• Hospitation and supporting teaching development
• Ideas and impulses for didactic innovation
• Well-structured certificate programs
• Lending media (e.g. presentation kits or video studio)
• Training and funding student assistants (especially e-tutors) 

Offers

The ZHL coordinates and finances workshops with well selected, experienced and innovative speakers. We also organise experts for individual coachings (e.g. during advanced seminars or the certificate program ‘Digital Resources in Teaching’).

You can find a list of all ZHL courses on this page. You can book courses on www.profilehreplus.de.

Contents

All workshops and seminars are divided into five different subject areas. Those areas reflect the respective fields of activity of teaching, as well as the areas of Bavarian certificates for higher education teaching:

• Section A: Teaching-Learning Concepts
• Section B: Presentation and Communication
• Section C: Examination
• Section D: Reflection and Evaluation
• Section E: Consulting and Supporting

This distribution of different areas is in line with the standards we have developed in collaboration with the committee “Netzwerk ProfiLehre”, which all Bavarian universities are part of, as well as the project “profiLehrePlus”. The contents follow nationwide certificates.
