Counselling services

Do you have didactic questions about your teaching? Are you currently planning changes in one of your degree programmes and could use new perspectives from outside? Are you considering using students as tutors in your teaching? Do you find OER exciting and are unsure how you can integrate it into your teaching? Are you looking for inspiration to evaluate your digital teaching?

If you have these and many other questions, the Educational Innovation and University Didactics Unit is the right place for you. On this page you will find an overview of our current counselling services. We will also be happy to advise you on any other concerns you may have and, if necessary, connect you with other cooperation partners within and outside Paderborn University.

Innovative concepts for your teaching

Would you like to change something in your own course or perhaps for your department? Are you looking for new ideas, concepts and methods? Are you planning a completely new teaching project or innovative forms of examination?

We offer you comprehensive, personal advice on the didactic design and implementation of lectures, seminars, exercises, practicals, tutorials and entire modules and degree programmes. From initial planning to micro-didactic fine-tuning - our experts will support and guide you in designing your courses in a way that promotes learning. This can include the formulation of competence-oriented learning outcomes, suitable forms of examination, didactic methods, dealing with learning groups, analysing and interpreting evaluations and much more.

Work shadowing

We are also happy to visit you in your day-to-day teaching. You will receive personalised feedback from experienced university didactics experts after an observation - specifically on the topics that concern you. You can arrange individual visits with us for this purpose.

All counselling requests will of course be treated confidentially.

Individual university didactic coaching for professors

Are you a professor or junior professor at Paderborn University and would like to be coached by experienced university didactics experts in a 1:1 constellation with regard to your teaching activities? Then we would be happy to support you with our individual university didactics coaching.

The way in which lecturers organise their teaching is highly individual. As their experience grows, teachers develop their own routines and strategies for preparing and conducting courses, examinations and counselling students. At times, their own demands and the external framework conditions can be at odds, for example in terms of time resources.

Coaching in higher education didactics offers professors and junior professors at Paderborn University the opportunity to take a systematic look at their own teaching. In individual cases, experienced lecturers can also take advantage of the offer. In cooperation with an external coach, a selection is made from the spectrum of possible university didactic topics and then worked on in a solution-oriented manner.

Are you interested? We would be happy to arrange a non-binding preliminary discussion with you.
