The working group "Quality in Teaching and Learning," or AG QLS for short, is a university-wide network for quality development in studies and teaching. The goal of AG QLS is to initiate a continuous quality process within the university, which is supported and further developed by many members of the university community.
In various working groups, current issues are discussed, concepts are developed, recommendations are formulated, and pilot projects are launched and evaluated. All results are made public university-wide. They can be adopted for individual departments and, if necessary, further developed into university standards. One outcome of the QLS working group's work is the "Principles for Good Teaching," which are enshrined in the university's statutes.
Currently active action groups are:
- AI in teaching
- Videos in teaching
- VR/AR in teaching
A key foundation of the QLS working group is its network structure. All students and university members can contribute to the network without having to be formally appointed or nominated. A primary criterion for participation is the motivation to actively contribute to the quality development of our university. In the plenary meetings, held once or twice per semester, all network members meet to share information about developments, act as multipliers for their respective areas, develop project proposals, and jointly decide on the further development of the working group's content.
Currently, various action groups are addressing different topics and issues. Profiles of these action groups are available in the QLS working group's Moodle course, which is open to all university members.
New groups can be formed at any time by interested individuals. Active participation in existing action groups is also possible.
The QLS working group is organizationally supported by the coordination group. Questions and contact requests can be directed to the coordination group.
