TEACHING & LEARNING
AoL Door Knocking Day
On Friday, the 24.05.2019 the AOL Door Knocking Day took place.
The aim of the event was to inform a wider group of teachers and students about the quality management system for teaching and learning at MCI!
AOL stands for Assurance of Learning and is faculty driven! It is important to us that all stakeholders are informed about the topic and are actively involved in the quality assurance of teaching and learning at MCI!
The students were also invited to participate in AOL Contest where they could learn more about AOL and win attractive prizes.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the AOL working group for their active support!
More information about the AOL, the event and AOL Contest can be found at https://www.mci.edu/learningsolutions
HSTalks Webinar Recording
Dear colleagues!
On the 30.05 we had an HSTalks webinar with focus on the use of HSTalks video collection in teaching and learning. At the webinar, Noelle Rollings from HSTalks introduced us to the video categories, the topics and the structure of the video collection. In addition, the functions and the use of the collection in teaching as well as the embedding of the videos in Sakai, search function, filtering of contents, etc. were discussed.
The recording of the webinar can be found here.

Labster Webinars
Dear colleagues,
as you may know, some MCI programs use virtual Labster simulations to enhance the learning experience of the students. The simulations are used in various didactic formats in the classroom:
in-class activity
flipped classroom
pre-lab exercise
safety-training
simulating inaccessible equipment
If you are interested in how and in which settings you may use computer simulations or similar learning materials in your class, visit Labster webinars, where the use of these formats for teaching and learning is discussed in more details.
Here are just some recordings from the previous webinars:
Can VR simulations replace traditional science labs?The Future of EdTechFlipped Science Teaching

Webinar: Is digital media revolutionising higher education?
Digital media have been used in university teaching for more than 20 years. The resulting possibilities have led to a multitude of new teaching and learning formats and made new offers in study and teaching possible. But can we therefore speak of a revolution, i.e. a fundamental change, in higher education? The speakers will invite you to a "debate" in which you can participate directly in the pro/contra discussion via the chat function.
