Online PEER COACHING

Times of crisis are challenging, but they also offer new opportunities. In digital teaching, a visit to a colleague's course is possible in an uncomplicated way without much effort. This was already used spontaneously and profitably by some colleagues in the summer semester 2020. Therefore, we have decided to offer the proven concept of peer coaching in addition to the presence in the future in the online format.

Online Peer Coaching offers you a framework for professional development and self-evaluation to develop your teaching competence in the digital space.

If you value the exchange with colleagues, want to benefit from the knowledge of others, or like to share your own knowledge, you can do so in a structured way within a moderated process. Lecturers at our university form professional learning networks to develop themselves further, particularly in the area of digital teaching, by visiting each other's digital courses and discussing their approaches to teaching. This special form of collegial exchange and learning is based on mutual respect and enjoyment of joint ongoing development.

It is not about an exam, an evaluation or negative criticism, but about looking over each other's shoulders to share knowledge, experiences and ideas and to discuss different possible solutions. The focus is on getting to know alternative ways of working and encouraging digital didactics, exchange and communication.

Formats

Different formats are possible.

  •     Two lecturers form a tandem and advise each other on their virtual courses.
  •     Alternatively, teams of up to five lecturers can be formed.

We are also happy to organize the possibility of attending an open course (without the actual peer coaching involving intensive mutual consulting).

Procedure

As part of the online peer coaching, you will receive support in the form of organizational supervision of the entire process:

  • digital welcome workshop of the participants
  • digital group meetings of the tandems/teams
  • mutual digital course visits (hospitations)
  • reflection round with tandem partner/team
  • final round/feedback round of all participants  

All meetings take place digitally. You will receive accompanying materials to support you and organizational support will also be provided beyond that.

Registration

You can register directly for participation in Peer Coaching here.

  • either directly as a tandem or small group
  • or as an individual for a matching with other interested persons

If you do not want a classic peer coaching with follow-up reflection, but only want to offer others the opportunity to participate in your course once as a guest or would like to be invited by others yourself, you can also register this request.
