Day of Teaching and Learning

The Day of Teaching and Learning is a university-wide conference that aims to raise appreciation for and the visibility of teaching and learning at our university. The next Day of Teaching and Learning will take place on April 10, 2024.

Studying and teaching on an attractive campus

The university's Day of Teaching and Learning (TdLL) will be held on-site for the first time in April 2024, focusing on the topic "Learning and teaching on an attractive campus!".

The TdLL is organized by the Vice Rectorate for Teaching and Continuing Education, together with the stuvus student council. As with the previous two Days of Teaching and Learning, you are cordially invited to submit contributions for the event. The event will focus on the following topics:

  • Campus living space - how can we make this (more) attractive?
  • Campus as an educational space - How are research and current topics communicated?
  • Study space models - What kind of learning environment would I like to study in?
  • Lecture room models - What do I need to be able to teach?
  • Teaching/learning formats - "Support and challenge" – Learning successfully together!
  • Study content - What is appealing to students today?

Submissions from lecturers, students, faculties, and central institutions are welcome. Please submit these by the end of the 2023/24 lecture period. Submit your contribution by e-mail.

Program

The program will be finalized after the contributions have been received. 

The foyers in Pfaffenwaldring 47 will be used as exhibition areas and interested exhibitors (stands or posters etc.) will be able to submit their contributions from 1 p.m. onwards. Two keynote speeches will kick off the TdLL in lecture hall V47.03 at 2:00 p.m. The official part of the TdLL will be followed by the presentation of the University of Stuttgart Teaching Awards 2022 and 2023, the stuvus Special Prizes 2022 and 2023 and the DAAD Prize for Outstanding Achievements of Foreign Students 2023. Afterwards, visitors will have the opportunity to attend presentations in various rooms. These will take place in parallel time slots. The Day of Teaching and Learning 2023 will end with snacks and drinks in the foyer from 5 p.m. onwards!

If you would like to contribute, but your idea is very different to the topics that have been suggested, this is also possible. Simply send us your idea! We must set time limits for the lecture-style formats, but the content is up to you. Whether you want to hold a discussion or run a workshop, anything is possible. 

You are welcome to submit your ideas in the following formats:

  • 45-minute
    workshop: Contributions in the form of workshops are participant-oriented. Content-related input is based on a clearly defined question. Participants are then given the opportunity to work on the input based on the question and reflect on it for themselves. Please also let us know the maximum group size.
  • 30-minute presentation: Contributions in the form of presentations are scheduled for a maximum of 30 minutes (20 min. presentation + 10 min. discussion). Presentations should unite practical experience with theoretical concepts and the findings presented must have a practical relevance.
  • 15-minute alternative formats: E.g., in the form of dialog-oriented contributions (knowledge or conversation café), posters, disputations, workshop sessions, theatrical and creative methods, role-playing and simulation games, etc.
  • Exhibition formats
    Posters, stands, guided tours etc.

Review Day of Teaching and Learning 2022

Shaping international teaching together

The second Day of Teaching and Learning (TdLL) took place in 2022 under the motto "Universität Stuttgart beyond THE LÄND!". Virtually, the participants exchanged ideas about international aspects in teaching and learned from each other. 

Review Day of Teaching and Learning 2021

How digital is good teaching?

The Day of Teaching and Learning 2021 had the motto “How digital is good teaching?” The event not only reflected on the experiences made during the Corona semesters, it also considered what is likely to happen in the future, when the university clearly expects a return to on-site university operations. The event was held online due to the Corona pandemic.
