Staff Unit for Innovative Learning and Teaching/Higher Education Didactics

Tasks of the staff unit

With the focal points and projects of the bologna.lab, Humboldt-Universität intends to provide impetus throughout the university and contribute to quality development in teaching. This is linked to the overarching goals of sharpening the profile of good teaching and raising its status at the university.

To this end, the bologna.lab develops and promotes innovative formats that enable all those involved in teaching at HU to participate, create scope for testing teaching innovations and contribute to demand-orientated study design.

The bologna.lab offers students and teaching staff a wide range of opportunities for participation. On the one hand, students and lecturers are invited to actively participate in the development and testing of innovative teaching and learning formats in the focal areas. On the other hand, bologna.lab offers workshops, counselling and support to take up innovative formats and transfer them in an adapted form to their own teaching.
