HigHRoQ: Hybrid, individual and tangible university teaching in Rosenheim quality

The university-wide HigHRoQ project aims to further develop the digitalization of teaching at Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences in a systematic, didactically sound and sustainable manner. The focus is on hybrid, individual and tangible teaching and learning formats that meaningfully combine digital and presence-based elements and open up new didactic possibilities for studying and teaching.
HigHRoQ thus addresses central challenges of the digital transformation of university teaching: the didactic integration of digital technologies, the further development of teaching-learning arrangements and the establishment of suitable support and infrastructure structures.

Project background

The advancing digitalization is fundamentally changing the requirements for university teaching. Teachers are faced with the task of not only using digital tools technically, but also integrating them into teaching concepts in a didactically reflective manner. At the same time, university-wide structures are needed to enable, test and consolidate teaching innovations.

HigHRoQ addresses this interface and combines teaching development, media didactic qualification and institutional infrastructure development to create an integrated approach to the digital transformation of teaching.

Project objective

The aim of HigHRoQ is to sustainably improve the quality of digitally supported teaching and to establish innovative hybrid teaching formats throughout the university.

The focus is particularly on:

the development and testing of hybrid teaching and learning formats,
the didactic development of digitally supported teaching and learning arrangements,
the qualification of teaching staff in the competent use of digital teaching and learning technologies,
the establishment of sustainable support and infrastructure structures for digital teaching.

Project procedure

HigHRoQ is supported by interdisciplinary teams of specialists from several faculties. Together with lecturers, they develop prototypical digital and hybrid teaching formats that are tested in real courses. A didactic and media-didactic support team assists lecturers in the design, implementation and reflection of digitally supported teaching. The E-Learning Center acts as a central infrastructure and service point for digital university teaching.

Methods:

The project work follows a prototypical development approach. Digital teaching-learning formats are designed, implemented, formatively evaluated and iteratively further developed. Various digital tools, hybrid teaching formats and media didactic concepts are used.

Innovation

The evaluation is primarily formative primarily formative and serves to develop the quality of digital teaching formats. Feedback from teachers and students is continuously incorporated into the optimization of the optimization of the developed concepts.

Results and impact:
HigHRoQ has contributed to the establishment of innovative digital and hybrid teaching formats formats and the professionalization of digital teaching at the Rosenheim Rosenheim University of Applied Sciences. The project has created university-wide structures that support digital teaching innovation and enable its sustainable use.

The experience and structures gained in the project and structures gained in the project form a central basis for further university higher education development processes in the field of digitally supported teaching.
