Workshop on "Learning from Experiences on Hybrid and Online Teaching during COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond - Consequences for Future Teaching and Research"

INTRODUCTION
In the age of digitization, digital infrastructure is the foundation of educational institutions. The cross-curricular use of digital media in the classroom and in extracurricular activities offers the opportunity to teach content more successfully, to make teaching more attractive for young people, and makes an important contribution to the acquisition of digital skills. Almost all stakeholders agree on this awareness. There are experts in research and education throughout the world who have been researching the topic from various angles for years, as well as several software and hardware providers.

CHALLENGES

However, if we are suddenly forced to organize lessons from home, as it recently happened as a result of the pandemic, we are entering new territory as parents, students and teachers, as well as on a social and institutional level. Suddenly, spontaneous pragmatic solutions are needed in order to be able to work at all. As a result, there is unintentionally little room for considering concerns, and data protection issues also tend to take a back seat. Overall, it shows how important simple, pragmatic and proven solutions are for digitally supported educational processes.

CHANCES AND QUESTIONS
The “crisis” experienced offers a great opportunity to discuss the best-practice solutions that have emerged in the process, some of which were born out of necessity, and to analyze their strengths and weaknesses. Questions about suitable solutions for face-to-face teaching and for teaching and learning from home must also be mastered in the future. Good concepts are needed to enable participation and needs-based didactic support for all in hybrid and online education.

INTERACTIVE FORMAT
In this interactive format, the authors plan to approach together with stakeholders the definition of pragmatic requirements for all participants of the educational process. An open format will be chosen, with the following starting points, which will be added to during the event:

As a result of the format, the authors plan to write a manifesto together with all interested attendees with recommendations for action to inspire future digital educational concepts. The focus is on a mix of healthy pragmatism and innovation.
