Content
Do you sometimes wonder how your students can actually remember and transfer the content you teach in your (online) university class? Due to the COVID-19 crisis schools and universities all around the world were forced to use digital learning methods. But even assuming a seamless transition to digital platforms, good Online Learning tools do not imply good content and a good presentation of the content. The way we learn (online and offline) is actually a field where neuroscience meets education – or should meet, in my opinion. My research field is neurodidactics – a relatively young research discipline in which neuro and educational science as well as psychological findings are interlocked. University lecturers, trainers, and learners can benefit from the transfer of neuroscientific findings on neuroplastic changes in the brain and the resulting opportunities for teaching and learning.
This rainbow course invites all IK participants to get an up-to-date summary of my research area – neurodidactics – and how to create brain-stimulating Online Content for students. I will also offer a more detailed overview of my current research entitled „Brain-stimulating Online Learning content for a youth migrant and refugee EU project“ and of my ongoing research on whether the roles and attitude of teachers and learners should change.
