Talk Lehre 2022
On June 20, 2022 (SuperC, 6th floor, 1pm to 6pm ), the twelfth edition of the Talk Lehre conference will take place. After two digital events, this year's conference will again be held as a face-to-face meeting. Please note that the originally scheduled event of June 1, 2022 had to be postponed.
Selected projects and best practice examples from teaching at RWTH Aachen University will once again be presented in a series of lectures. In addition, outstanding achievements in the field of teaching and learning will be honored with the RWTH Teaching Award.
The detailed agenda and information on how to sign up electronically will be published soon.
History of Talk Lehre
Talk Lehre was initiated in 2011 at the request of teachers and student representatives. The annual event informs teachers in particular, but also students and other interested university members, about the implementation of the Excellent Teaching institutional strategy. It also enables dialogue about teaching-related topics on a larger platform.
Diverse Topics
The Talk Lehre event has now taken place ten times with up to 200 participants on each occasion. The topic of focus changes every year. The Excellent Teaching contest of the Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft was the focus in the first year. In 2012, the conversation revolved around new teaching and learning media, while the following year looked at the topic of the beginning of studies, that is the transition from school to university, and qualification in teaching. Blended Learning was the key topic in 2014, while in 2015, the discussion was centered around the topics of quality management as well as digitalization in teaching and learning. In 2017, the event looked at the digitalization of teaching, while in 2019, it focused on the internationalization of teaching for the first time. The years 2020 and 2021 were entirely focused on the Corona crisis. Accordingly, the digitalization of teaching and the future of teaching at RWTH after the Corona pandemic were fittingly selected as key topics once again.
