Digitalization is also changing the specialist skills that students need to learn in order to be prepared for the challenges of an increasingly digitalized living and working environment. This requires, among other things, new research methods, interconnected and time-shifted working, and innovative teaching content such as the use of virtual reality.
Lecturers at Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) use digital technologies for their research-based and practice-oriented teaching.
The rapid development of AI applications and digital tools opens up new opportunities and solutions, for example to make teaching and learning processes more flexible in terms of time, more family-friendly and more inclusive, to reduce administrative hurdles and to support internationalization through digitally supported location-independent formats across national borders.
Students not only acquire subject-specific and interdisciplinary digital skills, but are also encouraged to take a critical and reflective approach to digital technologies and virtual media.
Thanks to central support at various levels, digital teaching and studying is possible everywhere at Ruhr University Bochum.
Center for Science Didactics
The Centre for Teaching and Learning (Zentrum für Wissenschaftsdidaktik, ZfW) has extensive information, events, advice, and other offerings for students on the subject of digital learning. The eTeam Digitalization is available to answer any questions about e-learning.
Data.Literacy@RUB
With Data.Literacy@RUB, the RUB Center for Research Methods offers a teaching and learning concept for data literacy and data science.
RUB's digital strategy formulates measures in the area of studying and teaching.
Central areas of action of the digital strategy in studying and teaching
With online services and technical solutions, RUB has significantly simplified organizational tasks for students so that they can concentrate even better on their studies.
The introduction and further development of a new campus management system as a uniform, comprehensive, and seamless tool for the entire university plays a central role. Online applications and enrollment are already possible via this central campus management tool.
