Projects & Networks
The Digital Education team is involved in various projects and networks that centre around the topic of digital higher education, which we outline below.
Projects
Digital Transformation (2021-2024)
In the target agreements for 2021-2024, the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the state’s higher education institutions agreed to an extensive digitisation programme for the universities’ administrations, as well as for studies and teaching.

Digitisation of Teacher Education (2021-2023)
As part of a special programme to support the digitisation of teacher education, we are collaborating with the areas responsible for teaching the didactics of the individual subjects to create so-called ‘Classrooms of the Future’ and LearnL@bs for teaching students competencies linked to digitisation.
Project management: Prof. Roland Rosenstock

Network
At university level: Centre for Teacher Education and Educational Research at the University of Greifswald
Digitisation and teacher education go hand in hand. We are part of the working group Digitisation at GULB [de] and regularly exchange on technological and didactics needs.
At state level: Competence Network for Higher Education and Media Didactics MV
The support units for university didactics and digital education in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern’s five university towns (Greifswald, Neubrandenburg, Rostock, Stralsund, Wismar) formed a network in 2021 to exchange and pass on advice related to the demands, problems and projects for qualifying members of teaching staff, and to pool didactics offers in a joint university calendar.

At national level: Hochschulforum Digitalisierung
The Hochschulforum Digitalisierung is a national orchestrator in the field of digital education. As the only participating higher education institution in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, we are involved in several formats in which we represent the perspective of smaller universities. By taking part in the network, we are able to consolidate our networking activities throughout Germany.
At national level: Network of state institutions for digital university teaching (NeL)
The Netzwerk der Landeseinrichtungen für digitale Hochschullehre (NeL) is the association of initiatives at the federal state level that support universities in digitalization. The University of Greifswald is represented here via the Competence Network for Higher Education and Media Didactics MV (Kompetenznetzwerk für Hochschul- und Mediendidaktik Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, KHM MV).
Project cooperation
LeNie - Interuniversity teaching network "Niederdeutsch vermitteln" (2023-2026)
The teaching network "Niederdeutsch vermitteln" (LeNie) promotes inter-university cooperative teaching and teacher training in Low German. OER are created in five expert groups and exchanged in the teaching network. In order to take into account the current understanding of digital university teaching, the network's teachers acquire key digital skills in continuing education workshops. The digital teaching team supports the LeNie project team in this. The network project is funded by the Foundation for Innovation in University Teaching.
