eLearning
The Graduate Academy is pleased to announce our eLearning programme presented by TwentyOne Skills science hub, Gemanys largest eLearning platform for academics. The goal of this partnership is to complement our portfolio of face-to-face and online workshops with self-learning courses, so that you can easily and independently familiarize yourself with subjects and develop new skills.
Participation is free of charge and starts in Spring 2024. The courses are implemented in Moodle. Thus, you will need a university user account to join them.
The Course Programm
The eLearning programme currently offers around 30 courses across 6 thematic categories and is constantly being expanded and updated. Besides "bestsellers" such as Presentation Skills, Science Communication, Time Management or Leadership, there are also new topics that have recently become more popular, such as Agility, Design Thinking or Mental Health.
The eLearnings are offered in two formats: "Deep Dive" and "Nuggets".
Courses with a duration of 2-3 hours are called "Deep Dive". Here, a topic area is presented in detail. "Nuggets", on the other hand, concentrate on the specific teaching of a technique or method. Those who choose a nugget do not have to expect more than approximately 20 minutes of learning time.
Listed below is a list of the courses currently available in the eLearning programme:
