NIDIT Lunch Bag Session | Intercultural communication in university teaching

• NIDIT Lunch Bag Session | Intercultural communication in university teaching (With Laura Fonzetti)

Scientists, journalists, politicians - many of them twitter. Twitter is currently the medium for the fast and direct dissemination of content as well as for a sector-specific and topic-oriented dialogue. In this workshop, users will learn how they can specifically integrate Twitter into science communication. We will discuss the target groups, functionalities and various settings of the short message service: creating and designing a Twitter profile, gaining followers, preparing and sharing good content. We also show practical examples and give tips and tricks on how to optimally use your own channel. No previous knowledge is required for this online training.

• NIDIT Lunch Bag Session | Didactic possibilities of using games in university teaching (tba (LevelUp))

Video games have long since left their place as a niche medium and established themselves in the mainstream. Playing digital games is part of the everyday life of most teachers, researchers and students - be it out of boredom, as a form of recreation, competitively or together with friends. The use of games with educational claims ("serious games") is also not new, but raises very specific questions, especially in the university context, which often cannot be covered in general. Regardless of the technical questions, it is worth taking a look at the medium itself: What makes a good game? What is motivating about a game? Which emotions are addressed and how? How can I use this for my teaching? And when does it even make sense? The lunch bag session offers an introduction for teachers who have not yet dealt with the medium or who have not yet had the technical confidence to do so.

• NIDIT Lunch Bag Sesseion | Badges and digital awards with ILIAS and Moodle (With Albrecht Metzler)

Digital awards for university staff in the form of badges are likely to become more important in the course of future LMS upgrades, but are already available to us now. In this LunchBag session, we will look at the functions, creation/design and awarding of badges within our learning management systems (ILIAS and Moodle). We will also talk about our respective uses in our LMS courses. An outlook on microdegrees and digital backpacks outside the university will round off the LunchBag session.

• NIDIT Lunch Bag Session | Instagram for university teachers (With Maraike Büst)

What does digital presence mean for me as a researcher and how does it influence my research? What role does social media play as a teacher in my course and how do students use social media in their academic environment?

Social media has already become a part of everyday life and leisure for many. Now that it has arrived in the academic environment, the channels, platforms and practices also permeate research, teaching and studies significantly.

We ask ourselves, what influence does social media have on research, teaching and studying and how can we in turn control this influence ourselves and take advantage of it for our needs?

• NIDIT Lunch Bag Session | Podcasts in Education (With Timothy Hörl, HRZ of JLU)

In this lunch bag session we will talk about audio podcast production. First, we will look at the characteristics and possibilities of this media format and the extent to which it can be profitably used in research and teaching.

Then we will show you how you can produce your own podcast - how your own voice gets onto the computer, how you can cut out any slips of the tongue and incorporate quotes from others (the "original sounds") as well as music and sounds (the "atmo") into your contribution.

Tablet, laptop (or smartphone) are required.
