Instructions for didactic workshops
Hard Facts
Didactic workshops aim to present teaching materials that have been developed on the basis of research, tested in practice or evaluated in empirical studies.
At the conference, these teaching materials will be offered as part of a "market" and made available to the conference participants for 90 minutes each in a supervised form.
Program & structure
- 7 didactic workshops will take place in parallel in one session. (See program: Didactic workshop I + Didactic workshop II)
- We will provide you with a "small island" (1-2 tables) for the presentation of your materials.
- Participants are ivited to wander from table to table and - just like at a trade fair - try out materials and ask you questions.
Materials & documents
- You are welcome to use PowerPoint slides for your presentation, which you can present on your own laptop or tablet at your own table.
- You can also run the slides automatically.
- We would ask you to fully charge the device before the start of the session so that no additional power supply is required.
- You are welcome to bring all materials and documents that are suitable for display and presentation on a table and that represent the content of your workshop.
