    Advanced AI tools such as Google NotebookLM are fundamentally changing academic working practice and presenting teachers with new didactic challenges. In order to move from a reactive approach to a proactive design, participation in this program not only offers a forum for collegial exchange: We offer you a summarizing framework that integrates experiences already gained, knowledge of different tools, implementation ideas and examination scenarios, focusing on didactic concepts, new assessment and examination formats, the handling of AI-generated texts and questions of academic integrity. The aim is to support lecturers in the professionally sound and responsible use of AI and to jointly develop practical solutions. You will receive impulses on AI tools, input on legal requirements (e.g. AI guidelines for universities, EU AI regulation) but also the time to incorporate your thoughts into concrete course planning.

     

    YOU AS A PARTICIPANT

    • implement knowledge and experience already acquired about and with AI tools in a didactically meaningful concept.
    • analyze and discuss the effects of AI tools on traditional assessments such as seminar papers and portfolios.
    • develop alternative forms of examination and assessment that meaningfully integrate or methodically regulate the use of AI.
    • benefit from practical tips and advice on how to use AI competently (e.g. source selection, prompt design, verification of results).
    • Benefit from peer-to-peer exchange and promote networking and knowledge transfer between Bavarian universities.

    The design of legal courses always presents us lecturers with particular challenges, especially in non-subject-specific courses. That's why we want to meet for the 13th time this winter semester for a collegial exchange.
    This time, the focus will be on teaching and testing with AI.

    Paul Dölle will introduce you to working with an interactive avatar that enables relevant dialogs based on an LLM. Students can answer questions, talk to clients, practice interview questions and verbalize their knowledge, receive test access to ExamSim and can use their own skills to evaluate the applicability in their subject context. Paul Dölle is currently founding a UG with this software from the University of Bayreuth. Various scenarios are already being widely used there.

    Furthermore, we want to discuss current topics in legal didactics and use the time to exchange experiences so that we can all benefit from each other in the best possible way for our courses.

     

    YOU AS PARTICIPANTS

    • recognize the relevance of the use of AI for your teaching activities.
    • develop strategies for the use of AI avatars in teaching.
    • can evaluate the ExamSim platform.
    • maintain a collegial exchange with colleagues.

    In a rapidly changing world, it is crucial to prepare students for the challenges of the future. This course is aimed at teachers who want to learn how Future Skills can be integrated into their existing courses.

    This course will first provide an overview of what is meant by the term Future Skills. Innovative teaching methods and techniques that promote the learning of future skills will then be presented. The focus will be on sharing successful examples (e.g. the additional study program "Digital Skills" at OTH Regensburg). Participants will also discuss the advantages and challenges of interdisciplinary courses and co-teaching. They will also look at how digital tools and platforms can be used to enrich the teaching-learning process and actively involve students. Finally, possibilities will be shown for making future skills visible on LinkedIn, e.g. through badges.

     

    YOU AS A PARTICIPANT

    • name and identify the importance of future skills in modern education.
    • evaluate and reflect on methods for promoting future skills in teaching.
    • develop further innovative teaching methods and techniques for promoting future skills.
    • name the advantages and challenges of interdisciplinary courses.
    • name and use digital tools and platforms to enrich the teaching-learning process.

  • Testing: AI, written exam and competencies

    Review of the 9th Digital Teaching Day

    The Digital Teaching Day took place for the ninth time on Thursday, September 25, 2025 - this year hosted by OTH Regensburg, which had invited to the event together with the University of Regensburg. Under the motto "Testing: AI, exams and skills", the focus was on current challenges and opportunities relating to digital examination formats, skills orientation and the use of artificial intelligence in university teaching. Numerous experts, lecturers and interested parties from colleges and universities from all over Germany accepted the invitation to exchange ideas on these forward-looking topics, network and make personal contacts on site.

    Impulses, exchange and practical relevance

    Vice President for Studies and Teaching at OTH Regensburg, Prof. Dr. Birgit Rösel, welcomed the participants after a reception with coffee and tea to open the Digital Teaching Day. Prof. Dr. Dominik Herrmann from the University of Bamberg then provided the first thematic impetus with his pointed keynote speech "Examinations and AI: from symptom to system issue". With impressive clarity, he used three practical examples to show how the availability of AI tools challenges university teaching - and why new examination formats are needed that make real performance visible under real conditions, ensure equal opportunities and counteract self-deception about supposedly acquired skills.

    Under the guiding principle of fundamentally questioning examinations and teaching in light of AI-supported tools, the subsequent guided poster walk offered space for exchange and inspiration. Participants were given insights into tried-and-tested examples of good practice in alternative examination formats, AI-supported assessment and skills-oriented teaching. The dialog with the presenting experts made it clear how diverse and creative universities are already responding to the systemic challenges.

    After a refreshing lunch break with stimulating discussions, the afternoon focused on the practical deepening of the event motto:

    In three parallel workshops, the participants dealt intensively with the didactic design of digital learning spaces, explored the potential of Large Language Models - from task development to evaluation, or discussed approaches on how competence-oriented examinations can be implemented with AI support and digital tools.

     

    Conclusion

    A concluding coffee break led to a moderated summary, during which key findings were jointly reflected upon. The consistently positive feedback made it clear that the event not only provided valuable impetus for a future-oriented examination culture, but also showed how creatively and responsibly digital technologies can be put at the service of skills development.
