Digital teaching and learning

In an age of rapid technological advancement, digital learning has become an integral part of modern higher education. This page aims to provide you with insights and practical tips to enhance your digital teaching skills and strengthen the potential of our university's Moodle platform and the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

  • Digital tools are breaking down the traditional barriers in the lecture hall and enabling students to engage with course material anytime, anywhere.
  • Technology enables adaptive and individualized approaches to learning.
  • By integrating digital tools, we help students develop critical technology skills for their future careers.

Digital learning and AI is not about replacing traditional teaching, but enhancing it. By embracing these tools, we can create more dynamic, inclusive and effective learning environments.

 

At the Senate meeting on June 4, 2025, Pforzheim University agreed on guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in teaching and studies to help students, teachers and researchers create a safe environment for the effective and appropriate use of artificial intelligence in teaching and studies.

Through bwGPT, an AI-based chatbot platform is available to students and staff at Pforzheim University via Moodle. Further information can be found here.

Before using artificial intelligence, we recommend that you find out how it works. The University of Freiburg provides a clear training course to introduce you to generative AI systems. You can find further training materials via the AI Campus, the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung or the Hochschulnetzwerk Digitalisierung BW.
