Review and Documentation of the Conference
While the digital revolution continues to drive technological innovation forward, our commitment to being a forward-thinking international research university continues to push our research endeavours to the cutting-edge of science. Our students and early career researchers are keeping pace with this revolution and are equipping themselves with the latest smartphones, tablets, drones and other devices. It is, in turn, our responsibility - as a public institution of higher education - to keep up with their expectations and needs and thereby ensure that our teaching, our research as well as our learning infrastructure and methods are state-of-the-art.
Background of the conference
With this event, the University of Konstanz intended to set in motion a drive towards an enhanced and effective digitalisation, one that is characterised by structural diversity in its didactic concepts while taking relevant scientific methods, procedures and theories into consideration. Our invited experts provided scientific issues related to the digitalisation of teaching as well as presentations on best-practices of technology based teaching and learning and agreed upon three pillars towards successful implementation: empower, enable and equip!

Don’t call it E-Learning. Theories, strategies and services for digital media in teaching and learning
Dr. Andreas Weich, TU Braunschweig
Media technologies are a constitutive element of teaching and learning and therefore of the university as well. Universities are first and foremost an arrangement of media constellations – in terms of producing and distributing research resources as well as in terms of teaching and learning or even administration.

Towards a methodological approach for designing learning environments: focus on task design
Prof. Dr. Jozef Colpaert, Universiteit Antwerpen
The author will start with seven rather provocative statements on the use of technology
in (higher) education. He will then present Educational Engineering (EE) as a new way of designing education that better fits criteria based on his own experience,
worldwide practice and theory.

MOOCs at EPFL: lessons learned and future directions
Dr. Patrick Jermann, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne
The Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne was among the first universities
to join the MOOC movement in 2012. Since then, the school produced more than

Online and blended learning for distance students: examples and lessons learned
Dr. Daniëlle Verstegen, Universiteit Maastricht
Maastricht University has a strong history in Problem-Based Learning (PBL). PBL
has shown to be effective when students are on-campus and study full-time, but
how do we cater for master-level or post-academic students who are working
professionals and live far away?

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL)
Is a concept for teaching methods first developed in 2004 by the State University of New York which led to the foundation of the SUNY Center for Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL).
COIL aims at developing collaborative teaching and learning formats to foster interinstitutional and interdisciplinary collaboration and to increase international participation of students and teachers from partner institutions by using technology in a broad sense. The underlying concept for the team teaching and collaborative learning formats is based on a content driven approach to enhancing curricula. “The key thing to consider is not whether your discipline or even your course has an internationally-focused curriculum. Instead consider does your course have content that lends itself well to students working collaboratively in international groups. If so, the intercultural experiences can thus become an overlay to the existing course syllabus.” (http://coil.suny.edu/page/course-models)
