The use of media (transparencies, posters, flipcharts) to visualise interrelations, and beamers including related software applications, electronic media for large-scale projections and videoconferencing.
• Exemplary learning by experience, i.e. forms of knowledge transmission which consist in effective guidance towards a self-reliant acquisition of knowledge and a rational and critical handling of information using simulation and exercise studies in lectures, project work and project-oriented learning (POL) to replace structured ex-cathedra lecturing.
• Study programmes which integrate different places of learning, e.g. dual study programmes which combine company-based training with university studies, or integrated study programmes for students with a professional background which combine three places of learning: the university, professional practice, and self-studies in a private setting.
• Mobile learning (“ubiquitous” learning), i.e. exploiting mobile technologies which enable learning at any place, such as CD ROM-enabled learning, and Web-based teaching and learning.
• Problem-oriented learning (POL), which employs teaching and learning methods for working on issues in small-size groups, is currently used in blended learning arrangements. POL wants to lead students to study specific issues independently in selected steps that are characteristic of a profession. Typical of POL, an exemplary learning process with a specific link to practice that is geared to interaction and self-reliance is triggered in small groups, and prompts different forms of student cooperation. By exemplary learning from experience, students are empowered to cope with tasks during their studies in a problem-oriented and interdisciplinary approach.
