The partnerships form the project's core. Lecturers and student groups at the Goethe University who develop innovative digital learning designs and implement them in practice are entitled to apply. For this purpose, they should connect with each other and with experts from the support units.
In relation to the contents "Methods and Mediation" and "Feedback and Activation", new concepts are thus continuously developed, tested and, after evaluation of the results, made widely usable. At least one of eight thematic topics for innovative digital learning designs needs to be addressed – those being self-learning tools, the use of AR/VR, research-based learning and formative peer assessments on the one hand, adaptive testing, electronic exams, automated feedback and learning analytics on the other hand. The cross-sectional topics diversity and accessibility, as well as constructive alignment, ensure that the differentiated needs of Frankfurt's heterogeneous student body are taken into account and that the focus is on increasing academic success.
The funding period for projects is 12 months, with the option of extension. The funding volume for each funded project amounts to one employee position of 0.5 VZÄ E13, one assistant position of 40 hours per month and material resources of up to € 3,000.
The second and initially last DigiTeLL call for proposals ended on September 25, 2022. A final decision was made on the applications and the funded applicants were informed so that the selected partnerships can start in the following summer semester of 2023.
