Global E-Teaching Fellowships: New funding programme at the University of Freiburg for digital teaching collaborations with international partner universities

Digital learning and teaching in international, intercultural and global contexts: Global E-Teaching Fellowships offer teaching staff at the University of Freiburg a low-threshold opportunity to conceptualize and implement teaching projects with partner universities worldwide.

Funding of up to EUR 5,000 is available for projects that seek to (further) develop digital and global learning and teaching scenarios with partner universities around the globe. Commonly known by the terms Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) or Virtual Exchange, these projects allow collaborating teaching staff to focus on facilitating and moderating dialogue and interaction among students in an academic (disciplinary or interdisciplinary) course setting.

To learn more about the positive effects of digital and global learning and teaching scenarios for both students and teaching staff, read our collection of Best Practices.

 

Information sessions

Two information sessions on the call for applications for Global E-Teaching Fellowships will be held in autumn. These sessions will provide an overview of the programme guidelines, an opportunity for exchange with teachers who have already successfully implemented a digital course with partners, advice on the conception and implementation of project ideas as well as support in match-making with partner universities. There will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
