The University of Stuttgart will promote innovative teaching formats and AI skills through INTERACT and CampusConnect from 2025.
Universities in digital change: New projects for the future of teaching!
The University of Stuttgart has taken a significant step in digital higher education today. She receives funding for two pioneering projects. These are “Networked Teaching and Learning for the Future” (INTERACT) and “CampusConnect – Sharing Innovative Education”, both of which are intended to set new standards in teaching uni-stuttgart.de reported.
The INTERACT project has the central goal of permanently integrating inter- and transdisciplinary learning formats into teaching. The students should not only acquire specialist knowledge, but also learn to work together in teams across disciplines. The focus is on developing practical solutions for complex challenges. INTERACT therefore aims to promote essential skills.
CampusConnect and its goals
In the joint application “CampusConnect”, seven universities are working together on cross-university learning scenarios under the leadership of TU Hamburg. The initiative intends to network students and teachers across Germany and thereby create more flexibility at an institutional and structural level. The practical implementations include joint digital teaching and learning structures, flexible study offerings and the mutual recognition of study achievements. The cooperation partners include the Bauhaus University Weimar and the Technical University of Dresden.
These measures are in line with the federal-state initiative for the digitalization of higher education. The initiative aims to modernize the university landscape and make higher education more open, fair and international. Digital technologies, especially artificial intelligence (AI), play a crucial role in this. How bmbf.de explains, they enable individualization of learning and promote flexibility and mobility.
Diversity of digital projects
As part of the federal-state initiative, 54 projects have been approved so far, with a funding volume of 130 million euros. These projects promote the acquisition of AI skills and the development of AI-based tools. The variety of projects ranges from the development of AI-supported learning and support offerings to interdisciplinary study courses and certificate programs.
An exemplary project is, for example, the INTER-AGENT project at the Charité, which develops AI teaching content for health professions. At the University of Stuttgart, the IKILeUS project is also creating a modular range of courses to strengthen AI skills. These initiatives are part of a broader movement toward higher performance higher education that meets the needs of students and faculty alike ki-campus.org describes.
Overall, the current developments at the University of Stuttgart and the federal-state initiatives show how important digital learning is in higher education. The emphasis is not only on technological innovations, but also on the continuous training and qualification of students and teachers.
