Making digital teaching accessible
3. Selected teaching methods
The following table provides an overview of selected methods for synchronous teaching. The list of methods is sorted according to their area of application - introductory phase, working phase, final phase. The social form - individual work, partner work, group work, plenary - is noted next to the name of the method. In the following column, you will find a brief description of the method, often supplemented with information on analogue, digital or hybrid variants. This is followed by the advantages and disadvantages of the respective method with a focus on approval for everyone and the implementation of an inclusive classroom.
The UDL (Universal Design for Learning) forms the basis for assessing the approval of a method. The advantages and disadvantages mentioned mainly relate to digital formats and the use of digital tools. It is always a prerequisite that the tools used are accessible and that approval can be obtained from the Internet.
This overview is based on Brinker, T. & Schumacher, E.-M. (2022). Digital, analogue and hybrid empowerment. New ideas for university teaching. Bern: hep. The page numbers in column 5 also refer to this publication.
Further suggestions for teaching methods, but without an overview of their advantages and disadvantages, can be found on the Internet, e.g. in the collection of methods of the University of Landau.
