WueGlobal – Writing, Learning, Digital Connection for Tutors

This module-based qualification program prepares students to productively contribute to and assist in virtual formats for transnational teaching cooperation. Foundational Training for Global Tutors and International Writing Fellows introduces students to the methodological and didactic fundamentals of peer-to-peer online teaching, but also provides practical guidance (for example, in planning e-tutorials, giving writing-didactic input during seminars, and offering peer-to-peer academic writing consultations)
In the continuation of the qualification program, thematically focused training units and supervision by writing specialists are supplemented by individually tailored training elements (such as accompanying writing consultations and courses taught by certified tutors/consultants as well as creating reflective work portfolios). Advanced Training units expand intercultural competencies, prepare students for conducting writing consultations in online settings, and support first forays into the development of educational videos, blogposts, and podcasts backed up by media and learning psychology research.
