Course
Wie ein Brennglas hat die weltweite Coronavirus-Pandemie offengelegt, was in der Online-Bildung schon funktioniert und was noch nicht. Wer schnell etwas für die eigene und die öffentliche Gesundheit tun wollte, belegte Onlinekurse, zum Beispiel der Weltgesundheitsorganisation WHO. Und Beschäftigte, die ihr Arbeitspensum reduzieren mussten oder den Job gar ganz verloren, setzen nun ihre Hoffnung auf virtuelle IT-Lernangebote, um ihr Berufsleben zukunftssicher zu machen. Ganz zu schweigen von Lehrkräften, Jugendlichen und Eltern, welche mittlerweile – mehr oder weniger unfreiwillig - Experten für digitalen Schulunterricht in der Cloud geworden sind.
Im diesjährigen openHPI-Forum, welches erstmals virtuell stattfindet, möchten wir mit Ihnen diskutieren, wie Covid-19 sich auf unterschiedliche Bereiche ausgewirkt hat und erörtern, was mögliche Langzeitfolgen, was nur kurze Trends sind. Seien Sie dabei!
