Dear Learning Community,
Summer is just around the corner and now is your last chance to stock up on knowledge before the hot days arrive. This week you can still participate in the cloud computing course with certificate of achievement and from next week the world of quantum computing awaits you. The courses for schools will run until the summer vacations and especially for teachers the LERNEN.Cloud-Forum starts on June 17 in presence on the Campus Griebnitzsee.
18.5.2022 - 1.6.2022 | 3 hours per course week | Prerequisites: none | German
It is thanks to cloud computing that virtually any person on the Internet can easily create their own website without any programming knowledge. In this free course, Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel and research assistants Daniel Köhler and Hendrik Steinbeck explain how exactly this technology works, what else it is useful for, and what security issues you should be aware of. The multimedia course is supplemented by tutorials and interviews with experts in cloud technologies for education and public administration.

Introduction to Quantum Computing: Part 1
01.6.2022 - 14.6.2022 | 3-6h per course week | Prerequisite: general knowledge of mathematics | German.
A pair of socks that can be red and blue at the same time, but is one color. Atomic nuclei, electrons, light particles that are in several places at once and spookily connected - there is no shortage of comparisons and explanations for the phenomena behind quantum technologies, but hardly anyone really understands them. In this course with Prof. Bettina Just from THM (Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen), quantum bits with their strange properties, quantum gates and the mathematical basics of the emerging key technology Quantum Computing will be explained in an understandable way - and with only basic mathematical knowledge.
Successful participation in this course, together with other courses on openHPI, entitles the student to take a supervised exam in the winter term 22/23, which offers the possibility to receive ECTS credits. The exact conditions will be announced on the openHPI Quantum channel. Please clarify a creditability in advance with your study office.

Quantum Information and Cryptography: part 1
15.6.2022 - 28.6.2022 | 3-6h per course week | Prerequisite: basic IT knowledge | German.
Encryptions that withstand attacks from conventional computers for millennia can be cracked by quantum computers within seconds. In this course with Prof. Jörg Hettel from Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences, you will enter the world of quantum cryptography and learn what real chance, photons and entanglement can do to ciphers and codes - and only with a basic understanding of IT.

Courses for Schools: Python starting in 7th grade and Java starting in 10th grade.
25.4.2022 - 26.6.2022 | 2-3 hours per course week | Prerequisites: none | German
In order to better meet the needs of schools, the school courses are stretched out in time and adapted to the school vacation period. At the end of the course, the children and young people will be able to write their own small programs using the Java or Python programming language and will have understood the basic functionality of modern software.

On Site in Potsdam: LERNEN.Cloud-Forum - "Educate yourself digitally? Qualitative and sustainable!"
17.6.2022 | On-site event in Potsdam | free of charge
Under the motto "Educate yourself digitally? Qualitatively and sustainably!" we would like to discuss with you on June 17 in Potsdam how to design high-quality digital continuing education courses for teachers.
Online courses have become an integral part of our everyday education. However, the wide range of courses on offer is often too unstructured and not always in line with requirements. Therefore, the forum will shed light on the necessary knowledge and requirements for the implementation of online courses, but also on their optimal content design as well as didactic conception. In this context, our goal is to discuss with you the extent to which digital training needs to be rethought in the post-Covid era.
In addition to the stimulating presentations of our keynotes and exciting discussions, we will capture the insights gained in the form of two workshops and use them for the further development of LERNEN.cloud and digital training.
Exciting speakers and representatives from politics and science are looking forward to the exchange with you! You can find more information in the program. Register now here. Places are limited. Participation in the event is free of charge.
We look forward to your participation! Also, please share our courses and events with your colleagues, students, friends and acquaintances via email or social media.
Best regards
the openHPI team
