The symposium is a specialist conference organized by the Chair of Didactics and Visual Communication and will take place for the first time on 2 February 2018. This was prompted by a previous study on the use of media in teaching at the University of Wuppertal. In addition to basic content on the topic, didactic scenarios and innovative technologies are presented, but also important basics such as infrastructures or education and educational responsibility are addressed.

We look forward to your registration

Prof. Dr. Axel Buether
