The project addresses questions about the design and effects of digitization-related teacher education and training, and at the same time addresses the competencies of teachers developed in this context for planning and designing digital and hybrid lessons. With the 16 participating professorships from seven federal states, the largest research consortium on this topic in Germany is being created, embedded in the 'Competence Center for Digital and Digitally Supported Teaching in Schools and Further Education in Languages, Social Sciences and Economics' of the 'Learning:Digital Competence Network'. The total of 14 sub-projects design cross-phase, digital and hybrid teacher education programs in accordance with the DPACK model over several design cycles. These individual activities are examined at the consortium level in the 'WÖRLD House' for successful mechanisms of (knowledge) transfer between partners within and outside the consortium.

Description: Students develop complex learning contexts and situations in terms of the value creation processes of a model company. In doing so, they use an enterprise resource planning system that provides software-based support for planning, controlling and optimizing the use of corporate resources. In this context, professional, technical and pedagogical-didactic competencies are developed among students in a digitally supported learning environment to be modeled, which is based on the potentials of virtual classrooms.
