Teaching Brunch
The Teaching Brunch took place on 26 November. This time, we discussed how to encourage reflection among students. Detailed information can be found HERE.
The format provides an opportunity to address any topics related to teaching and discuss them with other teachers. This allows participants to address challenges in their own teaching and find new approaches together. At the same time, cold snacks are available to satisfy your appetite.
The next Teaching Brunch will take place on 6 February 2026, 11:30 a.m. on the topic of accessibility in teaching and learning materials. Registrations are possible at MUonline/Events. A corresponding mailing will follow.

New programme from the LLC: MonTandem
LLC: autonomous, informal language learning
LLC has launched MonTandem, a new programme for autonomous, informal language learning. A tandem involves two people supporting each other in learning languages with their different (native) languages, e.g. one tandem partner has German as their native language and wants to improve their Spanish, while the second tandem partner wants to learn German and can support them with Spanish as their native language. The initial announcement was very successful, and the learning pairs are currently being matched.
Moodle course ‘Accessibility in teaching materials’
Self-enrolment possible!
Accessible teaching materials ensure that all students can participate equally in their studies, regardless of their individual circumstances. This includes clear structures, easily legible fonts, high-contrast displays and the provision of alternative formats such as screen reader-compatible PDFs. Audiovisual content should include subtitles or transcripts. The use of simple and understandable language can also facilitate access. In this way, inclusion is actively promoted in everyday university life. The Moodle course Accessibility in Teaching Materials offers important assistance in designing your own teaching materials to be accessible.
