Data Literacy und FDM im Studium: Kurserfahrung und offene Materialien für die Lehre
Innerhalb der Landesinitiative werden Data-Literacy-Kurse mit Fokus auf FDM entwickelt, durchgeführt und als Open Educational Resources (OER) für Lehrende aufbereitet. Die Informationsveranstaltung gibt einen Überblick über das Lehrangebot, die OER-Erstellung sowie Erfahrungen mit der curricularen Verankerung von Data Literacy in Bachelor-, Master- und Promotionsstudiengängen. Zudem wird diskutiert, wie die Angebote sichtbarer gemacht und ihr Mehrwert für Studium und Berufseinstieg besser vermittelt werden kann. Abschließend werden das geplante Data-Literacy-Zertifikat und seine Einbettung in ein übergeordnetes Qualifizierungskonzept vorgestellt.
