Resolution of the Academic Board of Hannover Medical School from Jan 16, 2019
Preamble:
As a place of scientific education, it is the task of universities to enable students to meet the demands of scientific and technological progress in society and the world of work with professional expertise. One challenge in the near future is to adequately deal with the various aspects of digitalization. The digital transformation of the healthcare system has a direct impact on prevention, diagnosis and therapy and promotes new research approaches based on digital data. Digital research ranges from the generation of digital data, for example through the use of sensor-based, mobile devices, to the development and implementation of complex analysis processes.
In order to ensure excellence in student education in the future, a systematic integration of digital skills in all study programmes and across all disciplines is required. Digitalization aspects will be incorporated into the curricula in terms of both content and methodology to ensure a forward-looking and practical education. Corresponding teaching concepts are being developed and established.
Objective:
In accordance with the MHH's mission statement for teaching, students are given the opportunity to acquire qualifications and skills that allow them to actively and responsibly participate in the processes of shaping a modern knowledge society. With a multidimensional digitalization strategy for teaching, MHH creates the best possible conditions for a successful career start and further development in patient care as well as in biomedical and health science research.
The digitalization strategy for teaching at MHH addresses the following fields of action:
1. creating an up-to-date infrastructure for the use of digital offerings
The infrastructure is being expanded in line with the requirements of a digital transformation of teaching to ensure the future-oriented further development of teaching.
2. Sustainable further development of curricula for the acquisition of digital skills
In view of the dynamics of digital change, new content-related and didactic points of reference for the acquisition of digital skills will be implemented in the existing curricula. Forward-looking teaching and learning concepts, taking into account the opportunities and risks of digital processes, promote a confident and reflective approach to continuously evolving and increasingly complex technical innovations in the healthcare system.
3. Strengthening, establishing and further developing digital teaching formats
Building on the digital teaching offerings successfully established at MHH, these will be expanded in the direction of mobile use. A model will be developed for the crediting of digital teaching to the teaching load that adequately reflects the development of digital teaching formats and the supervision of online-based learning phases and recognizes the teaching commitment of lecturers in the process of digitizing teaching.
4. Further education and training for teachers on digital skills in teaching
The establishment of further education opportunities for teachers to acquire the necessary digital teaching skills is a cornerstone of the digitalization strategy for teaching. Support services are created for teachers to promote the digitalization of teaching.
5. Expansion of digital teaching and learning opportunities for MHH employees
As the only independent medical university, the MHH offers the structural prerequisites for high-quality
healthcare education at all levels of competence thanks to the close integration of Clinical Department, teaching and research. The development and establishment of digital teaching and learning opportunities as well as the opportunities to acquire digital skills therefore apply to all areas of education, training and further education at MHH.
6. Promotion of interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary networking
The digitalization of the healthcare system not only strengthens interdisciplinary and cross-location patient care, but also leads to greater integration of different scientific disciplines in research. In addition to cross-university exchange in Clinical Department and research, inter-university networking in the field of teaching is being expanded through the expansion of cooperation and the exchange of teaching and learning materials.
Senate resolution from 15.01.2020
Preamble:
As a university, we primarily fulfill tasks in research and teaching as well as in preparing students for their professional careers.
In a time of change and ever faster technological progress, digitalization is becoming increasingly important and offers the MHH the opportunity to redefine and professionalize administrative processes
. This offers students a contemporary course of study and good preparation for the future digital world of work and takes account of the practical training in accordance with
the MHH's mission statement. The establishment of future-proof tools as a building block of the MHH digital strategy plays a decisive role in this.
Objective:
Digital Management is intended to make it easier for students, teaching staff and study administrators to organize their studies by simplifying processes and making information more easily available in order to meet the increasingly complex requirements of studying. This also enables students to share responsibility for their own studies in accordance with the
mission statement for teaching. This also includes the possibility of flexible and location-independent study organization.
The following fields of action result from this objective.
1. services for students
The most important field of action here is the provision of services for students via a central portal function (ideally via single sign-on and off) and for various
end devices. These services include registering for and deregistering from certain courses and examinations, receiving certificates and proof, submitting applications to
and providing information on study progress, performance status, timetables, teaching materials and fees, as well as using and changing
personal data. These standard processes can be simplified and accelerated through the automation and provision of a central software interface and at the same time advance the data integration of the digital strategy.
2. internationalization
The internationalization of the university landscape undoubtedly contributes to the enrichment of teaching and research and is therefore also anchored in the mission statement for teaching. EU and DAAD exchange programmes promote internationalization at universities. The resulting legal framework conditions, such as the "ERASMUS without paper" initiative, require the digitalization of exchange-related processes based on contractual agreements so that exchange students can focus on the core objectives of their stay abroad.
3. optimization of administrative processes
It is important to make existing electronic interfaces between the various existing software solutions more usable, but also to create new interfaces and to simplify data access by centralizing student data, e.g. by using an electronic student file, thus saving students unnecessary trips
and the double submission of evidence. In addition, the optimization of administrative processes is essential in order to be able to guarantee reliable administration and support for students as well as organizational support for lecturers with regard to
digitization strategy for student administration the continuously increasing number of students at the MHH. Here, too, there is a concrete implementation of the networking of partners and stakeholders envisaged as part of the digital strategy.
4. evaluation
The digitalization of student administration facilitates the systematic evaluation of studies and teaching. These surveys, which go beyond the legally required evaluations
, contribute to quality assurance in studies and teaching and increase students' chances of successfully completing their studies.
5. legal framework
The legal framework for student administration has become increasingly complex in recent years. Regulations within the framework of the EU GDPR, the
Online Access Act (mandatory implementation by 31.12.2022) and the Higher Education Statistics Act, which are intended to protect students' legal rights and at the same time make it easier for them to study, have created additional workload. These legislative objectives can be increasingly taken into account through automation
.
6. infrastructure
Only a sustainable, state-of-the-art infrastructure can enable effective interaction between students, staff and lecturers for the purpose of better study organization. In addition to setting up the infrastructure, Nursing is also of central importance.
7. outlook
The quality of research, teaching and patient care is also reflected in the administration. In addition to the students, the various areas entrusted with student administration benefit from professional digital administration: the Student Office, the Office of Academic Affairs, the program coordinators, the lecturers, the International Office, the alumni networks and the university management. The sustainable further development of study organization and student and examination administration is an ongoing process that the university management actively supports in the sense of "good administration practice". The objectives of the mission statement for teaching and the digitalization strategy for teaching
are thus also being continued in student administration
