Providing Personalized Support for Digital Teaching

Digitization can make everyday teaching noticeably easier—if you have the right tools at your disposal. The Center for Teaching at Mainz University of Applied Sciences is your one-stop resource for digital teaching and learning formats. We train faculty and staff in the use of tools such as OpenOLAT, Panopto, Particify, and LinkedIn Learning.

Whether you need quick assistance, personalized advice, or comprehensive coaching—we offer tailored support. Our services are complemented by easy-to-follow guides that also promote collaboration. We also provide targeted training for students on using OpenOLAT and support them in utilizing digital tools.

Note: For questions about Microsoft tools, Seafile, Zoom, or hardware, please contact the ZIK Helpdesk.
