Some good news: I won the 2025 Teaching Award at the University of Cologne's Faculty of Arts & Humanities for my 3D documentation and modelling courses! 🎓 I wrote a blog post reflecting on what this means to me – why good teaching needs time, why practical components are often neglected in academia, and why awards like this matter for making teaching visible.

The narratological study of fairy tales has a long tradition - and it continues to offer fascinating insights today. This semester we explored them computationally with students, focusing on how characters shape narrative structures. #DigitalHumanities #DHinTeaching #AcademicTeaching #DHMakes (1/4)

Last week I asked my students to conduct written group discussions on definitions of peace. I provided them with texts covering definitions of peace from antiqutiy to the 20th century. Each group member had to summarise one text. Thereafter they should compare these different definitions. One student concluded that peace developed from being a breathing space between fights to a complete gym programme. I like this picture very much.

I use a simple and joyful way to check if my students have read the course #syllabus: I hide the task to post pictures of a specific animal on the course plattform in the syllabus text. This term the course plattform is floading over with foxes.
Besides the didactical dimension of this task, the posts reveal students' creativity and compose a nice thread to turn to when motivation fades.
