Digitale Lehre im Fach Pathologie

Digital formats have become an indispensable part of academic teaching, including education and training in pathology. Their use offers the perspective of rendering conventional teaching formats more diversified and more flexible since students can adopt the timing and learning speed to their individual needs. However, digital formats should be designed to fulfill the intended didactic purpose within a teaching concept that addresses competences and specific aims. The current view is that E‑learning neither will nor should replace face-to-face teaching, but that both can fuse into blended-learning formats using the best of both worlds. It is important to view the implementation of E‑learning as a dynamic process that should be underpinned by didactic research and be constantly developed further through evaluation and feedback from both teachers and students.
