To apply for this degree programme, you must have completed at least six theoretical semesters of higher education studies (all subject areas) with an overall grade of 2.5 or better and have generally earned 210 ECTS credits, but at least 180 ECTS credits. If you bring less than 210 ECTS credits with you at the start of your studies, you will need to plan additional time to make up for any missing ECTS credits. In addition, you prove your above-average motivation to study with a letter of motivation.
To participate in the online course units, you must also have your own, fully-fledged terminal (desktop PC or notebook) with a powerful Internet connection, webcam plus headset. Your personal learning location should allow you to take part in the seminars in the virtual classroom without being disturbed.
Apply even if you do not yet have all the documents together, e.g. if you are missing the grade of the Bachelor's thesis and thus still lack the actual overall grade. If you submit your current grade point average (without BA grade) instead, it is usually possible to estimate whether you will (probably) achieve the required grade point average. In this way, you may be able to gain admission sooner and thus have more planning security.
If you have less than 210 ECTS at the start of your studies, it is necessary to make up the missing ECTS points in the first year of study. These can be obtained by completing additional study modules or by providing evidence of relevant professional practice. We will be happy to recommend suitable modules from our degree programmes and from the courses offered by the Virtual University of Bavaria. We will also advise you on the suitability of already acquired and/or planned practical activities with regard to possible recognition.
The Master's programme "Digital Learning" comprises 90 ECTS credits and a standard period of study of three semesters.
Within the framework of the compulsory modules, you will be enabled to describe and control learning processes of adults as well as to evaluate them with the help of scientific methods. You will sharpen your eye for the aesthetic design of media, gain knowledge of technical standards and apply project management methods to e-learning productions.
You will receive a sound introduction to the design and implementation of media-supported learning scenarios and develop the competence to produce multimedia and interactive learning modules with the help of authoring tools. You will acquire the role understanding and tools to lead interactive seminars and workshops - both in presence and online. In a practical project, you will apply the knowledge you have acquired to a real, complex task, enabling you to gain usable practical experience and make professional contacts. In addition, you will train your ability to collaborate virtually and across disciplines.
Through the broad-based curriculum, you will acquire conceptualization and assessment skills as well as implementation skills for learning settings that are significant in corporate practice. This opens up a wide range of professional activities for you in adult/continuing education, in the media industry, and in related fields.
For completing the elective module, you can choose from a selection of modules from our master's degree programs as well as from the courses offered by the Virtual University of Bavaria, which usefully complement the topic of digital teaching and learning. E.g. virtual reality, artificial intelligence, multimedia storytelling, drone driving license, communication/rhetoric, business start-up, human resources/organization.
There are also regular additional offerings in which you can participate (across semesters), such as guest lectures with experts from companies and excursions to the Learntec trade fair in Karlsruhe.
The master's thesis offers you room for individual in-depth study and can be written in cooperation with a company. Depending on the topic, supervisor and previous education, master's theses can have a descriptive, formative or evaluative character. For example, your master's thesis may involve the (re-)conception and practical implementation of a digital learning offer, the literature/data-based description and analysis of current learning trends, or the evaluation of framework conditions or effects in the use of digital forms of learning.
Since teaching methods and formats are themselves the subject of learning in this programme, different learning designs are used in the modules. These include traditional face-to-face seminars with classical and/or digital media, blended learning scenarios, asynchronous online courses and courses in the virtual classroom. In this way, you experience the effect of different combinations of methods and media and receive role models for your future actions. Depending on the competence objective, project work, oral examinations/presentations or written examinations are used as examination forms.
The respective lecturers of the modules are responsible for the temporal and spatial arrangement of the course offerings. In principle, courses can be taken on all weekdays during the semester. Experience has shown that the virtual parts of the programme result in a comparatively higher degree of spatial and, in part, temporal flexibility in the weekly timetable, which enables students to work alongside their Master's programme (to a manageable extent). However, this Master's programme is not a part-time programme tailored to the needs of employed persons. The self-study and project phases are demanding and time-consuming, so the focus should be on studying rather than working.
After completing the master's degree program, you will be able to work in the field of in-company training and continuing education, in personnel development, in e-learning agencies, in adult education, in media and publishing houses, and in interface or multiplier functions in companies and organizations in an operational, advisory, or managerial capacity.
Possible job profiles include: Digital Learning Expert, Corporate Learning Manager, Learning Consultant, E-Learning Author, Blended Learning Designer, Adult Education Officer, Education Project Manager, Trainer - Presence/Online.
