In the master's programme "Multimedia Didactical Design" you will develop the necessary skills to design, implement and evaluate target group-oriented and attractive learning offers using classical and digital media. You will experience the potentials and challenges of digital education and reflect on the influence of organisational, economic and legal framework conditions.

The programme aims to train experts for learning in the digital working world who can design and interlink both physical and virtual learning spaces.

Elective modules

In order to complete the elective modules, you can take advantage of offers from the module catalogue of the Media Faculty's Master's programmes or develop your foreign language skills, which are particularly beneficial in internationally active organisations. By arrangement, it is also possible to take courses at the Virtual University of Bavaria, which offer additional flexibility in terms of time and geography.

Master thesis

Depending on the topic, supervisor and previous education, Master's theses can be of a descriptive, formative or evaluative character. Your Master's thesis can, for example, relate to the (re-)conception and practical testing of a learning offer, to the evaluation of learning technology or to the investigation of framework conditions for the use of digital media in specific learning contexts (e.g. strategy, learning culture).

Catch-up modules

From a content perspective, modules from the Bachelor's programmes of the Media Faculty are recommended (e.g. web development, video editing). In agreement with the respective lecturers, modules from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration can also be taken (e.g. human resources development, knowledge management). You can also take online courses at the Virtual University of Bavaria (e.g. Ethics of Digital Communication, Introduction to Human Resources Management, Digital Knowledge Management, etc.), which gives you additional flexibility.

Teaching and testing methods

Since teaching methods and formats are themselves the subject of learning in this programme, different didactic scenarios 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.

Study organisation

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.

Further Information

Career prospects

After completing the Master's programme, you will be able to work in the field of in-company initial and continuing vocational training, in e-learning agencies, in adult and continuing education, in media and publishing houses as well as in interface or multiplier functions in companies and organisations in an operational, advisory or management capacity.

Prof. Dr. Verena Gerner developed the website www.live-online-lehre.de on the occasion of the Corona situation, where interested teachers can inform themselves about the possibilities of synchronous online teaching. The website contains numerous tips for didactic design in the virtual classroom, descriptions of methods to be activated as well as technical tutorials on frequently used functions in "Zoom" and "Adobe Connect".
