Each DLL module is guided by a course book. A PDF version of the book will be made available on our free e-learning-platform. 

DLL courses are structured into tutored lessons and assignments. Learning is meant to fit around the work schedule of busy teachers.

Fixed and flexible learning units

• In weeks 9 and 10, a Practical Exploration Project (PEP) will be carried out in group work – in week 10, you will implement this in your teaching. Ideally, you should have access to teaching during this time. If this is not possible, please inform your DLL tutors at the start of the course.
• Participation in 2 out of 3 online live sessions is mandatory to pass the course. If you are unable to attend a live session, you can watch the recording and submit a summary.
• You can join the Online-Live sessions from your computer at home, you would just need a stable internet connection, a headset with a microphone and headphones as well as a camera.

Practical and fun assignments

The assignments you'll be given in DLL courses are designed to be practical and to let you experience the joy of teaching and teamwork. They include:

• Exchange in forums on the learning platform
• Exploration exercises
• Reflection exercises
• Tutored portfolio exercises
• Practical Exploration Project (PEP) in weeks 9 and 10.

DLL focuses on the skills and competencies needed for teaching and builds upon them. DLL provides numerous examples from real teaching practice in the form of interviews with teachers, examples of teaching materials or lesson plans as well as video recordings of lessons. Practical Exploration Projects encourage reflective experiential learning and allow for new perspectives of teaching.
