On Thursday (01.06.2023) many different departments of the Technical University Darmstadt celebrated the “Day of the Tutoring Work”. This nationwide event is devoted to appreciating and thanking tutors for their important work. Also, on the part of the team Key Competences of the HDA we could not miss the opportunity to thank the tutors of the TU Darmstadt.

Tutors are an important component of good teaching at universities. They support students in their learning process, offer tutorials and exercise groups whereby they are contributing significantly to the student’s study success. Without their engagement studying wouldn’t be the same for many students. They function as role models and support their fellow students on their academic path.

To thank the tutors for their commitment, the HDA staff set up a booth in the reading courtyard of the ULB, where the tutors were able to get some free chocolate and coffee for their lunchbreak and inform themselves on the newest offers of the central service facility.

In addition, a nationwide online event on the topic of “Practical use of artificial intelligence in tutoring – an enrichment of the work of tutors” (More) took place at the same time, where representatives from tutorial teaching as well as all interested parties could inform themselves and exchange information about the opportunities and challenges of AI in the field of tutorial teaching.

The Team Key Skills from Center for Educational Delelopment and Technology of the TU Darmstadt says “THANK YOU!”
