Experiences with a new Digitalized Concept for Teaching Control Theory as Minor Subject at a University of Applied Science

Abstract

This paper presents experiences with a digitalized concept for teaching control theory as minor subject with an integrated approach for lectures, exercises and practical sessions in the department of electrical engineering at the OTH Regensburg. The concept uses activating methods like blended learning and possibilities of digitalization of teaching implementing Just in Time Teaching and Peer Instruction. The basis for the new concept is the idea of constructive alignment. Furthermore this paper presents feedback from the students along with an accompanying scientific research over several semesters focusing on the development over past semesters.
