Teaching Book and Paper Conservation at the TH Köln – University of Applied Sciences, Cologne

Abstract

Abstract The interpretation and reflection of how teaching and learning can be performed according to rather modern approaches is described. The centre of education at the Technical University is strong and supports newly appointed teachers. It is all about competences which need to be promoted and encouraged. The writing and formulating learning outcomes are the basis of different kinds of knowledge and called taxonomy levels. A learning outcome for the Bachelor module leather, its history, tannage and conservation is presented. Learning activation is enabled by changing lecture styles with the help of videos, original material and daily life memory links. The voting system PINGO can be used as activation form as well as pre-assessment format. The range of assessment styles ranges from oral and written presentation to a novel form of capturing video sequences. The production of minute-videos enable a different view to a process, helps to understand the topic of the lecture und activates the students enormously.
