  • More than 75% of the university teachers are able to combine learning content, didactics and digital media appropriately.
  • Home-teaching leads to an upgrading of university teaching and an increased need for exchange of experience among teachers

Students:

  • Massive reduction of contact to other positions at the university outside of teaching and face-to-face contacts between students
  • Only 1/5 of the students know very many fellow students with whom they can exchange information on subject-specific issues.

  • Social (and related technical) inequalities increased
