Innovation in teaching
New forms and concepts of teaching emerge through the high innovative power of many lecturers and the feedback from students. This development is supported by the teaching specialists at the departments and the group Innovation at UTL and promoted with suitable instruments and expertise. Embedded in a network of experts, we promote, network and accompany teaching innovation projects at ETH from the idea to successful implementation.
