ABSTRACT: At the medical faculty at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich
many E-Learning resources are available to students, but they are rarely
implemented in a Blended-Learning scenario. To foster this, a Blended-Learning
course following the Inverted Classroom (IC) model as part of the faculty
development curriculum has been developed. An initial 10-day E-Learning phase
was based on the following six modules: E-Learning and Blended-Learning basics,
Learning Management Systems, Virtual Patients, educational videos, the IC model
and other E-Learning methods. In the following half-day face-to-face workshop
the course participants applied their knowledge to common teaching scenarios.
The course was well accepted by the participants and will be further developed
and continued as part of the faculty development curriculum.
