SeLL is an institution for the promotion of university didactics. It offers further qualification, advice, information and exchange for lecturers of all faculties planning and designing courses, modules and study programs at the HHU in a learning-oriented way.
University Lecturer
Lecturers are primarily involved in teaching. They get involved in the conceptual development of classes and exams, and realise them in accordance with the latest research and didactic standards. They advise students on study organisation and study-related/career-oriented issues, and supervise dissertation/thesis projects. They should also network with other teaching staff within the University and ideally take an interest in dialogue and teaching projects with stakeholders from business, politics, culture
and society.
Lecturers should contribute to the ongoing development of a teaching and learning culture, and promote didactic innovations. They should get involved in strategic developments in teaching such as the design of new study programmes or digitalisation in teaching and play a role in academic self-governance.
In addition to their focus on teaching, lecturers can also take on research tasks and e.g. conduct research, publish work, acquire third-party funding and organise/attend conferences. This should usually account for 20% of their working time (insofar as they teach for less than 80% of their working time).
