  • Improving the teaching of the group members
  • Creating training materials for Decoding
  • Training interested parties in Decoding

  • Decoding Decoding, i.e. making the expertise appertaining to Decoding itself visible, e.g. by analyzing recorded Decoding interviews
  • Information sessions for interested parties (e.g. first and fourth German SoTL round trip, Hochschulform Digitalisierung)
  • Operating this wiki
