Die COVID-19 Pandemie zwang 2020 die Hochschulen auf der ganzen Welt, ihre alltäglichen Lehr- und Lernpraktiken zu ändern und auf ferngesteuerte Online-Lernmethoden umzustellen. Was jedoch bisher weitgehend offen bleibt, ist eine systematische Überprüfung und Bewertung der jüngsten Erfahrungen, um Erkenntnisse für künftige Veränderungen in der Hochschulbildung zu gewinnen. Um diese offenen Fragen anzugehen, lädt das ZFHE Forscher/innen und Praktiker/innen aus dem Bereich der Bildungs-/Fakultätsentwicklung und der Hochschulforschung über nationale Grenzen hinweg ein, einen Beitrag zu dieser Sonderausgabe zu leisten.

Some of the perspectives relevant to these issues may be (not an exhaustive list):

• How can past, current and future teaching and learning practices be systematically be evaluated, for instance, using the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and similar approaches?
• How can curriculum and study program-related development activities be institutionalized?
• What are institutional strategies and leadership approaches to foster a culture of experimentation?
• What do teaching and learning cultures in higher education look like and how did they change in the light of the recent changes in teaching and learning?
• What educational and faculty-development practices including the Scholarship of Educational Development and similar approaches are supportive of an innovation-oriented culture?
• Which approaches to change and innovation are relevant for higher-education teaching and learning?

ZFHE would like to invite contributions that use these perspectives to explore and further develop the culture of experimentation in higher-education teaching and learning. They are in particular looking forward to contributions connecting different perspectives.
