The Tutor Academy is a program designed to train student assistants to support instructors, including the preparation and implementation of in-person and online teaching.
Originally conceived as a sub-project to the Instructional Design Initiative, in the summer semester of 2020, the eScout Academy was opened to all students, instructors, secretaries, and administrative staff who wanted to help teachers with the short-term conversion of face-to-face teaching to online teaching. In total, more than 500 people have already participated in this online program, making an important contribution to the successful digital transformation of teaching at TUM.
In the SoSe 2024, we will focus on training student teaching assistants (tutors) in didactics and how to run a tutorial. The course will be fully online, with regular networking activities. The Tutor Academy is open to all students, regardless of their employment status. Students hired as tutors or Hiwis may enroll in this course to be trained as a Tutor. In addition, non-employed students may enroll as an opportunity for professional development.
