Upon completion of the module, students will be able to:
• describe learning approaches and complex teaching and learning arrangements in work-related contexts in enterprises.
• analyse, develop and evaluate complex teaching and learning arrangements in work-related contexts.
• transfer their knowledge of complex teaching and learning arrangements to different teaching and learning scenarios.

Within this module, subject specific pedagogical (didactical) questions are analysed with particular reference to enterprises as places of learning. The module covers two seminars.

Depending on topicality and emphasis determined by the lecturer, specific topics of the seminars vary. The seminars include usually topics such as: informal learning; workplace learning; concepts and methods of continuing and further education in enterprises; further education based on e-learning; workplace-based schooling; learning and working; working and learning tasks; needs assessment in further education; specific learning methods such as project learning or junior enterprises.

Recommended literature differs depending on the specific focus of the seminar.

Students have to take part in the seminars actively to fulfil the requirements of module wir181. This includes usually the regular participation in the sessions, the preparation and reworking of the content of each session (e.g. reading suggested literature, working on learning tasks), and giving presentations in different forms depending on the type of course.
The criteria of an active participation are negotiated and defined at the beginning of the course.
