ActiveLearn - Healthy learning at KIT

Project description

As part of the ActiveLearn project, health-promoting learning environments are to be established at KIT, and both students and lecturers will be sensitized to the topic of “healthy learning.” The focus is on the field of Active Learning on Campus, but Active Learning during Home Studying and the interaction between lecturers and students within the teaching setting are also taken into account.

The program, centered around networking and health communication, addresses the topic of "Healthy Learning" through three core components: physical activity, relaxation, and ergonomics. These elements will be designed and delivered in a modular and flexible format to meet the diverse needs of participants:

1) Development and implementation of trainings and workshops (e.g., How to ergonomically set up your learning workstation), as well as the provision of short active (e.g., 5-minute neck fitness) and relaxation breaks (e.g., 5-minute progressive muscle relaxation). These activities will take place directly at the learning locations, in order to keep participation barriers as low as possible.

2) Development of communication materials on the topic of "Healthy Learning" (e.g., posters with neck stretching exercises or information on "How to learn in a healthy way"), which will be displayed on campus and at learning spaces at KIT to further raise awareness of the topic.
