Comparative Public Administration and Digital Government - Einzelansicht

This seminar will take place in digital form. We rely on the learning platform Moodle as the central contact point, where we'll provide information, materials, tasks etc. The infrastructure for questions and submissions of all kinds is also provided on Moodle. We always make sure that asynchronous content (i.e. content that can be accessed independently of time) is preferred to synchronous formats (such as video conferences) so that students can flexibly organize their everyday life.

For further information please refer to the corresponding Moodle course. The access information for this course will be sent to all students enrolled on PULS for the course by email during the first week of the semester (20th of April). If you are interested in this course, please register here on PULS! You'll be able to deregister again, if you don't want to participate in the end.

Please also note that the first week (starting April 20th) will be used exclusively for self-study (information on Moodle about the structure, registration for presentation dates etc.). The first digital classroom session via a Zoom video conference is at April 29th.
