However, in order to further develop universities in a sustainable and learner-centered way, we need student perspectives and expertise. This is precisely where the student initiative “DigitalChangeMaker” comes in: The Hochschulforum Digitalisierung invites students to get involved at local, regional and national level in order to actively shape the digital transformation at universities. They represent student interests as speakers and authors, contribute to discourse, support and advise universities, and develop change projects.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]

By means of formats such as blog posts<\/strong><\/a> and Talks<\/strong><\/a> at conferences, the project aims to raise awareness of the extent of the problem and to sensitize university staff. The team is currently working on a handout on recommendations for action<\/strong> for university lecturers on the prevention of digital violence.

Why?<\/h3>\n <\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Too often, the discourse on digital transformation processes at universities is still about<\/strong> students instead of with them<\/strong>. Students can and should be strong partners in shaping sustainable universities. With this conviction, we at the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung founded the DigitalChangeMaker initiative in 2018 and, together with committed students, are expanding it into a nationwide DigitalChangeMaker network.<\/p>\n

The goal of the DigitalChangeMaker initiative<\/strong> is to systematically strengthen<\/strong> student participation in favor of a learner-centric design of the digital transformation at universities. The initiative provides a cross-university collaboration framework to bring together student innovators, promote students in their role as innovation and design partners at eye level, and actively shape the national and international discourse through student perspectives.<\/p>\n

The members of the DigitalChangeMaker initiative see themselves as a nationwide student think tank<\/strong>, which<\/p>\n
