Award for the cooperation project of the Mozarteum University and the University of Vechta
In September, the Ars Docendi - State Award for Excellence in Teaching at Austria's Public Universities took place. Out of a total of 191 submissions, Heike Henning from the University Mozarteum, Department of Music Education Innsbruck , and Kai Koch from the University of Vechta, Faculty 3 - Music, were awarded the recognition prize (shortlist nomination) for the submitted cooperation project  "Inter-University Online Seminar Creative Methods in Music Education" in the category: Methods of Distance Learning and their Sustainable Use  ! In a collaborative effort, a cross-university digital seminar was designed that synergistically utilized resources, enabled international encounters between students virtually, and combined digital musical practice with blended learning formats. The goal was a motivating, flexible and highly didactically versatile "inverted classroom" seminar. Impressive results were achieved, whose development process is transferable to future music pedagogical settings and which brought a glimmer of light to musical practice in the pandemic situation.
