Guide to optimise the use of the hybrid course offerings in the Master's degree programme in Innovation and Change Management

1. Utilise onboarding and information services
   Take part in the structured onboarding week in the first semester to get to know the degree programme, hybrid study format, organisation and people involved. You can also take advantage of coaching from the programme coordinator and support from students in higher semesters. These offers provide orientation, clarify questions and make it easier to start your degree programme.
2. Prerequisite for the full utilisation of the hybrid teaching offer Reliably prepare the technical infrastructure:
   • Stable internet connection
   • Headset with microphone
   • Working camera
   • Current browser (Chrome, Safari or Firefox recommended)
   • Quiet place to learn
   • Test the sound, image and access to the video conferencing platform before every event.
3. Active participation - regardless of the format
   You are responsible for deciding how you take part in the course. Hybrid participation in the courses is an equivalent learning option.
4. Comply with hybrid rules
   Respect, punctuality and reliability apply to everyone. Comply with agreed rules on speaking up, using the chat, taking breaks and dealing with technical problems. This way, remote collaboration works just as well as in the room.
5. Taking self-organisation seriously
   Plan your studies actively: enter dates, observe deadlines and structure your study times. Hybrid studying offers freedom - but also requires personal responsibility and good time management.
6. Use digital tools consciously
   Use the learning platform, cloud services, collaboration tools and digital whiteboards regularly. Download materials in good time, save your results and work together on documents - this is part of everyday study life.
7. Observe binding nature and audit relevance
   Attendance regulations, performance records and examination forms remain unchanged. Hybrid participation has no influence on examination requirements or assessment standards.
8. Utilising networking and support
   Get in touch with fellow students, lecturers and service centres - both online and on site. Asking questions, getting feedback and building networks are key components of your degree programme and important for your future career.
