In cooperation with the state seminars for didactics and teacher training (secondary schools), the ZML carried out further training on the topic of "Scientific Work" on behalf of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport. The offer in the form of an internet-based contact study was aimed at teachers at secondary level I and dealt with the topics "Spaceship Earth", "Materials", "Information" and "Energy". One of the reasons for this was the merger of the subjects of biology, physics and chemistry to form the "Natural Science Work (NWA)" subject group. The participants in the training course expanded their scientific background and developed corresponding teaching concepts. In addition, the training offered the participants the opportunity to establish networks across all school types in order to exchange teaching experiences and materials.

Lecture recordings have not only been available at KIT since the coronavirus pandemic. The automation of recordings has been driven forward since 2018 and lecture halls have been technically equipped for this purpose. In the past two years, the demand for lecture recordings has increased many times over and required rapid expansion and the widest possible availability. It can also be assumed that lecture recordings will play a much greater role in the post-pandemic period than before. It is therefore important to further develop and consolidate the existing processes. This has been done in the "Lecture Recording" project.
