Project bwDigiRecht

Establishing a nationwide legal information center for digital teaching

The project was developed under leadership of Heidelberg University as part of the Hochschulnetzwerks Digitalisierung der Lehre Baden-Württemberg (HND-BW, Baden-Württemberg University Network for Digitization of Teaching). It ties in with the joint project of the Baden-Württemberg universities “Partnership for innovative e-examinations (PePP),” and in particular with the findings from the cross-sectional cluster Law & Acceptance - Clarification of legal issues & sustainable competence building (QRA2). The aim of bwDigiRecht is to establish a legal information center for digital teaching. This should support universities and colleges in Baden-Württemberg in finding legally compliant solutions for overcoming new challenges in digital teaching.

Project management is the responsibility of the University Computing Centre of Heidelberg University, while project coordination will be undertaken by its partner, KIT.
