Abstract

The connection of research and teaching, the internationalization of curricula, and the digitalization of teaching are central objectives of current university policy. The paper presents the course format of the Q-Kollegs at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, in which these three objectives are linked together and translated into concrete didactic action. Together with students from a partner university abroad, students form an international student research team. They work together with a blended mobility approach, both in-person during a short stay at the partner university, and digitally over the distance. Lecturers from both universities plan the project together in a researchbased learning format, and accompany the students in their research process. Based on interviews with lecturers and a written survey of students, the article presents challenges of this teaching format and shows didactic design possibilities: regarding the support of the student research process, the collaboration within the international team, as well as the associated use of digital media.
