ORCAthon 2026

Lehrmaterialwerkstatt zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit

The ORCAthon 2026 is aimed at all teaching staff, projects and networks that work on sustainability topics, regardless of discipline. Over two half-days, ORCA.nrw provides a framework for jointly discussing and further developing teaching materials. Similar to a hackathon, participants will also work on real teaching scenarios and tools for teaching. An example is provided by last year’s ORCAthon 2025. What makes it special: On 15 September, participants will be supported by the ORCA.nrw Legal Information Office and the Competence Center for Digital Accessibility / DoBuS. The team from the ORCA.nrw office will be available on both days to answer technical questions regarding the LMS Moodle. For LMS ILIAS, there will be an opportunity to receive support from TU Dortmund. So if you need special support for your project, please indicate this requirement when registering for the event, because the exact programme of the event will be determined by the participants and their materials!

Wrap-up und Ausblick

Teaching Materials Workshop on Sustainability

The ORCAthon 2026 will take place on and as part of the International Summer Convention at the University of Applied Sciences and Art Dortmund. This year’s convention centers on the theme of sustainability.

The ORCAthon 2026 is aimed at all educators, Projects and Networks — regardless of their discipline—who work on sustainability-related topics. Over two half-days, ORCA.nrw provides a framework for participants to exchange ideas about teaching materials, refine them, and further develop them. Like a hackathon, the event will also involve working on real teaching scenarios and tools for instruction. You can have a look at last year´s ORCAthon 2025 as a reference.

On September 15, participants will receive support from the Legal Information Office of ORCA.nrw. The ORCA.nrw office will be available to assist throughout both days. Participants actively co-create the program by engaging with the materials provided.
