Common learning of everyone at eye level, as aimed at in DiDaT, requires a high degree

of social competence of all participants. In the health vulnerability area -

as is so often the case in the field of health - the effective participation of vulnerable groups,

or at least the consideration of their interests, is the greatest challenge.

Prof. Dr. Heike Köckler (HSG Bochum)
In order for the digital transformation to succeed, in addition to technical know-how, ethical considerations

are also required. Ethics is explicitly not to be confused with questioning. It is about

thinking systematically about the possible effects and implications of digitization and asking

how digital technologies and systems can be designed and used in a useful and fair way.

DiDaT makes an important contribution to this discussion.

Dr. Minou Friele (UK Köln)
For me, DiDaT is a substantive,

methodological and interpersonal teaching.
