About the Journal

With its online journal HINT. Heidelberg Inspirations for Innovative Teaching, the Center for Teaching and Learning at Heidelberg University offers a platform for discussions of innovative ideas that further improve teaching and learning. The journal invites instructors, teaching center staff, higher education specialists, students, and anyone else in higher education, from Heidelberg and beyond, to participate in this exchange of ideas. HINT provides authors from Germany and abroad an opportunity to reflect on their teaching, to publish results of scientific studies investigating teaching and learning, and to contribute to a constructive and academic debate within the context of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Submissions contribute both to the international discourse of innovate teaching in higher education and to the specific cultures of teaching within individual disciplines and scientific communities. The journal thus aims to display and support rich conversations around teaching and learning in order to participate in the sustained efforts to advance student learning and teaching excellence in higher education. The journal explicitly welcomes a broad range of essays, including best practice examples, argumentative papers, commentaries, and think pieces that reflect on pedagogical ideas.

HINT is published annually. Submissions are accepted in English and German.
