After successful completion of the course, students are able to...
Module „Diversity Basics“: In this course you will gain basic knowledge about the most important categories of diversity in our society and about our social behavior. Through targeted self-reflection and by questioning your values and privileges you can take on more responsibility concerning your own approach to diversity. You will understand that it's worth letting go of old standards. And you will know how to improve your own personal diversity competence.
Module "Sexual Harassment at University and at Work": This course will allow you to become well-informed and competent on dealing with sexual harassment at university and at work and learn about the essential laws and regulations. Using practical cases, you’ll see which forms of sexual harassment exist and which factors you have to pay particular attention to in the university context.
Module "Unconscious Bias": In this e-learning, you’ll find out how unconscious biases are created, even in your brain. You'll become aware of your own distortions and gain an insight into the spectrum and depth that unconscious biases can have on success. Develop strategies to systematically reduce mistakes in your decision-making processes in the future.
With the e-learning courses developed especially for TU Wien on the topics of "Sexual Harassment at Work and Study", "Unconscious Bias" and "Diversity Basics", an intensive and critical exploration of this topic is encouraged. The three courses are about taking an honest look behind these terms, clarifying legal issues, and sharpening your sense of what discrimination means. You get a gift with these courses: the opportunity for self-reflection. You will certainly not find any moralizing lectures in the process.
Participation is worthwhile!
