Lecture series "Didactics in the evening"
The "Didactics in the Evening" lecture series organised by the Department of subject-specific Education has for many years offered a broad audience interested in subject-specific education the opportunity to gain an insight into a wide variety of topics from current subject didactics research.

Interactive and immersive media in Holocaust remembrance: didactic perspectives using the LediZ project as an example
Since 2018, an interdisciplinary project group at LMU Munich has been developing and researching new forms of remembrance with digital media. The focus is on the LediZ project - learning with digital testimonies, which transforms dialogue-based interviews with Holocaust survivors into an interactive, AI-supported format. These "talking testimonies" enable learners to access the testimonies of Holocaust survivors by asking their own questions.
The lecture presents the creation, realisation and application of these testimonies - supplemented by new immersive formats, in particular virtual reality environments, which have been tested at schools and memorial sites. Accompanying qualitative studies show how learners perceive these media formats and what opportunities, but also challenges, they present for educational work.
The focus is on the didactic question of how a "media network of remembrance" can promote interdisciplinary learning between historical didactics, media education and ethical reflection. Depending on the interest of the audience, there will be the opportunity to explore a digital testimony for themselves.
