With Volume 5, Issue 2, Lessons Learned presents the first thematic special issue in the history of the journal. This issue is dedicated to the completion of the virTUos project at TU Dresden and brings together the insights, experiences, and reflections developed throughout the project within a shared publication framework.
Over the course of its duration, the virTUos project has exemplified a practice-oriented yet academically grounded engagement with digital and hybrid teaching and learning formats. The contributions developed within the project range from conceptual considerations and methodological approaches to concrete experiences in implementation and evaluation. The aim of this special issue is not only to document these results, but also to make them accessible to a broader scholarly discourse.
With this volume, Lessons Learned deliberately enters new territory. As the first special issue of the journal, Volume 5, Issue 2 marks an important step in its ongoing development. Thematic issues make it possible to examine related questions in greater depth and to bring together diverse perspectives within a clearly defined thematic framework. At the same time, the journal’s core principles—openness, reflection, and a strong connection to practice—remain unchanged.
We would like to thank all authors whose contributions make this special issue possible, as well as all members of the virTUos project for their commitment and their willingness to systematically reflect on and share their experiences. With this volume, Lessons Learned aims to make a lasting contribution to the discussion on innovative teaching and learning formats while also giving visibility to the conclusion of a distinctive and impactful project.
The substantive foreword to this special issue can be found in the first article by Henriette Greulich and Alexander Lasch, “From Testing to Prospectives – virTUos at TU Dresden.”
