•  Which teaching theories and principles lend themselves to online teaching?

•  How can distance learning and teaching be enabled in productive manner both for the teacher and learner?

•  Specific foci may also be set by the student him/herself. (Example: Which benefits and challenges arise through teaching in the context of social engagement / social work with underrepresented and/or marginalized groups?
