Abstract

In the past two years, the “New Normal” such as blended university, COVID-19 Campus, hybrid everything, remote proctoring, and online networking has increasingly become the norm for Higher Education Institutions, and they will need to adapt accordingly. The importance of reflective learning and teaching is given special significance in numerous empirical findings on professionalization. Therefore, concepts and instruments are needed to make development, qualification, and competencies accessible on the way to becoming a “reflective practitioner” [1]. The article presents the implementation and the use of E-Portfolio as a reflective tool in the existing structure based on a seminar developed and conducted at the University of Passau.
