The new Hybrid Learning Lab was officially inaugurated by BTH Vice-Chancellor Vanja Lindberg. During the ceremony, participants were introduced to the Teleporter system, an advanced audiovisual classroom solution designed to connect physical and digital learning environments in a seamless way. To demonstrate how the system works in practice, colleagues from the University of Katowice and the University of Weimar online joined the event online.
The Teleporter system makes it possible for teachers and students in different locations to meet, interact and work together as if they were in the same room. By combining high-quality cameras, microphones, speakers, large screens and software for real-time collaboration, the system supports two-way communication, content sharing and interactive teaching. This means that participants joining remotely and those attending on site can take part on equal terms in lectures, discussions and group work. The inauguration of the Hybrid Learning Lab reflects BAUHAUS4EU’s broader ambition to build a shared educational ecosystem that promotes sustainability, inclusion, creativity and quality in higher education, in line with the New European Bauhaus and the European Education Area. Across the Alliance, BAUHAUS4EU is working to foster interdisciplinary and practice-oriented ways of teaching and learning. The Hybrid Learning Lab at BTH contributes to this vision by providing modern infrastructure that supports collaboration across national borders and creates opportunities to develop and test new pedagogical methods in a living laboratory setting.
With this new learning environment, BTH is helping to make European collaboration in education more accessible, interactive and future-oriented. The inauguration of the Hybrid Learning Lab is therefore not only a local milestone, but also a meaningful contribution to the Alliance’s joint work on innovative education.
