An appeal for shortcuts in the further education of lecturers

This contribution provides an overview of the experiences gained in the further education of lecturers in the past few years at the Center of Professional Development (IFB) at Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) related to the use of shortcuts in both higher education didactics and general academic further education. After a brief definition of these ‘shortcuts’, including arguments for and against them, a plea for the use of shortcuts in the further education of lecturers is made, which is supported by both qualitative and quantitative evidence.
