Abstract

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, education was digitized massively and in a very short time. A vast variety of didactic concepts, methods and tools came into use, quite often as an ad-hoc solution that coped with a specific need. However, the extreme circumstances of the pandemic left little to no room to reflect in depth on how these different elements integrate into a big picture. As a consequence, all stakeholders involved in the educational process need to gain orientation within these new settings and possibilities, as a prerequisite for taking suitable decisions within their respective scope. To support this need for orientation, we introduce an architectural model that structures didactic concepts, methods and tools into a big picture, which is formulated using the notation of class diagram as known from software and requirements engineering.
