The number of students is increasing—as is their diversity. This goes hand in hand with the greater heterogeneity of study and learning abilities and experiences, posing new challenges for teachers in the didactic, content-related, and organizational design of their courses and examinations.

In addition, imparting knowledge on how to deal successfully with social diversity in its different facets and in different social contexts is a key social competence in modern societies and, as such, is relevant course content for students.
