Digital Learning - What Teachers Think in Practice - Thuringia Uses Minecraft Education to Teach Catholic Studies Online
Thuringia has launched a digital Catholic religious education programme, Minecraft Education Edition, to help home-schooled students access instruction. Called KathReliOnline, the initiative aims to fill gaps where in-person teaching is unavailable. Yet while the scheme offers new opportunities, educators stress it cannot fully replace traditional classrooms.
The programme connects students across Thuringia with qualified teachers through online lessons. One instructor, Julia Günther, meets her pupils in person just twice a year—mostly for exams. Most of her work involves reviewing assignments and giving individual feedback on self-study tasks.
Thuringia’s experiment shows both the benefits and limits of moving lessons online. While Minecraft Education Edition helps students access religious education, it requires careful management to ensure quality and fairness. The programme’s future will depend on balancing digital convenience with the need for in-person support.
