Teachers now working in a digitized environment with the introduction of openDesk software
The Digital Workplace for Teachers (DAP), a vital part of the Digital Education Platform SCHULE@BW, has seen significant changes since summer 2025. The Digital Education Platform SCHULE@BW, using the openDesk system, led this transformation.
Previously, the Ministry of Education initiated the migration to the new software dPhoenix for the DAP in 2024. However, with the adoption of openDesk, the DAP now shares the same software components as dPhoenix, showcasing the advantages of a modular approach.
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, along with external institutions like the Institute for Educational Analysis (IBBW), the Center for School Quality (ZSL), and the Center for Digital Sovereignty (ZenDiS), support the DAP and SCHULE@BW.
One key benefit of the switch to openDesk is the continuity it offers. Teachers' email addresses remain the same, and all emails and files are preserved, ensuring a seamless transition for the approximately 60,000 teachers currently using the DAP.
Initially, the DAP will retain the same components such as mailbox, calendar, tasks, contacts, and data storage. As the platform grows with new features and tools, teachers can expect improved productivity and efficiency in their digital education environment.
For inquiries or questions, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport provides a contact form for citizens. For media inquiries, the Ministry has a dedicated Press Office.
As the DAP continues to develop, it aims to deliver a more streamlined and efficient digital workspace for teachers in Baden-Württemberg, further enriching the digital education landscape.
