Teaching
For the academic year 2023-2024, we offer the Master-level course “Intelligent Learning Environments” (ILE) that will cover topics on intelligent tutoring systems, interactive and technology-enhanced learning and teaching environments and online learning platforms. We also offer Praxis projects and Research Seminars on topics related to Learning Informatics, Educational Technologies, and AIED. Additionally, we offer research projects for Bachelor and Master theses for the study programs of Computer Science (Angewandte Informatik) and KOMEDIA.
Our aim is to support students in acquiring skills for the 21st-century learner, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and data literacy. At the same time, we encourage students to learn from and with each other in a social arena following project-based learning approaches. Overall, we envision bridging the gap between theory and practice with respect to teaching and to engage learners in modern, technology-enhanced learning activities as a means for preparing modern citizens for their future endeavors.
