Subproject Learning Analytics

In the Subproject "Learning Analytics", the diverse data related to the learning process is subjected to systematic analysis and evaluation, considering data protection and ethical aspects. The aim is to assess the learner’s level of competence, to evaluate the individual impact of didactic methods and to give recommendations and prognoses for the design of learning paths..

People involved:

• Prof. Dr. Munir Georges (Language and Text Comprehension)
• Prof. Dr. Sören Gröttrup (Machine Learning and Statistics)
• Prof. Dr. Stefanie Schmidtner (Sustainable Urban Development and Artificial Intelligence)
• Kai Hartung (Data Analyst)
• Panos Pagonis (Data Management)
• Di Wu (Data Analyst)

Subproject Platform- and Tool - Development

In the Subproject "Platform and Tool Development", the technical foundation for the collection, description and provision of the data streams previously obtained in the Subproject 1.1. will be created. According to the generation of individual learning paths in the LMS Moodle, the Subproject develops user-friendly and partially customized tools, such as a dashboard for students and teachers, an editor for the simple creation of learning nuggets, a Learning Companion plug-in to improve networking and exchange opportunities between students, and a chatbot (Thim) as a learning assistant.

Subproject Individual Learning Paths for Static Groups (Stage I)

In the Subproject "Individual Learning Paths for Static Groups (Stage I)" the individualization of learning paths in the subjects Statistics, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering and Programming, for partially automated defined groups or learning styles, is carried out. The learning paths are designed using various placement tests, as well as pattern recognition. They are supported by learning nuggets tailored to learning styles, as well as dialog offers of the digital learning assistant "Thim".

Subproject Individual Learning Paths for Static Groups (Stage II)

In the Subproject "Individual Learning Paths for Static Groups (Stage II)", built on the results of Stage I, the fixed learning styles are successively dissolved and transferred into individualized AI-supported learning paths. In addition, the learning assistant "Thim" will be further developed, and the learning nuggets will be made more flexible.

Subproject Project organization

In the Subproject "Project Organization", the structures for a successful project implementation are established. Technical and didactic demands on the project are taken into account and quality is ensured in the long term by means of an accompanying evaluation.   

People involved:

• Peter Huck (Project Coordination)
• Susanne Huber (Project Management)

Subproject Transfer

In the Subproject "Transfer", innovative exchange and participation formats are realized aiming an internal and external knowledge transfer on "AI and university teaching", e.g. the event of the "Digital Teaching Day" as well as the "Hackathon". Furthermore, data protection and ethical issues are clarified there.

People involved:

• Prof. Dr. Christian Stummeyer (Business Informatics und Digital Commerce)
• Prof. Dr. Matthias Uhl (Social Implications and Ethical Aspects of AI)
• Barbara Rehr (Data Protection)
