What is my role within CATALPA?

As a doctoral researcher of psychology, I investigated interactive learning environments as part of the junior research group Multimedia. After finishing my PhD, I became part of the NOVA:ea research project and now focus on digital assessments.

Why CATALPA?

CATALPA offers me the opportunity to conduct explorative, experimental research in the field of interactive multimedia learning. I appreciate the interdisciplinary focus and support for junior researchers which enables an open, developmental research environment. I strive to increase visibility of chances and opportunities regarding the application of interactive, personalized learning materials in universities.

    • Scientific researcher, Junior group Multimedia, Research Cluster CATALPA, FernUniversität Hagen (since July 2021)
    • MA Educational Science, FernUniversität Hagen (2021).

    • Multimedia Learning – how can it be designed in a comprehensive, applicable and interactive manner, to support learners?
    • Motivation and Attitudes – how do they influence learner’s behaviours and how do educational measures and learning materials intervene?
    • The connection of these aspects allows to understand personalized, accessible, practically usable and useful learning environments at university as a chance and thus makes it applicable.
