What is my role within CATALPA?

As a computer scientist and lead in the APLE II project, our team aims at developing largely domain-independent adaptive personalized learning environments for higher education. This is achieved by adaptive support of domain-independent competencies such as self-regulation and cross-disciplinary learning activities such as reading and assessments. I am also an alternate member of the CATALPA executive board.

Why CATALPA?

CATALPA benefits from the exchange across project and subject boundaries. Together with colleagues and partners, we can thus work on research questions from several content-related and methodological perspectives. By collaborating with university teachers in Hagen, we are able to analyze large amounts of data and investigate interventions with large cohorts in field studies.

    • PostDoc at CATALPA since 2023
    • Spokesman of the Working Group Learning Analytics within the SIG Educational Technology of the German Informatics Society (Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.) since 2021
    • PostDoc at the Chair of Cooperative Systems at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science at FernUniversität in Hagen (2017-2023)
    • Received Phd. from Technische Universität Dresden (2018)
    • Spokesperson of the Saxon Teaching Community on Video-based Teaching and Learning (2014-2017)
    • Scientist at the Media Centre at the Technische Universität Dresden (2012-2014)
    • Scientist at the Chair of Production Economy and Information Technology at the Technische Universität Dresden (2009-2017)
    • Study of Multimedia Computing at Ulm University, Degree as Diplom-Informatiker (2009)

    • Adaptive Learning Environments: Design, development, and evaluation of adaptive personalized learning environments with a focus on supporting learners in self-regulated learning, reading, and assessment.
    • Learning Analytics: Analysis and visualization of learning behavior with regard to individuals (e.g. reading or assessments), groups (e.g. collaborative writing) and organizations (e.g. course selection and duration of study) considering learners’ diversity.
