Bossfights during Lectures with the Gamified Learning App "OffCourse"

since Oct 2018

During courses, students can use the gamified app to playfully answer questions about the learning content in the form of quizzes and receive individual feedback. Lecturers, on the other hand, can use statistics to determine the current state of knowledge during lectures. Developled in Project Seminar on System Development, the app has since been further developed by two students. Further information [in German] can be found at gamify.uni-goettingen.de.

Innovative Vocational Education for Sustainable Development (Inno-BBNE)

May 2017 - Oct 2019

Studies show that consumers are reminding of the lack of decision-relevant information or the lacking processing of information regarding the sustainability of the products they are interested in (for example, knowing where fair products are available, what quality criteria mean). Consumers see providing this information as an obligation of the company. Therefore, the focus of this project is on the so-called 'Point of Sale'. The aim is to further educate multipliers and training staff through the joint conception, development and testing of an innovative technology-based learning and working tool. At the same time, didactic approaches are developed with the help of which the competence of the trainees to design sustainable occupational action situations in retail can be promoted and supported. Further information can be found here.
