What is my role within CATALPA?

As an educational researcher, I am involved in two projects:

  • IMPACT, the focus of my work is on change management and the implementation of trusted learning analytics in higher education.
  • LAMASS@DiLea deals with student success and dropout in digital study formats and the relevance of self-regulated learning and digital literacy. The Project focuses fundamental research in digital educational settings.
  • As a member of the CATALPA Executive Board from 01/2023 until 02/2024 my task was to represent junior researchers in CATALPA at the FernUniversität in Hagen. (Previously as alternate since 2022)

Why CATALPA?

CATALPA and its research environment at the FernUniversität in Hagen offer me ideal conditions to pursue my scientific interests. My goal is to contribute to improve higher education and learning for students in heterogeneous life situations and to apply new technologies in an educationally and ethically reflective way.

    • Digitization in higher education, self-regulated learning and the use of innovative technologies in distance learning and their framework conditions.

    • In the IMPACT project, I am supporting the implementation of innovative technical solutions regarding learning analytics and AI at the FernUniversität in Hagen and leading a work package on change management and roll-out in the joint project. The ethical and legal conditions and requirements at universities are particularly challenging.

    • In the LAMASS@DiLea project, I am investigating academic success in a comparison of face-to-face and digital study formats. I am particularly interested in the relevance of strategies of self-regulated learning and digital competencies in interaction with the framework conditions that a digital study program and the university offer to students.
