What is my role within CATALPA?

CATALPA has been accompanying my collaborative professorship between the FernUniversität in Hagen and the German Institute for Adult Education (DIE) since the very beginning. As a cognitive psychologist, I lead the sub-project at DIE within the framework of the joint project NOVA:ea. This project focused in particular on the diversity-appropriate design and acceptance of e-assessments. I am currently advising the executive board on structural issues.

Why CATALPA?

New digital technologies have great potential to support the design of individually adaptive teaching/learning processes across educational sectors. However, the complex research and development work requires close interdisciplinary cooperation. The research center CATALPA offers ideal conditions for my work.
