What is my role within CATALPA?

As a social scientist, I work in the IMPACT projekt. We are implementing AI-based feedback and assessment with Trusted Learning Analytics in higher education institutions. Before the project LAMASS@DiLea gave me the opportunity to investigate the reasons for study success and dropout in digital distance learning in Germany.

Why CATALPA?

My goal is to explore together what roles personal development, life circumstances, and personality play in student dropout and success rates, and how AI-driven feedback can positively impact student learning outcomes.
