What is my role within CATALPA?

In the IMPACT project we focus on the implementation of trusted learning analytics and AI in higher education. My focus is on the implementation of different open source applications as well as the development of analysis approaches with AI-supported methods. Until 2/2024 I was an alternate member of the CATALPA executive board.

Why CATALPA?

With the IMPACT project, CATALPA gives me the framework and opportunities to further my education in an interesting research field and also to start my scientific career. The interdisciplinary composition of the project teams creates a framework that makes it possible to generate synergies.
