What is my role within CATALPA?
I supervised online research groups at the FernUniversität Hagen for several semesters as a lecturer. Here, I was particularly interested in how students work towards a common work goal. How does the composition of these groups affect work and social behavior and performance in terms of personality, gender, and age differences? With this background, I also support CATALPA with methodological-statistical analyses.
Why CATALPA?
For me, CATALPA is an ideal tie-in to the dissertation I completed on virtual collaboration and dark personality last year. My focus, in particular, on non-visible diversity characteristics (including personality, attitudes, and value configuration) is, in my view, an essential complement to (mostly) visible diversity in terms of gender, age, and ethnic background. There are many starting points here for making university teaching and learning even more target group-oriented in the age of digitalization, which is no longer conceivable without it. In this context, it is important to me that data is handled in an ethically sensitive manner and that everyone has the maximum possible scope for action.
