What is my role within CATALPA?

As a didactician with a background in biology, I am working in the NOVA:ea project on the design and development of digital assessments (e-assessments) for a heterogeneous audience. In this context, I am particularly interested in how design features and task formats influence the acceptance of e-assessments.

Why CATALPA?

CATALPA offers me the opportunity to gain insights into different areas of the research field “digitization, diversity, and lifelong learning” and to share and discuss my research with expert colleagues. I find this exchange inspiring and motivating. I am convinced that being part of CATALPA can support me in my scientific career and open up new perspectives. Especially for the work in the interdisciplinary project NOVA:ea, which is dedicated to the optimization of e-assessments, networking and exchange is important and valuable.
