Research Center for the Higher Education of the Future

Welcome to CATALPA - Center of Advanced Technology for Assisted Learning and Predictive Analytics - a central scientific institution of the FernUniversität Hagen. CATALPA does not only stand for research on adaptive learning technologies. In our research center, nearly 60 scientists work together interdisciplinarily to support the transformation of education towards more digitality, personalized learning, adaptive systems, and artificial intelligence with evidence-based findings and to advance them in practice.

In doing so, the most diverse scientists share common roots: the interest in creating the best possible conditions - for students and lecturers. It is therefore fitting that CATALPA also stands for the so-called trumpet tree.
