Goals

The goal of the project is to identify the factors for success and dropout in digital study formats and their interactions on the subjective, curricular and institutional level. With the interdisciplinary consortium consisting of researchers from educational science, computer science and economics, the LAMASS@DiLea project is, for the first time, creating a research and knowledge base, analyzing the factors of dropping out in digital study formats in a differentiated manner and reviewing them for sustainable recommendations for action.

All partners work together on the study on academic success and drop-out in digital study formats as well as on the comparative study. In addition, each project partner also pursues its own research module according to its research interests:

The team at the FernUniversität in Hagen deals with the research module on the relevance of strategies for self-regulated learning and digital competencies, which are examined primarily on the subjective level in relation to digital study formats.

The DIPF team is responsible for data analysis; In addition, it researches the development prospects of learning analytics for academic success in digital study formats in its research module.

With its research data management, the DFKI ensures that the entire research data life cycle remains transparent and that research data conforms to the FAIR principles. In their research module, development perspectives for the use and design of AI processes as well as user-adaptive measures to increase academic success are investigated.

The network partner AKAD University places a special focus on the factors related to the curriculum. The AKAD team compares rigid, semester-oriented and flexibly customizable study models in relation to study success and drop-out.
