In short text documents and videos the most important theoretical concepts and terms are explained and the forthcoming tasks are introduced.
Guided by an electronical tutorial (E.Tutorial) the concepts of the step SEE together with the tool (IDE, Database, etc.) are applied. This step serves as preparation for the project in the DO step.
In this step the concepts are appied individually to an problem based task. This leads to a transfer of knowledge from the previous steps to a sientific content.
In the final step the individual solutions of the project are discussed in a face-to-face meeting with a specialist. Feedback and feedforward are a fundmental part of this step.
By solving informatics projects with real world data sophisticated subjects (e.g. programming, databases, etc.) are taught and can be adapted to a specifc target group. The students gain knowledge on a higher cognitive level and additional gain insight into scientific work.
Through the development of electonical instrcution materials the students can prepare the independen solving of the problem depending on their pre knowledge and in their individual speed. The student gain the basics independently and the motivation and independency are increased.
Monitoring solutions provide lectuers of large classes insights into the current status of the students learning progress and on the quality of work by the teaching assistants. By collection interaction data the quality of the instruction materials can be monitored and improved continously.
A high number of exams, short exam durations, security during the execution of the exams and the aim to no simply check the reproduction of knowledge, lead to high standards for a system for electonic exans. We have developed a new task based question type, which is automatically corrected, and allow to measure students' knowledge on the same cognitive level as the istruction.
We support schools, teachers and partners in the industry, how existing or new teaching materials can be implemented effectively via a suitable didactic and technic setup.
E.Tutorial supports a direct application from concepts on a computer (e.g. IDE, Databasem etc.). The students are guided by step-by-step instructions. Single steps can be checked by collapsable visual aids. E.Tutorial can be used to level out the pre knowledge, or can be used as individual preparation for problem bases tasks.
The exercise session managment system PELE (Personal Electronic Learning Environment), allows students and teaching assistants to select individual appointsments for the discussion of projects and see informations about their current status in the learning progress. Teaching assistants call students via a webinterface and can assess them direct after the discussion. The students also rate the discussion. PELE is important to align distance learning and face-to-face meetings.
Sioux (Secure Interactive Online eXam) organises the process of generating and managing exam questions by several authors. It allows to generate and execute formative and summative exams and the correction and analysis of exam.
