InnoLab Topics
Innovation Lab worked on various goals (e.g. support digitization, transformation proceses, data souvereignity, motivation & empowerment, self-development of skills and competencies, lifelong-learning) with different target groups and domains...
Domains and target groups
In our projects, we do not only support students and teachers in educational institutions like schools or universities. We also enhanced training scenarios with new concepts to improve vocational education or help supervisors to upskill their staff. Finally, we provided solutions to empower everybody to participate in lifelong learning. In our interdisciplinary projects we had the chance to re-think learning in the industry, craftsmanship or healthcare sector.

Our concepts included
Depending on our goal, we based our solutions on different learning approaches, like individual, collaborative, reflexive or inquiry-based learning. Thus, also the methods varied from gamification elements, recommendations, process & performance support via user generated content and discussion forums up to analytic tools and teacher training to enable them to create and re-use Online Labs and other Open Educational resources.

Our solutions comprised...
Our project results often have been tested and evaluated. Many of the prototypes were improved after we got feedback from the project partners. In some projects, we provided content in form of eBooks, instrcutions or MOOCs which have been published openly. The varity of the topics comprised information about eMobility, Carer's Guide for Young Onset Dementia, Learning Analytics / Educational Data Analytics, whereas some of the courses where for a certain target audience: Business and Innovation STEM education.
