OUR CENTRES

Student Center

The center aims to provide an openly accessible learning environment for students at all German higher education institutions, where they can practice with digital tasks independently of the formal curriculum.

ABOUT US

WHAT WE CAN DO

At the Student Center of the DZdA, we are developing a learning environment with digital exercises for students, enabling all students in STEM disciplines (WiMINT) to learn directly through digital learning activities. On this open platform, digital exercises are available to all students for course-related practice in a variety of exercise formats. The goal of the learning environment is to enable students to study and practice independently, tailoring their learning to their individual needs and degree programs.

We are developing a range of learning formats that students can choose from and complete individually, including:

Direct practice of specific topics with personalized feedback and visible learning progress
Self-assessment of existing knowledge followed by personalized learning recommendations
Interactive and adaptive learning pathways and practice scenarios, including AI-supported features
Interaction with other students, for example through student-created collections of exercises for collaborative learning

Students' perspectives and feedback are an integral part of the development process. To support this, we are creating various participation formats, such as surveys and workshops involving individual students or student groups from different universities and institutions, including the Higher Education Forum for Digitalization and the Stifterverband.

Learning Platform

Developing an interactive learning platform with open-access digital practice exercises for all students
