Projects Hackathons Lectures

Novel Teaching Methods

I am experimenting with various instruments to improve my lectures and learning experience.

Masters Programmes @HHZ

Lectures on Digital Business Engineering (DBE) and Digital Business Management (DBM) take place every term at the HHZ. Some of them are held in our Smart Environment for data driven lecturing (DDL).

Projects

Term or two-term projects conducted by students.

Hackathons

Results of hackathons conducted in masters programmes SCM and DBM.

Digital Business Engineering (DBE)

The master program Digital Business Engineering (DBE) is the successor of the program Services Computing.

Lectures

Lectures take place every term at the HHZ and the Reutlingen University. Some of them are organized as Data Driven Lectures (DDL). DDL was awared by the Hochschullehrpreis of the Reutlingen University. I also utilize educational quiz games. These were developed by students for students. Have a look on my awared Method for Rapid Development of online Educational Games by Students.
