The Learning Culture Survey (LCS) is a questionnaire-based research, investigating students’ perceptions of and expectations towards Higher Education (HE). The aim of this survey is to improve our understanding about the sources of cultural conflicts in educational scenarios. This understanding, shell help us to predict potential conflict situations and develop supportive measures.
After three years of development, the LCS was initialized in 2010 in South Korea and Germany. During the following years, the investigations were extended to further countries. The results, on the one hand, provided insights about the cultural context of HE in general and on the other hand, about specific (national / regional) characteristics of learners in HE. Most issues targeted with the questionnaire were directly linked to value systems. Thus, we expected from the beginning that the collected data would keep valid over longer periods of time. However, we had no evidence regarding the actual persistence of learning culture. For a study, designed to being implemented on a global scope and providing input for further applications, persistence is a basic condition to justify related investigations.
To answer the question on persistence, we repeated the LCS in our university every four years, between 2010 to 2018/19. Besides a small number of slight changes, explainable out of their situational context, the overall results kept consistent over the investigated years. In this paper, after an introduction of the LCS’ concept, setting and its general results from the past years, we present the insights from our most recently finalized longitudinal study on learning culture.
Digital transformation in Higher Education and Science is a mission-critical demand to prepare educational institutions for their future competition on the international market. In many cases, the digitization goes along with the search for and acquisition of new software. For easily exchangeable software, wrong product decisions, in the worst case, lead to calculable financial losses. However, if a planned software requires a lot of technological adjustments and is to be applied as central component of a business- and/or security-critical environment, wrong decisions during the software acquisition process might lead to hardly calculable damage. Questions arising are how to decide for a product and how many resources should be invested for the acquisition process.
We planned to apply a commercial Business Support System, which should replace the currently used in-house developed software. Our goals were the increase of our university’s level of data security, to ease the interaction between stakeholders, to eliminate media discontinuities, to improve the process management and transparency, and to reduce the execution time of automated processes. Alongside with the introduction of the electronic case file, our agenda stipulates the digitization (and automation) of administrative university processes, especially, but not limited to, the student self-service and the administrative student life cycle. Usual tools and practices, commonly applied to (simple) software acquisition, failed in our scenario.
With the case study introduced in this paper, we address all persons, involved within software acquisition processes: From our experiences, we strongly recommend to place greater value on an exhaustively completed acquisition process, than on short-termed economic advantages.
Remote labs for students' design experiments are available in engineering education for several years. To ensure students' acceptance it is important to have an appropriate and stimulating user interface. So the usage and control of a remote lab has to be devised from the students' point of view. The contribution describes the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) remote lab of the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University and the design of its user interface from students' perspective.
In this contribution we present the concept for creating an “International Chair” position at a German University of Applied Sciences and our experiences in its first implementation. Our primary goal was to increase the diversity of the university’s teaching personalities and enrich student education by including content, methods, examples and experiences from other cultures. This gives students an international and intercultural learning experience that is otherwise only acquired through studying abroad. We conclude that the International Chair is a valuable and powerful university tool for increasing international exposure to the departments, their staff and students.
In this paper we present a new initiative to promote collaborative learning through industry partnered, interdisciplinary, student and user centred projects. This was achieved through the development of rehabilitation devices augmented with gamified software. Today development of software systems often requires people from different specialities who can work in multidisciplinary teams to achieve a common objective. A key challenge, therefore, is producing graduates with an understanding of a number of disparate skills across many discipline boundaries. Undergraduates may be knowledgeable in one specific discipline but will not be aware of the issues brought to bear by other relevant disciplines. In an effort to overcome this limitation, a cross-discipline course “Serious Games and Welfare Technology” was developed that allows students from different disciplines to work together to produce innovative, technology- supported health solutions. The course, an EU funded Erasmus+ initiative, was supported by a MOOC and enabled multi- disciplined and multinational teams to produce solutions for leading Health technology companies in the areas of rehabilitation and aging support. Following the first year of offering the course with a cohort of students from 5 countries, we report on the experiences and outcomes achieved from a number of viewpoints.
A traditional way to teach bachelor students in electrical engineering is organized such that theoretical knowledge is predominant in the first year while applications and practical experiences are reserved for later stages of their education. In this contribution, we want to introduce a reverse approach: In a freshmen course at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Science, students gain hands-on experience with resistances, condensers and other active parts, like transistors or relays from the very first day. We present how the combination of practical experience directly linked with theoretical knowledge enhances students' learning. It promotes deeper understanding of the theory and a better transfer between theory and practice. This teaching approach is adapted to address two main goals: First, to give practical experience to first-semester students as a basis for further laboratory and working situations. Second, to create a deeper and more sustainable understanding of physics by directly observing the effects that are described in formulas. The key to success is to find an efficient solution to carry out this approach with the given spatial and financial resources-which means, to do it in the lecture hall with very few material resources. To show that this innovative teaching concept really enhances the competencies of the students, an innovative evaluation approach was used where the students have to reflect upon their competencies before and after the course.

This Business English course in entrepreneurship goes beyond communicative language instruction and offers a course designed to introduce students to innovative thinking, entrepreneurship and sustainable business practices. About 120 students in their first year are enrolled as part of the required foreign language module in Business Management (B.Sc.). Each week students learn new concepts and terminology in sustainable business practices while applying the material in a simulation task-based course using English as a lingua franca. It prepares students to work in an international context while offering online components for autonomous learning. This 12-14 week course is designed in a student-centered and blended learning format with a flipped classroom approach. Through a grant from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research the “work&study project” will offer additional online materials by developing new educational apps to enhance autonomous language learning and making the app content available under the Creative Commons license. The research project focuses on offering new learning environments to enhance the opportunities for non-traditional students enrolled at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. This paper will focus on the development of the first apps and results of the first testing phase. It shows how game-based learning and elements of gamification were added for educational purposes to enhance teaching and learning processes that were already well established.
Almost unnoticed by the e-learning community, the underlying technology of the WWW is undergoing massive technological changes on all levels these days. In this paper we draw the attention to the emerging game changer and discuss the consequences for online learning. In our e-learning project "Work & Study", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, we have experimented with several new technological approaches such as Mobile First, Responsive Design, Mobile Apps, Web Components, Client-side Components, Progressive Web Apps, Course Apps, e-books, and web sockets for real time collaboration and report about the results and consequences for online learning practice. The modular web is emerging where e-learning units are composed from and delivered by universally embeddable web components.
Seit 2012 wird an der Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg die Studieneingangsphase im Qualitätspakt Lehre gefördert. Ein wesentliches Anliegen im Projekt „Pro-MINT-us“ ist die Einbeziehung der gesamten Hochschule, um keine isolierten Maßnahmen anzubieten, sondern die im Projekt entwickelten Lehrideen nachhaltig zu verankern.
Die Beobachtung, dass insbesondere die interdisziplinäre Lehre an den Hochschulen eher stiefmütterlich behandelt wird, und die These, dass gerade die Bearbeitung von Fragen im Zusammenhang der gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung von Unternehmen (Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR) eine stärkere Berücksichtigung von Interdisziplinarität erfordern würde, liefern die Idee für diesen Beitrag. CSR bietet sich als Gegenstand für interdisziplinäre Forschung und Lehre in und zwischen Hochschulen an, weil diese Thematik sozusagen quer zu einzelnen Fachbereichen und wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen liegt. Über die Lehre können zudem vielfältige Vernetzungen auch mit dem gesellschaftlichen Umfeld von Hochschulen stattfinden. In diesem Beitrag werden deshalb einige ausgewählte Argumente für die Notwendigkeit interdisziplinärer Lehre – nach dem Motto: Eine gute Lehre ist die Grundlage für eine gute Forschung – sowie Argumente, warum diese nicht realisiert wird, erörtert. Auf dieser Grundlage werden abschließend Vorschläge entwickelt, wie sich die strukturellen Hindernisse überwinden lassen, mit denen sich die interdisziplinäre Lehre gegenwärtig konfrontiert sieht.
Telecollaborating and communicating in online contexts using English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) requires students to develop multiple literacies in addition to foreign language skills and intercultural communicative competence. This chapter looks at the intersection of technology and teaching ELF, examining mutual contributions of technologies, more specifically Web 2.0, and ELF to each other, and the challenges in designing and implementing collaboration projects across cultures. Moreover, it looks at how the development of digital competencies in ELF (DELF) can be enhanced through the implementation of Web 2.0 mediated intercultural dialogues. The detail of the research design including internet tools used, participants and tasks are also discussed. Data analysis points to a positive attitude towards telecollaboration, also providing confirmation of some of the problems identified in theoretical framework, such as different levels of personal engagement.
Am 19. Juni 1999 haben 30 europäische Staaten in der italienischen Universitätsstadt die sogenannte Bologna-Erklärung unterzeichnet. Sie legten damit den Grundstein für einen europäischen Hochschulraum, der inzwischen 47 Mitgliedsstaaten umfasst. Die Europäische Studienreform hat in ganz Europa zu weitreichenden Veränderungen der nationalen Hochschulsysteme geführt (vgl. Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung 2017). Neben zahlreichen strukturellen Veränderungen besteht der Kern der Reform vor allem aus Forderungen, welche die Lehre und das Lernen und somit die Hochschuldidaktik betreffen (Wehr und Ertel 2007, S. 17). Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt dieser Beitrag ein innovatives Lehr- und Lernkonzept im Bereich der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und insbesondere im Fachgebiet Produktion und Logistik vor: die simulationsbasierte Lehre.
