DIPF Experts at ‘Book a Scientist’

‘Book a Scientist’ gives anyone interested the chance to spend 25 minutes online with experts from Leibniz Association institutes, asking them anything they have ever wanted to know about their favourite topic. DIPF researchers will once again be taking part in this popular event on 3 June.

Appointments can be booked via the Leibniz Association website, including those of DIPF researchers:

• What are Open Educational Resources (OER) and what role do they play for education and science? Dr Johannes Appel, available at 10.30 and 11 a.m.: 
  Johannes Appel works at OER information centre (OERinfo), where he organises various information, advice and networking services. He provides information about open educational resources, their potential for a sustainable educational landscape and how they can be used, disseminated and promoted in educational institutions.
  
  
• Technology-Based Innovations for Educational Research and Practice, Dr. Fabian Zehner, available at 10 am, 10:30 am, 11 am, 4 pm, 4:30 pm and 5 pm:
  Language is omnipresent in teaching and learning: in knowledge transfer, peer interactions, learning materials, exam responses, or evaluation. Therefore, teachers and learners can benefit from computers that are capable of processing language and machine learning (also known as AI). For example, they can automatically evaluate student responses or have all students answer questions in class and then group and visualize the answers on a dashboard.
  
  
• History of educational inequality, Dr Tilman Drope, available at 10 and 10:30 a.m.:
  In his current research, Tilman Drope looks at the problematisation of educational inequality in Germany over the past 120 years. How and by whom are class-specific disadvantages problematised, what is done about them – or not? Which traditions still have an impact today, and what successes have been achieved in combatting educational disadvantage?
