Michael Kerres
Professor of Educational Science

As full professor of educational science I hold the chair of Educational Technology and Instructional Design within the Faculty of Educational Sciences of University Duisburg-Essen. In our research, we address learning with digital technology in the various sectors of vocational, higher, adult and corporate education.

We follow an approach of design-based research in education and cooperate with our university's Interdisciplinary Center of Educational Research. This approach allows us to generate innovative, research-based solutions that address the evolving challenges and opportunities of technology-enhanced learning.

I have authored the German textbooks Mediendidaktik (6th ed.) and Didaktik (1st ed.) with the accompanying website didaktik.info
