As a professor of educational sciences I hold the chair of Educational Technology and Knowledge Management within the Faculty of Educational Sciences of University of Duisburg-Essen. I am directing the Learning Lab, a research and development facility working on projects about digital innovations in education. The Lab's research addresses the various sectors of secondary, higher, vocational, 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, that comprises around 200 educational researchers of the different faculties of our university.
I have authored the German textbooks Mediendidaktik (5th ed.) and Didaktik (1st ed.) with the accompanying website didaktik.info.
As founder and partner of learninglab gGmbH, a non-profit company, we are providing support and consulting to the various fields of education - to "implement the future of education".
