The "Knowledge Transfer and Learning with New Technologies" working group focuses on research and teaching in the context of higher education and lifelong learning. Our international research collaborations are bundled in the Centre for Open Educational Research (COER). Here we deal with the diverse aspects of digitalisation in studies, teaching and further education (Open, Distance, and Digital Education, ODDE).

Macro level: education system level

• International comparative studies on ODDE systems
• International stocktaking and systematic reviews (e.g. on the use of artificial intelligence in education or online doctoral education)

Meso-level: level of educational institutions

• Strategy development for digitalisation in studies and teaching
• Quality assurance systems and tools for the implementation of open educational resources (OER)
• Recognition and assessment of competences / Prior Learning Accreditation and Recognition (PLAR)

Micro level: Didactic level of learning and teaching

• Biographies of non-traditional students
• Applications of artificial intelligence in education (AIEd)
• Development of OER

We are committed to the UN Agenda 2030 and hope to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our research and development work.
