Learning with the Machine - Digital Tool for Continuing Education
If an employee needs learning material for a machine, he/she receives it via the learning tool. The special feature: The program is tailored to the respective company. This has been tested in several evaluations in collaboration with B.Braun. Instead of having to rummage through pages of manuals, instructions are provided for the machine in question and operation is illustrated with pictures and brief explanations.
The instructions are not created externally, but by colleagues in the company. "Employees can design their own learning content or create virtual tours of the company," explains project manager Dr. Andreas Janson from the Department of Information Systems.
Designed for China, developed for the world
The KLuQ system from the KoLeArn project was designed for German production in China, for example for the company B. Braun. "There is a different training culture in China than in Germany. It often has a low practical component and job changes are not uncommon," explains project participant Marian Thiel de Gafenco from the Department of Business Education with a focus on vocational teaching and learning. "We are solving this problem with KoLeArn. Employees can now train themselves independently," adds colleague Tim Weinert from the Department of Business Informatics.
The system was developed at the Scientific Center for Information Technology Design (ITeG) at the University of Kassel by the Department of Information Systems(Prof. Dr. Jan Marco Leimeister) in collaboration with the Department of Business Education with a focus on vocational teaching and learning (Prof. Dr. Jens Klusmeyer). The BZ Berufsbildungszentrum Kassel GmbH, Wirtschaftsförderung Region Kassel GmbH and Lyncronize GmbH also took part. The University of Kassel received around €1 million in funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
