Problem definition
A major challenge in university teaching is to impart sustainable and in-depth knowledge. Traditionally, many students rely on so-called "bulimic learning", in which they absorb a large amount of knowledge shortly before exams in order to be able to recall it at short notice for the exam. However, this approach means that what has been learned is quickly forgotten again, is not anchored in the memory in the long term and actual skills development does not take place.
Large courses with little individual supervision are particularly susceptible to this. Here it is difficult to ensure effective feedback. The lack of continuous repetition and reflection of learning material prevents the knowledge from being deeply anchored and thus makes it difficult to apply and transfer it to real-world problems. This initial situation requires innovative didactic approaches in order to improve the learning process and offer students a sustainable opportunity to acquire knowledge, network knowledge and thus develop skills.
