A NEW CONNECTION BETWEEN DIDACTIC AND TECHNOLOGY
As a spin-off of the two universities of Osnabrück and Saarbrücken, Didactic Innovations GmbH designs innovative education and training scenarios for the company of the future. We design and digitize modern teaching and learning formats and form them into a new combination of didactics and technology – or in one concept: Didactic Innovations.
PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS
Both at the Department of Didactics of Prof. Dr. Julia Knopf in Saarbrücken as well as at the Chair for Business Informatics of Prof. Dr. Oliver Thomas in Osnabrück, Germany, innovative software systems for school and vocational education and training are being developed and tested. While Saarbrücken focuses on didactic methods and models, in Osnabrück technology and the use of new digital media in different sectors play an important role.
The added value lies precisely in the combination of both competence lines. Within a short period of time, we have been able to combine the development of modern learning formats and the use of new technologies into innovative solutions in education and training along the lifelong education chain through joint project activities.
PUBLICATIONS
The team of Didactic Innovations GmbH consists of scientifically and practically experienced digitization and didactic experts. Selected publications on digitization in education and training, on the use of modern technologies such as augmented and virtual reality in the context of digitization and education, or on new smart services for trainers and apprentices prove the innovative strength of the company.
