Learning with the Machine - Digital Tool for Continuing Education
If an employee needs learning material for a machine, he/she gets it via the learning tool. The special feature: The program is tailored to the respective company. This was tested in several evaluations in cooperation with B.Braun. Instead of digging through pages of manuals, instructions are provided for the machine being searched for, and operation is accompanied by pictures and brief explanations.
The instructions are not created externally, but by colleagues in the company. "Employees can independently design learning content or create virtual tours of the plant," 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 B. Braun company. "In China, there is a different training culture than in Germany. This often takes place with 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. "With KoLeArn, we are solving this problem. Working people can now learn on their own," adds colleague Tim Weinert from the Department of Business Information Systems.
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). Furthermore, the BZ Berufsbildungszentrum Kassel GmbH, the Wirtschaftsförderung Region Kassel GmbH and Lyncronize GmbH participated. The University of Kassel received funding of around €1 million from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
