Praxistransfer: Was ist feministische Digitalpolitik und was kann sie von der Forschung lernen?

Praxistransfer: Was ist feministische Digitalpolitik und was kann sie von der Forschung lernen?

Digitalisation
Digital, Wissenschaftlich & Gleichberechtigt Als IT- und Bildungsforscherin im EduTec-Team engagiere ich mich ehrenamtlich in der Kommunal- und Landespolitik. Da gibt es viele Bereiche, wo ich immer wieder merke, dass der Praxistransfer aus der Wissenschaft in die Politik fehlt oder noch nicht ausreichend stattfindet. Das betrifft auch mein Forschungsgebiet, der Einbindung vielfältiger und weiblicher Perspektiven in die digitale Transformation dessen wie wir künftig leben, lernen und arbeiten. Für die Politik, die ich mache, kann man ganz grundsätzlich sagen, dass ich Gleichberechtigung fördere, da sie sozialen Wandel zu einer Priorität und nicht zu einem nachträglichen Gedanken macht. Geschlechtsspezifische Ungleichheit ist ein Querschnittsthema, das in allen digital berührten gesellschaftlichen Bereichen Anwendung findet. Ich denke Gleichberechtigung in allen Politikbereichen mit – insbesondere in der Digitalpolitik. Frauen* machen die Hälfte der Weltbevölkerung aus, in…

Kickoff Meeting: MILKY-PSY – Multimodal Immersive Learning with Artificial Intelligence for Psychomotor Skills

Kickoff Meeting: MILKY-PSY – Multimodal Immersive Learning with Artificial Intelligence for Psychomotor Skills

Digitalisation, Higher Education, Multimodal Learning Analytics, Project
Those who want to learn a sport train new psychomotor skills. Until now, this has required role models such as teachers on site who explain, demonstrate and assess certain processes. A consortium around the Cologne Game Lab of the TH Köln is developing a learning environment with artificial intelligence (AI) to support the training process as part of the joint research project MILKI-PSY.   Wer eine Sportart erlernen will, trainiert neue psychomotorische Fähigkeiten. Bislang werden dafür Vorbilder wie Lehrerinnen und Lehrer vor Ort benötigt, die bestimmte Abläufe erklären, zeigen und beurteilen. Ein Konsortium um das Cologne Game Lab der TH Köln entwickelt im Rahmen des Verbundforschungsprojekts MILKI-PSY eine Lernumgebung mit künstlicher Intelligenz (KI), die den Trainingsprozess unterstützen soll. Künstlerische, sportliche und handwerkliche Tätigkeiten erfordern psychomotorische Fähigkeiten, bei denen körperliche Bewegungen mit…
