Welcome to the Institute for Interactive Systems (ISy)

The Institute for Interactive Systems (ISy) is one of the competence centers of the TH Lübeck. With about 30 employees, we conduct numerous third-party funded research projects around the development of interactive systems and technologies. One focus is on the topics of digital education, computer-aided communication and cooperation, and human-centered design.

 

Digital education

We develop innovative digital teaching-learning formats, platforms and content for university teaching, training and continuing education. Under "Courses" you will find our research and development platform "Future Learn Lab" and can register for selected courses yourself.

 

Learning Analytics & Artificial Intelligence

We explore and implement cutting-edge technologies in learning analytics and artificial intelligence to enable individualized and adaptive learning. Through data analytics and machine learning, we optimize learning paths to promote learning success.

 

Platform and technology development

We rely on open source technologies and systems to develop intelligent, networked platform services for digital learning and working.

3½ Questions about the VFH Symposium 2024

Thorleif Harder, research assistant at the TH Lübeck, reports on the VFH Symposium 2024 at the Berliner Hochschule für Technik.

Who are you and what kind of conference was it?

I'm Thorleif Harder, a research assistant at the Institut für Interaktive Systeme TH Lübeck. From June 12 to 14, 2024, I took part in the VFH Symposium at the Berliner Hochschule für Technik. The VFH Symposium is an important platform for discussing current developments in virtual universities of applied sciences and digital education.

How were you able to get involved in the event?

I had the opportunity to present our research project DiSEA Digital Study Programs: Analysis of Success and Dropout Factors, funded by the BMBF, funding guideline Study Success / Dropout II in a 1½ -hour presentation. Together with my colleagues from the Berlin University of Applied Sciences, I presented the current status of our research and shared the most important findings from three years of project work. After the presentation, I was able to receive valuable feedback from the participants in a lively discussion and take away exciting new ideas for the further development of the project.

What did you take away from the event?

The VFH symposium opened up many new perspectives for me in terms of topics and content. The exchange with other lecturers and practitioners from the field of digital education was particularly enriching.The discussions about the future challenges and opportunities in higher education gave me new ideas for the further development of our DiSEA project. The contacts I made also offer interesting opportunities for future collaborations and projects.

Name a highlight from the event

A particular highlight was the inspiring keynote speech by my ISy colleague Andreas Wittke. He painted a fascinating picture of the future digital university and asked questions that got us all thinking: Will we still need traditional lecture halls and lecture notes in the future or will we meet in the Metaverse with VR goggles? His vision of more flexible, more individualized forms of learning and the role of microcredentials significantly shaped the discussions during the symposium and opened up new perspectives for us all.
