Current Courses (2026W)
In this seminar, you will learn about computer science (CS) education and didactical concepts applied in the TU Wien Informatics eduLAB, such as discovery learning, learning by doing, constructionist learning. You will learn to teach workshops and design your own interactive exercises using the CS unplugged design pattern. Topics for exercises can be freely chosen, allowing you to dive into a CS topic you are interested in, e.g., AI, algorithmics, IT security.

The course covers various topics in the research areas of learning technologies and learning analytics. It takes a human-centered perspective and focuses on the educational domain, its user groups and contexts. Topics may include: Learning Theories; Learning Environments; Learning Technologies, e.g. Educational Games, AI; Learning Analytics Infrastructures; Learning Analytics Methods; Ethics, Gender and Diversity in Education.
Besides regular lectures introducing the different topics, students will work on a collaborative project designing and implementing a prototype involving learning technologies and learning analytics. Topics for projects are proposed by the instructors, but students are also encouraged to suggest their own original ideas to work on..

Software Projects
The project aims to enhance the unplugged “Treasure Hunt Robot” task which is part of an algorithm workshop for students aged 11-16. In this task, participants can write “programs” by assembling 3D-printed programming commands on a table. The project will provide a software that assists instructors in checking the students’ results and building a bridge between unplugged and digital tasks. Instructors can scan the students’ “programs” with a smartphone or tablet camera. The software analyzes the sequence as well as the structure (including nesting and branching), and provides feedback on potential syntactic and semantic errors. This process enables students to experience trial-and-error programming more interactively, while maintaining the unplugged nature of the task.
Interested? Please contact Martina Landman.
