Open Educational Resources for Business Process Management : Methods and technologies for the digitalization of business processes in the digital transformation

This project was used to prepare the digitalization of business processes in companies from both a methodological and an application-oriented perspective, taking into account central principles and current trends. To this end, two teaching units were developed in cooperation with the Chair of Application Systems and E-Business at the Georg-August University of Göttingen: 1) Methodological foundations of business modeling and 2) Technologies for the management of business processes using the flipped classroom approach. Teaching materials were created and tested for all phases of the flipped classroom and are now available as Open Educational Resources (OER).

BOW involved:

  • Prof. Dr. Uwe Hoppe
  • Nicole Draxler-Weber

  • Redesigning the content of the Business Process Management module and developing a suitable flipped classroom concept including an overview of learning objectives.
  • Creation of teaching materials for all flipped classroom phases, including teaching videos and a practice-oriented case study with a fictitious company scenario.
  • Mutual testing and evaluation of the concept and all teaching materials by project partners with subsequent adaptation.
  • Provision of all teaching materials as Open Educational Resources (OER) including additional instructional materials for teachers to use the materials.

SIDDATA : Study individualization through digital, data-supported assistants

The joint project SIDDATA investigated how students can be efficiently and effectively supported in achieving their individual educational goals. Previously unconnected data and information was brought together in a digital study assistant. Such an assistant was implemented as a model at three universities in Lower Saxony. The digital assistant should provide students with situation-appropriate advice, reminders and recommendations and enable comparisons with individual, factual and social norms.

BOW involved:

  • Prof. Dr. Uwe Hoppe
  • Carla Reinken
  • Paul Greiff

ZelosWI : Association for eLearning in Information Systems Osnabrück

In order to counteract overcrowded classrooms, a lack of objectives and limited opportunities for interaction between teachers and students, the ZelosWI project transformed teaching modules in the Information Systems bachelor's degree program. The concept of the flipped classroom was implemented, in which theoretical content is developed online before attendance times are used for in-depth joint knowledge consolidation.

BOW involved:

  • Prof. Dr. Uwe Hoppe
  • Linda Blömer
  • Christin Lichtenberg
  • Nicole Draxler-Weber

  • Development and implementation of flipped classroom concepts for the major undergraduate courses in Information Systems.
  • Improving the quality of courses through clear, transparent learning objectives.
  • Development of a taxonomy for the formulation of learning objectives in the transformed modules.
  • Integration of digital technologies into teaching and establishment of digital learning and examination formats.
  • Creation and testing of a category system for the acceptance of the teaching concept (evaluation model).

DTkompakt : Digital transformation - teaching the basics and best practices in a sustainable and innovative way

In the DTkompakt project, a video-based pre-class teaching unit was developed in line with the flipped classroom concept. This teaching unit is aimed at students as future designers of the digital transformation, as well as at colleagues from other universities in Lower Saxony and interested experts from the field for teaching support.

With the support of specially trained student assistants, informative and entertaining educational videos were created. In addition to the basics of digital transformation from current research in the scientific community, successful models from practice were also presented. Provided as Open Educational Resources (OER), this enables extensive reuse in many Information Systems and Information Science modules.

BOW involved:

  • Prof. Dr. Uwe Hoppe
  • Fynn-Hendrik Paul
  • Henning Brink

To the  videos...

  • Strengthen digital competence: Equip students and professionals with basic knowledge of digital technologies.
  • Promote understanding of DT: Create a common understanding of digital transformation (DT) and clarify its importance.
  • Overcoming barriers: Identify hurdles and challenges to digital transformation and present strategies to overcome them.
  • Creating sustainable educational resources: Providing Open Educational Resources (OER) that enable extensive reuse in many Information Systems and Information Science modules.
