I-SECURE: Empowering education systems in information security
European project (Erasmus+)
Schools are best placed to teach children the digital and critical literacy skills to maximize opportunities and minimize risks. ICT security should therefore become a core dimension of the curriculum and teachers should receive specific training on this topic to empower them to develop measures for a safe use of ICT. Therefore, the project aims to develop an ‘information security culture' to increase the awareness in this field as a crucial step in the digitization process of the educational contexts. Moreover, the project will develop and test the 'I Secure Agent prototype course methodology and curriculum' and the 'Technology Enhances Learning I Secure eco-system', which will represent ready to use tools and instruments for supporting teacher training and empowering them in the field of information security in school education.

MedLit: Media Literacy and Social Change
European project (Erasmus+, Knowledge Alliance)
We live in a media society, where people know, what they know, only by their usage of different media channels. The quality of media communication combined with the usage of those media determines the quality of the internal social relationships and changes the culture of social cohesion, social participation, social attention and their policies. Therefore, media competence has to be valued as the social and cultural capital of society. The MedLit project wants to establish a transnational media literacy program, creating a network of European and Asian universities who exchange knowledge on the use of media to further social relationships and change. Together they will develop a MOOC on media literacy that teaches how to apply the media within their own social context for social change.

Interactive practicals
Interactive practicals for active and situated learning about the psychology master and professions
Principal investigator: Hans Hummel
Problems with the current IP course (Introduction to Psychology) are that: 1.Content is outdated and in need of integration with psychological history, 2.Knowledge is considered too factual and boring to study, and 3. Retention and dropout rates are disappointing and in need of structuring and motivation mechanisms. Potential solutions are seen in case-based interactive practicals (CBIP), which will offer more active and situated ways of learning about the psychology program and future professions in psychology. This project will therefore design, develop and evaluate an integrated set of game-based, practical assignments where students actively engage with situated knowledge about the future study and potential career paths. We will both compare the old and new course, and carry out experimentation within the new game variants, using a triangulation of methods and techniques: qualitative surveys (measuring enjoyability and effectiveness), quantitative experiments (measuring actual learning effects) and logging (measuring retention and dropout).
