Keynote
"Was mit KI-Technologie in der Bildung nicht funktioniert (und was stattdessen sinnvoll sein könnte)"
lecturer: Nele Hirsch (eBildungslabor)
Date: Wed, January 21, 2026, 10-11:30 a.m.
language: The lecture will be held in German, feel free to discuss in English
Lecture and discussion online on Zoom
About the lecture: Starting with a brief look “under the hood” of AI technology in the sense of generative AI language models, Nele Hirsch (eBildungslabor) explains why AI language models do not work as answer machines, but can serve well as resonance machines for learning.
Nele Hirsch is an educational scientist and educator at the eBildungslabor, which she founded. She supports and advises schools, universities, adult education institutions, and civil society organizations on designing good education in an increasingly digital society. Her focus is on innovative learning formats, collaborative and creative learning methods, open educational resources (OER), artificial intelligence (AI), and education for sustainable development (ESD).

WueDive: AI Consulting
An opportunity for you as a teacher to reflect on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education teaching with trained educators, share your knowledge, and develop new ideas. At WueDive, we see ourselves as a point of contact for exchange, collegial learning, and networking. To the consulting services
AI for literature research and academic writing
Are you a student, graduate, or doctoral candidate with questions about the appropriate and permissible use of generative AI and AI-based literature research tools? Then contact the Writing Center. Our qualified writing tutors and the director of the Writing Center are available as contact persons for individual writing consultations, workshops, or our moderated learning and writing groups.

Utilising artificial intelligence productively for teaching - that is the common goal of the funded AI projects in the WueDive project. Employees and students from various faculties are working on specially trained chatbots and AI assistance models, developing adaptive learning environments or testing existing tools for teaching applications.

[denk]anstoß - what is that anyway?
From self-organisation, reading and writing strategies to digital literacy and critical thinking - with the "[denk]anstoß" format, we focus on an interdisciplinary topic every year, which often falls by the wayside due to the tightly scheduled university routine.
In addition to an introductory lecture at the start of each semester, we offer brief insights into current discourse, present tried-and-tested concepts, highlight strategic options for action or invite discussion and participation.
The formats are aimed at students and teaching staff.
