Effective and Efficient Digital Education

Teaching, learning, and legally compliant testing in one integrated system. Our Project GEM expands Moodle to improve modern teaching and examinations at Universities.

Background

Moodle is the most widely used open source learning management system at universities worldwide for the electronic support of courses. However, it can only be used to map complete teaching/learning processes to a limited extent, as its current form has weaknesses in the areas of constructive alignment, security, software architecture, and legal compliance, particularly with regard to legally compliant electronic examinations.

Project GEM

The GEM project is looking for optimal software support for (digitized) courses in which both teaching and learning as well as formative and summative assessment, i.e., practice, testing, and legally compliant examination, can be mapped. Implementation in a single system enables a better experience for students and teachers through a single solution for teaching and testing. Further advantages include cost reduction for operation and content creation, as well as promotion of digitization.

Project Goals

As part of the project, a standard Moodle system will be transformed into a secure examination environment using plugins. In addition, innovative didactic concepts for existing courses will be developed and tested in collaboration with teachers and students. Overall, the following goals are being pursued: a uniform system for learning, practicing, and legally compliant testing; avoidance of media breaks; stress reduction during exams thanks to a familiar software environment; adaptation to individual examination regulations; didactic added value through digitization; immense time and cost savings in the creation of teaching and exam content; optimal use of resources and the promotion of new technologies (AI) through the use of open standards and interfaces.
