About the person
Short biography
Prof. Dr. habil. Andreas Harrer has been teaching as Professor of Human-Computer Interaction and Web Engineering at the Faculty of Computer Science at Fachhochschule Dortmund since 2019. He has been working for 25 years on topics of intelligent support with teaching/learning systems in the fields of intelligent tutoring systems, AI & education, computer-supported collaborative learning and interaction analysis / learning analytics.
In positions at the TU Munich (studies and doctorate), University of Duisburg-Essen (habilitation), KU Eichstätt and TU Clausthal, he was involved in numerous international R&D projects in the field of educational technologies, including as speaker of the Special Interest Group "Artificial Intelligence & Education" in the EU Network of Excellence Kaleidoscope (2004-2007), in the development of the COSSICLE reference model for learning process modeling and as technical leader in the EU joint project Metafora for intelligent support of self-regulated learning (with partners at DFKI/Saarbrücken and London Knowledge Lab, among others).
As part of the Institute for the Digital Transformation of Application and Living Domains (IDiAL), he led the BMBF-funded Faledia project from 2020-2022. He is co-applicant and sub-project leader in the current projects IPPOLIS(Opens in a new tab) in the BMBF funding program "Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education" and SecAware2.0(Opens in a new tab) for a nationwide educational program to increase awareness of cybersecurity issues.
