AI opens up new teaching opportunities for universities
Brandenburg's universities are driving forward the digitalisation of teaching: the new agreement secures them access to AI-supported teaching and learning tools from fobizz for four years. Their use can support teachers in the preparation and follow-up of courses and offers students individualised, needs-based learning help. A particular highlight are the extended AI seminar rooms, which enable large groups of up to 100 students to work with the AI tools in seminars and lectures. This collaboration is the first of its kind for fobizz and is intended to serve as a model for future agreements.
“With this framework agreement, we are working together with the universities to create the conditions for future-oriented higher education that promotes innovative teaching methods and interdisciplinary approaches to meet the needs of a changing society.”
