fobizz expands further education offering to universities
Since it was founded in 2018, the Hamburg-based startup fobizz has helped teachers and pupils at over 7,500 schools to enter the digital world and learn how to use artificial intelligence (AI). The company is now expanding its target group to include universities through a framework agreement with Brandenburg.
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.
fobizz, a service of101skills GmbH, is the leading German-language platform for further training and providers of AI tools for teachers and schools. fobizz has set itself the task of promoting the digitalization of tuition and enabling teachers to impart knowledge in the areas of artificial intelligence, media and IT to their students in a simple and practical way. fobizz sees itself in the role of a daily companion for teachers to relieve them in their day-to-day classes. The team led by founder Dr. Diana Knodel has already trained over 600,000 teachers in German-speaking countries on current digital topics and AI.
