In the cross-university, interdisciplinary teaching project GamBLe EduCache, students develop instructional content for their fellow students (or for school pupils) in the form of an educational game based on the principle of geocaching (a scavenger hunt). At former industrial sites in the Ruhr region, participants complete gamified learning tasks that connect theoretical knowledge with practical experience.
In the interdisciplinary teaching project GamBLe EduCache, which spans multiple universities, students develop teaching content for their fellow students (or school pupils) in the form of an educational game based on the principle of geocaching (“scavenger hunt”). Gamified learning tasks are solved at former industrial sites in the Ruhr area, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience.
The Moodle course was developed to accompany the courses in the module “Statistics for Educational Scientists” (lecture and exercise, which are linked) in the “Bachelor of Arts” degree program in Educational Science at the Ruhr University Bochum.
The DRAGON Ruhr.nrw project expands the previously only physically offered field work and construction site visits in course content at the interfaces between geosciences and civil and environmental engineering with digital offerings that are open to diversity. In addition to digitally guided recordings of subsoil and structures as well as handpieces and tools, augmented reality (AR) elements are implemented and 3D virtual reality (VR) experiences are included.

In this OCW course the lecture Linear Algebra and Geometry II held in SoSe 2017 is presented in structure, construction and sequence. This lecture is one of the four basic lectures that are obligatory for all students of mathematics in their first year of study.
This educational sciences seminar (area "Lehr-/Lernforschung") from WiSe 17/18 offered an understandable introduction to the theories of motivation and interest research. The seminar focused on the question of how motivation can be distinguished from interest.
The goal of this case study is to determine the optimal timing for repowering (option to extend) existing wind power plants, based on project specifications, using real options analysis. The solution method for defined type of option will be implemented and solved using Python.

In this case study, we will explore the potential of bio-fuels as a renewable energy source under uncertain biomass supply and uncertain demand. We will take an existing model for the supply chain and extend it to account for uncertainties. We will cover the following topics: Understanding a complex bio-fuel supply chain model, extending it for stochastic uncertainties and understanding the value of the extension and accessing the cost of the uncertainties.
In this case study, Markowitz's modern portfolio theory is used to determine the optimal allocation of four power generation technologies (two conventional and two renewable). The linear optimization model for this analysis is implemented and solved using Python.
The teaching research project “Making Jewish perspectives visible” aimed to research and document Jewish life and to prepare the results in the form of freely accessible OER materials (Open Educational Resources). Students had the opportunity to conduct research on a topic of their choice and to explore historical and/or contemporary Jewish realities and self-perceptions.
Germany has stated to achieve climate neutrality by 2045. The electricity sector thereby places a major role. Renewable technologies like solar and wind power produce electricity at low costs, but only provide electricity intermittently. This poses challenges to the grid operation which results in a need for flexibility options. In this case study, the influence of two novel flexibility technologies on the German electricity system in 2045 are examined using the method energy system optimization.
In order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in electricity generation, the expansion of wind energy is becoming increasingly important. In this case study, the life cycle of a wind turbine in openLCA is analyzed and evaluated. The environmental impact is compared with the German electricity mix and finally evaluated against electricity generation from PV and biomass. Weighting and sensitivity analyses are used to classify the results and derive a recommendation.
In this case study, we explore the potential of bio-fuels as a renewable energy source and analyze the challenges and opportunities in designing a sustainable and economically viable bio-fuel supply chain. We will focus on the modeling and optimization of the supply chain, taking into account the key factors that affect the economic viability and land-use.
You will learn to set up a suitable MILP model for integrated location, capacity and technology planning for synthetic fuels under abstracting assumptions, to implement it in Python and to solve it using the Gurobi solver, as well as to derive recommendations for action by analyzing the optimization results. You will use the generic OR model of the Warehouse Location Problem and learn to adapt it to a subject-specific model.
The content available here was created as part of the joint projectDigital HISTO NRW (see also the consortium's "Virtual Microscope" learning offer.)
To mitigate the effects of climate change, renewable energy supply measures are needed not only at national level, but also at personal level. This case study therefore looks at possible investments in renewable electricity supply at the household level. By manually varying input parameters such as investment costs in PV, battery costs and the grid electricity price, students study influences and interactions on the investment and scheduling of the energy system model of a typical household.
H5P, a function that is integrated into Moodle, specifically offers various options for working interactively with images. In this course, you will receive a brief explanation and a sample view of the various options that H5P offers for interactive images.
The accompanying exercise to the basic course in German Medieval Studies offers an introduction to working with Middle High German texts. In addition to providing an insight into various genres, the course focuses on dealing with the Middle High German language and consolidating your understanding of it.
The AI Prompt Lab introduces the technology of "prompting", i.e. the goal-oriented design of input when using speech-generating systems such as ChatGPT. The Prompt Lab is a revised version of the Prompt Lab of the Hochschulforum Digitalisierung.

How much forest area is there in a district? How well is a municipality provided with daycare centers? Where might there be gaps in basic medical care? These are all questions that require spatial data to answer. Such geodata is available throughout Germany in the form of basic geodata. In the AFIS-ALKIS-ATKIS data model, this data is organized and made available to users.
The professor needs your help! Valuable medieval books have disappeared from the library.
Are you ready for a journey back in time to the Middle Ages to find the books again?
The goal of the 5x5000 competition each semester is to support innovative e-learning projects at RUB that promote learning. The five winning projects are funded with prize money of 5,000 euros. Projects can be submitted by all RUB teachers or by a team consisting of teachers and students. The planning and implementation of the competition is entirely in the hands of students. A student jury will decide on the five winning projects.
Data has no form. It is therefore above all the medial communication of data that plays a decisive role. After all, it is only by making data available that it becomes addressable for human observation.
Nowadays, it is practically impossible for media and cultural professionals not to come into contact with platforms. Whether as product platforms such as Spotify or Netflix or as AI-based production platforms such as Dall-E (for images) or ChatGPT (for text) - platforms are inscribing themselves into our media practices as intermediaries and infrastructures.
‘The metaverse’ does not yet exist. It merely exists as many different visions of a future of computing, especially a future that Meta and Mark Zuckerberg would like to shape.
