Due to the current emergency operation mode the course will be held online this semester. In Moodle.UP we will provide a weekly lecture recording and additional reading material. You will then have one week to work through the material. In the following week, you will have to complete reflections and practical exercises in Moodle.UP.

Due to the lack of attendance, the course will initially be held online this semester. If the official regulations permit, we will switch back to attendance mode. Since you will spend a large part of the time in this seminar anyway with (virtual) group work on the conception of a research project, this is not a restriction.

The service recording consists of three components:

1. individual examination of the subject area AI + ethics, proven by active participation in at least 80% of the reflection and discussion rounds
2. Development of an individual research project in interdisciplinary small groups, proven by submission of research questions, project idea and peer feedback
3. Description of an individual research project in interdisciplinary small groups, proven by submission of a project proposal and presentation of the project idea

Here, 1. and 2. are prerequisites for admission to the module examination, and the module grade for this seminar results from 3.

In the project seminar, the possibilities, risks and implications of using virtual reality in an educational context will be discussed. In addition to theoretical considerations, the focus is on the development of an own VR teaching/learning application. In the project seminar, the basic programming knowledge will be taught using the development environment Unity. Basic programming skills in a modern programming language are required.
