Sharp Initiative
Simulation-based learning in higher education: Advancing research on process diagnostics and personalised interventions (SHARP)
The central goal of the Sharp Initiative is to identify conditions for the successful personalisation of learning with simulations in higher education and the derivation of design principles.
The following questions guide this research:
- What effects do the personalised design features of simulations – especially scaffolding and feedback – have on learning processes, as well as professional diagnostic and intervention skills?
- To what extent – and how – can learner characteristics and learning processes be utilised as foundations of personalisation?
- What are prerequisites on the part of university teachers and institutional preconditions for the effective use of personalised simulations in higher education?
