Research Seminar: Interactive and Gameful Information Systems (BA & MA)
Seats are limited. Register now via StudOn!
The research seminar Interactive and Gameful Information Systems provides theoretical, methodical, and practical insights into research in the fields of Information Systems and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). The seminar offers students the opportunity to work independently or in small groups on current research topics of the Gamification Research Group. Projects focus on topics such as gamification, augmented reality, virtual reality, metaverse, user experience design, human-robot interaction, content creation, social media, and serious games.
The seminar aims at teaching students to conduct qualitative and quantitative studies using statistical software, such as SPSS or SmartPLS. Students learn to independently plan and execute research as a preparation for a master thesis. In addition, students gain an understanding of the advantages and limitations of empirical research, as well as how to effectively communicate and critically evaluate scientific findings. This knowledge can prove valuable not only for pursuing an academic career, such as a doctoral program, but also for any role in public or private sectors that involves decision-making.
