Wi.Fo!-Lab in the Wirtschafts.Forscher! programme

German-language link: https://www.wirtschafts-forscher.de/

The Wirtschafts.Forscher! programme gets teachers and students to deal with problems in the dynamic space where economics, ethics and digitalization meet. This occurs alongside face-to-face teaching through the specially designed virtual learning room, the Wi.Fo!-Lab, inside of which there are options to digitally process media processing and interact with other participants alongside the many other types of media available.

This way, the programme enables every teacher to implement an individual blended learning concept tailored to the class / group and, in addition, to go through research assignments by students.
