Willkommen auf den Seiten des Lehrstuhls "Internet-Technologien und -Systeme" von Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel und seinem Team. Sie finden hier Informationen über unser Lehrangebot und unsere Forschungsaktivitäten in den Bereichen Security und Knowledge Engineering sowie Innovationsforschung.
Der Lehrstuhl von Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel bietet Lehrveranstaltungen in folgenden Bereichen an: Internet und Web-Technologien, (Diskrete) Mathematik und Logik, IT-Security und Internet Security, Komplexitätstheorie und Informationssicherheit sowie Design Thinking.
Im Fokus der Forschungen am Lehrstuhl von Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel zum Thema Knowledge Management und Engineering steht die Frage, wie aus den im Internet und anderen Quellen massenhaft zur Verfügung stehenden digitalen Daten, "Big Data", neues Wissen generiert werden kann.
In Security and Trust Engineering our research and development work is mainly focused on: Network & Internet Security, Cloud and SOA-Security (SOA - Service Oriented Architectures) and Security Awareness.
Aus den IT-technologischen Forschungen des Teams um Prof. Dr. Christoph Meinel im Bereich der Internet-Technologien und -System und der Innovationsforschung werden auch neue Ideen geboren für innovative Anwendungen und Systeme für das Internet der Zukunft.

This Research-to-Practice paper examines the practical application of various forms of collaborative learning in MOOCs. Since 2012, about 60 MOOCs in the wider context of Information Technology and Computer Science have been conducted on our self-developed MOOC platform. The platform is also used by several customers, who either run their own platform instances or use our white label platform. We, as well as some of our partners, have experimented with different approaches in collaborative learning in these courses. Based on the results of early experiments, surveys amongst our participants, and requests by our business partners we have integrated several options to offer forms of collaborative learning to the system. The results of our experiments are directly fed back to the platform development, allowing to fine tune existing and to add new tools where necessary. In the paper at hand, we discuss the benefits and disadvantages of decisions in the design of a MOOC with regard to the various forms of collaborative learning. While the focus of the paper at hand is on forms of large group collaboration, two types of small group collaboration on our platforms are briefly introduced.
