Wir freuen uns, dass wir Ihnen auch zum Sommersemester 2021 neue Lehrveranstaltungen vorstellen können. Neue Themen nehmen wir ins Programm, entweder aufgrund der Nachfrage der Studierenden, der Wünsche der Studiengangverantwortlichen, des Direktoriums und der Mitglieder der Qualitätskommission oder aber wir reagieren damit auf Anregungen und veränderte Anforderungen in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft.
Gerne stellen wir Ihnen die Neuen kurz vor:
5121 Grundlagen der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI)
Kaum jemand kann sich dem Einfluss von KI im täglichen Leben entziehen: ob Produktvorschläge beim Einkaufen oder Assistenzsysteme beim Autofahren – alles wird durch KI beeinflusst. Dazu werden Daten mittels KI-Algorithmen und unter Zuhilfenahme von Toolboxen maschinell verarbeitet und analysiert. Das birgt Herausforderungen, aber auch Risiken, die beim Einsatz von KI zu berücksichtigen sind. Ebenso spielen ethische Aspekte eine Rolle, sobald KI Einfluss auf gesellschaftsrelevante Entscheidungen nimmt.
4186 Critical Media Literacy (Lehrsprache Englisch)
As recent events around the globe show, the participatory culture of the internet is not only constructive and social but also misused and abused to turn the strengths of a free society into vulnerabilities, ultimately threatening civil rights and freedoms. Efforts to exploit technical, social, economic, and institutional configurations of media can catalyse social change, sow dissent, and challenge the stability of social institutions. Therefore, in the Digital Age, Critical Media Literacy is not an option anymore – it has become a mandatory skill for everyone using the internet. Living and working in our modern world, we are confronted with a constant stream of ‚alternative facts‘, propaganda, hoaxes, rumours, and advertising – while it becomes more and more difficult to distinguish fact from fiction to navigate the digital media world successfully. This course introduces you to how to interpret the enormous amounts of information we are exposed to every day, both in traditional media and online.
REFLECT: Going abroad. Your student exchange capstone module.
REFLECT: Going Abroad is a credit-bearing hybrid module that will help you navigate your expectations and experiences before, during and after your stay abroad. It is based on both self-guided and discussion-led reflective learning among participants. The module aims at raising your awareness for global responsible citizenship. REFLECT will form a capstone for your entire learning process associated with studying abroad.
With REFLECT, you will embark on a reflective learning journey before, throughout and beyond your study abroad. A facilitated (teacher-led) discourse – online via ILIAS and face-to-face – as well as direct exchange with fellow students will inspire you to interactively discuss, reflect and contextualize your experiences.
REFLECT is special: It will move your learning experience beyond intercultural communication or specific country-related topics. This module will not deal with mere organizational issues pertaining to going abroad. REFLECT will be offered for the first time in summer 2022.
In short: REFLECT will help you make your own way to become a reflective ambassador of your experiences and expectations as well as to understand and to engage with the idea of responsible global citizenship.
