Informative, transparent and reflexive: The Practice Innovation Platform (PIP) as a companion in the student life cycle
12-01, 15:45–15:50 (Europe/Berlin), Stage 2, Einstein-Saal, BBAW

The university-wide platform is designed to digitally support students' practical experiences along the student life cycle. The aim is to develop suitable career perspectives. Information on internships is displayed transparently and the assessment of one's own abilities and attitudes is promoted by documenting and reflecting on one's own experiences. The low-threshold exchange with peers, alumni and potential employers is facilitated.


The Praxis Innovation Lab (PIL) is part of the h2d2 project "didactically and digitally competent teaching and learning" at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences. In the course of this project, a digital platform for teaching and learning support is being developed (Praxis Innovation Platform). This platform enables students to create practice experiences in their studies more easily and helps to implement them organizationally. Students reflect in E-Portfolios on their experiences and pass them on to other students. The needs and wishes of the students, teachers and employees of the university regarding the Praxis Innovation Platform as well as further steps in the project will be topic as well.
