Data from digital learning environments as well as information and communication technologies can be used and analysed automatically and with a high degree of variety and granularity. When data is used to support teaching and learning processes, the term „learning analytics“ is often used.
In this course, concrete learning analytics dashboards will be analysed, interpreted and designed by students. Based on current research, aspects relevant to the use of learning analytics will be discussed in detail; possible challenges in the implementation and use of analytics will be identified; and examples of a wide variety of visualisations and dashboards will be collected, presented and interpreted. One focus will be on the use of such dashboards in the school context. Students will work their way through different steps, e.g. developing, discussing and evaluating pen-and-paper prototypes, creating wireframes and analysing real dashboards. The knowledge gained throughout the course will be used to design (i.e. conceptualise, not program) a dashboard.
The course will be conducted in English. All literature will be announced and distributed during the course (and will be in English as well).

It presents the challenges that museums today face in regard with providing access to diverse publics, forming meaningful and rich learning experiences, and engaging their audiences. What do people when they visit museums, and how their practices are connected to learning? How can museums contribute to different communities? We will focus on visitors’ behavior, identity, and motivation, as well as possible barriers to engagement and learning. The seminar also touches upon participatory practices and digital tools adopted by museums. Through reading and discussing texts, as well as critically analysing empirical cases, we will explore how learning in embedded in social processes in museums and how research and evaluation can inform museum activities. | | Active participation during group discussions and submitting the assignments for classes | 2 | 15 | 30 | |

studies and explores its relevance for the sociology of education.
Following the work of Michel Foucault and others, in this seminar we
understand education as a practice of „creating kinds of people“
(Popkewitz) and as a technology of governing these kinds of people
according to (historically changing) societal conditions and ideals. In
this sense, we understand the task of sociology of education as to
reconstruct such technologies of government, forms of subjectivation and
its effects in the field of education. This reconstruction includes
educational research itself, which is not understood as neutral observer
of these practices, but as an actor involved in them. The seminar consist of two parts: In the first part, we
discuss the most important theoretical foundations and concepts of
governmentality studies. In the second part, we discuss this perspective based on examples of concrete
forms of subjectivation currently prevalent in the field of educational
practice and research (e.g. the ‚enterprising self‘, the ‚integrated
Muslim‘, the ‚eco-certified child‘, the ‚promising student‘). We analyse
the assumptions, normativities and including and excluding effects of
these forms of subjectivation and discuss implications for educational practice. A focus will be on issues related to diversity,
discrimination and privilege. | | Presentation and moderation of a seminar session (in groups), essay (10-12 pages) | 5 | 10 | 30 | |

In the British empire the sun (almost) never set; industry and trade flourished; men were real men, women real angels and queen Victoria the epitome of respectability and earnestness. Some people, however, questioned the importance of being earnest. Even more criticised the price that had to be paid for prosperity and dynamics. As not only Marx and Engels pointed out, the working conditions in the factories and living conditions in industrial cities were far from satisfactory. Women, people without property or with the wrong religion were excluded from political participation. Illicit sexuality was both immensely popular and severely policed. The aim of the lecture course is to give a survey of the most important trends in British 19th-century culture, covering developments in history, politics, literature and the arts. The discourses of progress and stability will be juxtaposed with dissenting voices undermining the norms by pointing out their flaws and paradoxes. On the meta-level, the lecture course will also be paradoxical, combining old and new: it will be a conventional, post-COVID-19, weekly, on campus, face-to-face course with elaborate online components (the details of which will be presented and discussed in the first session). It will be credited on a pass/fail basis. | | BA: Assessment/requirements: passing the weekly online quizzes.

During the second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century the way societies viewed themselves changed. With the rise of nationalism came a remarkably biological view of human groups, that was inspired by half-understood advances made in biology at roughly the same time. The desire to categorise people in a small number of races, and to delineate belonging to a nation or state in terms of heredity, led to tremendous changes. It contributed greatly to some of the most gruesome acts of violence and genocide the world has ever seen. But is also inspired innovations in food policy, maternal healthcare and the rise of the welfare state.
In this course, we will unpick the ways in which "biopower" (the term was invented by Michel Foucault) created much of the modern world, as well as many aspects of our current societies.
Learning goals
This course aims to introduce students to era(s) of high imperialsim and total war through the spectre of biologically-inspired ideology and policy. In each lectuire, we will discuss an aspect of biopower at work. As we do so, students will be trained in reading academic papers, improve their writing, and be forced to think about methodology a great deal.

The seminar will be completely held in English. It has three
parts: In the first part, we read and discuss theories of self and
self-consciousness including Daniel Dennett’s theory of the narrative
self, Thomas Metzinger’s no-self theory and the pattern theory of self
(Shaun Gallagher; Albert Newen). In the second part the focus will shift
to the role of narrative self in memory. Central questions are: how is
the self shaped by our memories of past events, on the one hand, and how
is self influencing how I recall a past episode, on the other hand? We
need to discuss recent theories of self-memory-systems, also inspired by
psychological theories. In the third part we will discuss the relation
between self-understanding and understanding others. Thus, we will
discuss theories of how we understand other human beings (Simulation
Theory, Theory Theory, Interaction Theory; Person Model Theory). This is
the background to read recent articles about the question to which
degree our strategies of understanding others is not only used in the
case of understanding human interaction partners but also to understand
the behavior of AI systems. | | regular participation, delivering a presentation of 20 minutes of one text or writing an essay about it | 4 or 6 | 4 | 30 | |

The Blockseminar focuses on the contemporary discussion on the state of European democracies and the emergence of the so-called "i-liberal" models in the continent, with particular emphasis on the political instrumentalization of religious belongings/narratives or misleading theologies for populist purposes. The phenomenon will be studied from a multidisciplinary perspective, which includes outlooks and developments from knowledge fields such as Social Studies, Political Studies, Theology, or Religious Studies. Students and lecturers from related fields are invited to join. With specific stress on research abilities and capacities, students will also be introduced to the use of methods and techniques of social research such as analysis of (political) speech, analysis of Media (political) content, or the analysis of social/political movements. On the break between the first block (20th – 21st of October) and the second block (12th – 13th of January), with the close assistance of the faculty, students will develop group single-or-multisite research on specific political/religious topics. In the second block, the groups will present and discuss their finding in the plenary.
| Because the seminar aims to introduce students to social research, no previous research experience or knowledge in the matter is required.
English proficiency B2
| Students will attend the studying sessions, work in groups and present their results during the second block. Those interested in extra credits will be able to write an optional individual seminar paper according to the requirements of each faculty.

Exam: Oral exams via Zoom, appointment with lecturer (January - March 2024) | | 13/10/2023 | Prof. Dr. Burkhard Niederhoff | This lecture will provide an introduction to one of the most brilliant episodes in the history of English comedy: the four or five decades after the Restoration of the monarchy (and the theatre) in 1660. There will be some emphasis on how closely the plays are entangled with the values, customs, institutions and politics of the period – Charles II, the recently restored king, for instance, was a fan of comedy and a frequent member of the audience. The following topics will be discussed: the genre of comedy and how it developed after 1660; the language of the plays, in particular the devices that constitute the contemporary ideal of wit; the conflict between “Whigs” and “Tories” and how it was represented on the stage; the theatre as an institution, including actors, audiences, ticket prices etc.; gender roles and the double standard in sexual morality; the softening of attitudes and the turn towards sentimental comedy around 1700; and the subsequent vilification of Restoration comedy as immoral and obscene that has had a profound impact on the criticism of the plays and their stage history. Students will have to read William Wycherley’s The Country Wife as well as excerpts from other plays and texts. The lecture will be given in a series of videocasts, ideally available well in advance, and there will be a number of Zoom meetings giving students the opportunity to ask questions.

The life of the city dweller, in particular in Europe, became economically, socially and economically dominant. This course orientates on the major transformations:
- Urbanization, the growth of cities and the shaping of the modern global city
- The port city as specific city (second city, shock city) and its relationship to the global city
- The planned modern city and ideal models on urban planning
- Cities as places of migration and superdiversity
- Urban visual culture, urban icons and the mediatisation of the city
- Urban heritage, public history and the role of the city museum
Rotterdam, originally one of the many typical Dutch commercial medieval cities, showed a spectacular growth in the 19th century. Rotterdam became the working city of the Randstad conurbation and turned into a world port after the Second World War. The modern urban history of Rotterdam – considered to be the most dynamic city of the Dutch metropolis since 1850 – is used as a case study to discuss the impact of 19th and 20th century urban transformations.
Learning goals
Cities have played a significant role in the transformation of the world and today a majority of the world population lives in cities. Many scholars relate this urban revolution to a new round of globalisation. However, globalisation is a much longer-term historical process. This course focuses on 19th and 20th century's urban transformation and gives an introduction on global urban history, using Rotterdam as a case study.

Digital media affects many tasks in organizational life. The communication with both clients and colleagues is dominated by e-mail communication either handled from a personal computer or on the move by using mobile devices. This not only affects the work domain, but also the home domain since many employees stay connected (24/7 availability) to their work even during leisure time.
Virtual teams support international collaborations with the direct consequence that expert input in projects has become time and place independent. The globalization has encouraged this development, in that new media have made the access to talent and knowledge more attainable and financially affordable. This also demands for new leadership styles that are adapted to the increased physical distance and mediated communication between leader and followers.
Finally, when an employee decides it is time to make a next move on the labor market the chances that a webcam test is part of the selection procedure is significant. Companies try to make their selections methods more objective by using serious games as a selection tool as well. Online assessments have become part of the selection procedure and the chances that you really make a first impression during your job interview have decreased dramatically.
In other words, the impact of digital media on organizational life is evident and goes beyond simply facilitating our work. The new innovations in technology have really changed the way we work.
Learning goals
At the end of this course, the student…
1. has profound knowledge in the domains of how communication technology changed our work-home interface;
2. has profound knowledge in the domain of mediated collaboration in virtual teams;
3. has profound knowledge on the impact of social media and personnel selection and gamification in online assessments;
4. realizes the importance of empirical evidence for effectiveness of all constructs that are common practice in the work field;
5. has developed a meta-cognitive view on the topics included in this course and is able to critically read and integrate the literature;
6. is able to apply the theoretical concepts discussed in this course to issues in the workplace. This can result in a theoretically funded advise for organizations;
7. knows how to evaluate claims made in popular press and realizes that empirically sound is not the same as valuable in practice and vice versa.

In 1904, Richard Semon introduced the term "engram" to describe the neural substrate for storing memories in the brain. According to this view, an experience engages a subset of cells that undergo off-line, persistent chemical and/or physical changes to form a long-lasting representation of this experience. Reactivation of the very same set of neurons is supposed to induce memory retrieval. Semon's contributions were largely ignored during his lifetime. However, new technological and methodological advances allow the study of memory reprsentations with an unprecedented level of detail? However, it is still debated what excatly constitutes a memory representation, how they allow the formation of large sets of interconnected knowledge, how the brain solves the stability-plasticity trade-off, and how memory representations actually guide adaptive behavior in an ever-changing environment. The present discurs will target the core question by discussing seminal ideas about how memories are formed, maintained and potentially forgotten in neural networks, like the human brain. The literature based work will be accompanied by discussions of talks delivered by leading experts in the field.

anatomical and functional structures of higher nervous systems. The questions and methods used in researching the nervous system are correspondingly broad.
Several chairs and working groups at the faculty have set themselves the goal of dealing with such questions and will present them in the lecture. Since the
lecture lasts 2 semesters, the speakers also have the opportunity to present topics that cannot otherwise be covered in the course at the RUB and offer at least a
brief insight into other areas of work. The students learn basic knowledge about different areas of neurobiology in English and can reproduce and explain it.
