Comments/contents:
In partnership with the Education Department, the students will develop a SaaS solution that will support teachers in documenting lessons in the future. Based on possible concepts, a business model will be developed and a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) implemented. On the basis of "startup methods" such as design thinking and lean startup, the students will gain initial experience with established web services such as Amazon Web Services, IBM Watson and Google Cloud and understand common IT architectures for the first prototypical development of their own software-as-a-service solutions. In addition, influencing factors in the management of digital innovations (data privacy, license and price models, individualization, etc.) will be identified and analyzed. Preknowledge in the area of web development is helpful, but not a prerequisite for successful participation. The fundamentals and an insight into the current state of research will be provided in the introductory courses. This project is a cooperation project between the ITG working group, the innovation laboratory base.camp and students of educational science/teaching (under the direction of Prof. Dr. Van den Ham). 

Didactic concept:


  • We provide the necessary basics for qualitative empirical research, agile start-up methods, IT architectures and the management of digital innovations.
  • Apply design thinking as requirements analysis and creation of a wireframe/mockup
  • Implementation of an MVP based on the identified requirements and the mockup
  • Presentation and documentation of the results including possible extensions
