    Design Science Research Academy

    Students and doctoral candidates in Information Systems (IS) are repeatedly confronted with the task of implementing theoretical concepts in practice and evaluating them with users during their studies or doctoral work. In doing so, they often lack the methodological skill set. This is exactly where Design Science Research (DSR) provides support. DSR offers an important paradigm for conducting applicable and rigorous research about real-world design problems. DSR aims to generate prescriptive knowledge about the design of IS artifacts, such as software, methods, models, or concepts. DSR is a promising methodology that intends to generate knowledge on the design of innovative solutions to real-world problems. As such, DSR is specifically useful in contributing to the solution of societally and practically relevant challenges. At the same time, matured methodological foundations are available today, specifically supporting publishing DSR research both at conferences and top-tier journals. DSR has become a permanent teaching component in many undergraduate and Ph.D. programs. The variety of materials, courses, and papers make it difficult to select high-quality materials. Thus, there is a lack of a uniform concept and a DSR curriculum. This is where we want to start with our project and create a well-thought-out DSR curriculum in the form of a “DSR Academy”. This project aims to address these challenges by proposing to build the DSR Academy that will provide high-quality course materials for DSR. The DSR Academy will consist of several modules consisting of three components: (1) interviews with iconic authors from DSR, (2) interactive learning videos for self-assessment, and (3) hands-on DSR projects that enable the transfer of acquired knowledge into practice. Thus, the DSR Academy can be easily integrated into face-to-face classes and represents a unique knowledge collection to accumulate knowledge around DSR and design knowledge generated in DSR projects and make it accessible to others.

    Innovative Weiterbildungskonzepte - Kompetenzturbo Digitalisierung

    The "Kompetenzturbo Digitalisierung" project aims to increase the use of the eGov-Campus and to test various learning formats, including digital, hybrid, in-person, synchronous, and asynchronous formats, for different user groups. The goal is to enable responsible staff in public authorities to introduce and effectively use digital learning formats in the context of professional development. The target groups of the project are personnel developers, training officers, and executives.

    SPP 1921 - Subproject: "Intentional Forgetting" in organisations: Forgetting confidently: Determinants and consequences of trustful usage of information systems in organizations

    Continuously increasing and changing amounts of data in modern organizations demand new information handling strategies. Effective knowledge management requires a flexible selection of essential information, for example, for decision processes under uncertainty or in dynamic economic markets. In this regard, information systems can reduce decision maker's cognitive load, emotional strain, and stress. However, for those positive effects to occur, persons need to use the information systems trustfully in order to forget "confidently". The goal of the present research project is to model and empirically examine the psychological processes underlying trustful use of information systems, enabling intentional forgetting.
