Location & approach

By car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By plane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund Central Station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Research Projects of Educational and Differential Psychology at TU Dortmund University

Topic: FederleichtLernen - learning support in augmented reality with the aid of an intelligent sensor pen Subproject: Motivated learning from mistakes

icon of the Titel of an project report

The basis of the planned project is the learning environment in augmented reality, which uses a sensor pen to record data about the learning situation (e.g. pen movement, physical and physiological parameters). Based on the collected data, AI-supported hints for further learning of the students will be provided. The goal is to create an augmentation that does not distract from the actual learning task, but makes targeted suggestions for improvement when the AI recognizes that the students have problems solving the task, e.g. cannot solve it or can only solve it incorrectly. This ensures that the students can solve the tasks at their own pace, receive individualized feedback and, if necessary, are given tasks by the AI that correspond to the performance level of the students and specifically practice the problem areas that still exist. It is of particular importance that the students are not only told what they CANNOT do, but that they are also given feedback on what they can already do. Positive feedback is elementary for intrinsic motivation (see Weidinger, Spinath & Steinmayr). The feedback of the already existing competences should strengthen the intrinsic motivation of the students and avoid possible negative effects of the error feedback on the intrinsic motivation. Linked to the problem feedback, the students are presented with exercises that aim at solving their problems in an individualized way. In this way, the students learn that they can improve their problem areas through their own efforts and with a little effort. Both lead to an increase in achievement motivation (see Bergold & Steinmayr, 2016). Thus, motivational as well as didactic aspects are part of the focus in developing the functionality of the sensor pen.
