Creation of a subject-specific task pool based on two examples of the academic success projects OSA 3.0

Abstract

The group of prospective students is very heterogeneous in terms of knowledge and interests, so it is challenging to prepare the lecture material according to prior knowledge, to make practicals exciting or to offer adequate exam preparation. Ideas are also needed to present one's own elective module or to promote the specialisation itself. One solution could be a subject-specific assignment pool. The academic success project OSA 3.0, short for online-self-assessment, will be used to explain how knowledge levels can be ascertained and how interest can be aroused. The individual steps of the process are described in detail and the development of two tasks is shown as examples of these steps.
