Teaching

Since 2002, I have been an associate lecturer at the University of Karlsruhe / Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and I have been coordinating and giving a lecture on Information Integration and Web Portals.

At Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences, I am currently teaching Knowledge & Competence Management and Technology Enhanced Learning as part of a master course in business information systems, and Enterprise Social Media, Mobile Business, and Modelling Information Systems in a bachelor course on business information systems.
