11 Categories to Check the Usability of Your EdTec. Number 4 will Immerse Your Students

Are your digital teaching tools truly user-friendly? This workshop invites educators and technologists to dive into the world of usability and user experience (UX) in educational technology. Participants will explore a practical usability checklist developed by the CrossLab project, designed to evaluate and enhance learning tools—making them not only functional, but genuinely engaging for students.

📋 What to Expect:

• Understand key concepts of usability and UX in education
• Learn to apply a tested checklist to assess your own learning technologies
• Discuss real-world challenges and identify improvements to boost student engagement

🌐 The checklist—originally created for cross-reality labs—is open access and widely applicable across digital tools in higher education.

👨‍🏫 Facilitators:

• Marcus Soll, UX-certified researcher in educational technology, NORDAKADEMIE
• Louis Kobras, specialist in IT security and learning technologies, NORDAKADEMIE
• Prof. Dr. habil. Jan Haase, professor of computer engineering and Chair of IEEE EdSoc Germany Chapter, NORDAKADEMIE

Join us to rethink how students interact with your digital tools—and walk away with a ready-to-use method to make them more effective and engaging.

Let’s shape the future of engineering education—together!
