Here, students learn how to use AI to create videos and courses and integrate e-learning content into authoring tools.
In the third semester, students work on practice-oriented projects, in which they apply the skills they have acquired and develop their own AI applications. At the same time, they deepen their knowledge in the areas of knowledge management implementation, project management and knowledge organisation. In the fourth semester, they concentrate on their Master's thesis, in which they use AI in a targeted manner to efficiently process scientific issues and develop innovative solutions.
