WEBVTT 00:00:05.330 --> 00:00:21.630 Geisenheim University is a new type of university, which means it combines the strengths of universities and colleges. 00:00:22.050 --> 00:00:28.140 The focus is on the green sector, for example wine and horticulture, logistics of meat products, 00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:32.100 food safety, beverages, technology and landscape architecture. 00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:37.800 The Department of University Didactics and Learning at Geisenheim University has existed since 2016. 00:00:38.250 --> 00:00:43.860 By 2019, a colleague and I were able to launch some interesting projects. 00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:48.990 And since 2009 we have had active support from another three colleagues, 00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:53.040 which were acquired for the university as part of the project. 00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:08.850 Plenty to Learn is a web-based app for recognizing and learning characteristic plant characteristics directly on the plants, 00:01:08.850 --> 00:01:14.310 i.e. in the vineyard, in customs or in one of our beautiful parks. 00:01:15.930 --> 00:01:21.840 We initially started the project with the breeding team, with Professor Dr. Schmidt and Nora Brockmann. 00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:29.010 The two of them had already done considerable preparatory work and already had a very concrete idea of ​​how Plenty could be integrated into teaching. 00:01:29.790 --> 00:01:36.239 The essential features were recorded by the two of them at over 70 themselves, the audios, 00:01:36.240 --> 00:01:41.970 supplemented with pictures and scientists, which is a very, very remarkable achievement. 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:48.870 The main tasks of the Institute for Breeding are to maintain the breeding of traditional grape varieties, 00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:55.320 but also historical grape varieties in the genetic collection of wild species, videos, species. 00:01:55.410 --> 00:02:01.920 Especially for the rootstock breeding here the focus is on phylloxera, resistance, drugs, tolerance and, above all, no tolerance, 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:08.400 Because this will certainly be something that concerns us for a long time in the future due to climate change. 00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:15.960 The actual goal of this app was for students to be able to go to the vineyard on their own, regardless of time. 00:02:15.980 --> 00:02:21.050 Can you really learn the learning objectives there and check them yourself? 00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:27.990 That was a very important story and, regardless of the technological development stage, they are then able to 00:02:28.410 --> 00:02:32.820 Get to know the important parts of the graphics in the vineyard itself. 00:02:33.750 --> 00:02:39.420 Using this QR code, students can access all the information. 00:02:39.690 --> 00:02:48.509 And what is crucial is that the audio allows the student's eyes to stay directly on the object. 00:02:48.510 --> 00:02:53.700 And he basically gets the text spoken in his ear. That is one of the important things in this app. 00:02:54.870 --> 00:03:02.940 We believe that by giving students a really good tool that can significantly increase their enjoyment of learning. 00:03:11.930 --> 00:03:20.660 Based on a modular system, a type of framework called Solid, which was developed by a team at Frankfurt University. 00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:27.889 Yes, the cooperation with Geisenheim actually came about as a result of some colleagues 00:03:27.890 --> 00:03:33.470 and colleagues since the time of my diploma thesis and know this information, 00:03:33.470 --> 00:03:44.330 The fact that we have something in Frankfurt that might be interesting for Geisenheim then found its way to Caro Richard in an ominous detour, 00:03:44.810 --> 00:03:52.370 who in turn had already worked with my colleague, Bertram Bühne in Frankfurt, with whom I shared the office. 00:03:52.370 --> 00:04:01.880 And so a cooperation was slowly developed that has been very successful to date and will hopefully continue to be successful. 00:04:02.990 --> 00:04:07.940 This cooperation in the Lahn project fit very well into something 00:04:07.940 --> 00:04:12.530 something we had been developing in Frankfurt for some time, namely the app construction kit. 00:04:12.530 --> 00:04:16.760 Solid target. It stands for systematic object learning and identification. 00:04:17.570 --> 00:04:24.290 This is a platform that contains various objects, which of course are also learning objects in the context. 00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:28.880 includes and which can be mapped with properties. 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:35.509 And the whole thing arose from the idea of ​​a professor from the geosciences who was confronted with the problem, 00:04:35.510 --> 00:04:42.380 that students have to identify a lot of minerals, sometimes in the exam and were often very bad at it. 00:04:42.390 --> 00:04:46.580 And then he had the idea: we need a good one and an application, 00:04:46.580 --> 00:04:53.960 which gives students the opportunity to actually practice these properties on the virtual object. 00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:57.500 And then we started implementing that. 00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:05.390 And at some point I said something about it and then the idea quickly came up that we should implement a project, 00:05:05.780 --> 00:05:13.010 where we simply stuff plants into this application instead of minerals and can then display plant profiles. 00:05:13.250 --> 00:05:18.830 And then it came at just the right time that we were able to develop Plenty to learn together with the Geisenheim University of Applied Sciences. 00:05:28.700 --> 00:05:33.620 It was clear from the start that we didn't just want to use it for one plant genera, 00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:37.910 but that we want to offer it as far as possible across universities and courses. 00:05:38.210 --> 00:05:44.840 And that's why we're now moving on to the vines, the trees and perennials and later the pots and ornamental plants. 00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:52.880 A major hurdle in the transfer lies in the different design of the profiles between the plant genera and the other plant genera. 00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:56.240 This required a significant renovation of the pool. 00:05:58.280 --> 00:06:05.090 The shape and knowledge of trees or perennials is very important in horticulture and landscape architecture courses. 00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:09.110 Will also be required and desired later in the job and in practice. 00:06:09.350 --> 00:06:13.780 And one of the two training centers, as you could say, is our arboretum. 00:06:13.790 --> 00:06:19.550 Of course, we also have two parks where the trees can be learned about and shown in their larger form. 00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:29.270 And as I said, we have around 150 trees here in the forum and can also use them in perspective. 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:36.919 Plenty to learn is very interesting for us because we have students with different requirements. 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:43.070 This means that we have students, some of whom already have horticultural training, who already know trees and perennials. 00:06:43.430 --> 00:06:49.640 But we also have students who are practically fresh out of school and have had little contact with trees or perennials. 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:51.680 And this is exactly where we see the strength, 00:06:51.680 --> 00:07:01.220 to take these very heterogeneous groups with them through the didactic use of platitudes and to be able to support them individually. 00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:08.810 Plenty is a cross-departmental tool that makes the content of the different departments easier for students to learn. 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:18.230 Another advantage of Plenty is that for any type of previous knowledge, whether with training or without training, 00:07:18.410 --> 00:07:25.160 There is enough depth of detail to enable self-determined and equal learning. 00:07:32.870 --> 00:07:37.219 When we have added all the plants, genera and implants, we can also imagine 00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:43.010 to use the app for other content, for example for insects, i.e. beneficial insects and pests. 00:07:43.460 --> 00:07:47.390 But we can also imagine supplementing the app with other formats, 00:07:47.390 --> 00:07:53.840 for example real GPS navigation in the parks or augmented reality content.
