ABSTRACT
Over the last years the Learning Lab "Digital Technologies" has been developed as a growing platform for the education of digital technologies in the context of university teaching. It significantly increases the motivation and involvement of students through active and collaborative learning in combination with a haptic experience. Unfortunately, in the summer semester 2020 the concept of the haptic experience was suspended due to the corona pandemic and the associated online teaching.
In this article we will describe and evaluate how the concept can be adapted to the current situation and implemented online. With new workshops and an adapted online working method the Learning Lab "Digital Technologies" overcomes the physical distance. The conversion to constructivism in an online environment presented in the article shows the new possibilities, but also the challenges. Compared to physical workshops, the aspects constructive and emotional do not show clear trends, social interactions become less and the aspect of self-regulation decreases. Nevertheless, the aspects of activity and situation are increasing.
Using the example of the new virtual workshop "Data Management Foundation" (DMF) - design a solution for data management - based on the relational database Oracle Apex and a specific case "Second Chance", the procedure, bottlenecks, and positive results of the execution will be explained. This workshop is also accessible to the existing community which welcomes new lecturers and developers.
