rse-code-annotations - A Framework for Annotating Research Code

An open-source framework for annotating research code in empirical software-engineering studies, used in my corpus work on what research software a community actually produces. rse-code-annotations is MIT-licensed.

KODAQs Toolbox

At GESIS, I am responsible for developing a platform that consolidates open educational resources (OER) focused on data quality. The KODAQS TOOLBOX employs a sophisticated transformation pipeline, enabling OER to be created independently on GitHub using various technology stacks while preserving a cohesive look and feel across a unified website.

Delab - A Chatbot Research Environment for Online Deliberation

In Göttingen Valentin Gold and me developed a toolchain that can download live discussions on social media to be presented for human-in-the-loop coders. This allowed us to test different moderation strategies for the chatbot to improve social media discussion.

COMPBASE - A Generic Competency Database for Learning Organisations

While in Potsdam, I developed a pioneering concept on the persistence of learning outcomes and its applications. However, encountering challenges in mainstreaming the COMPBASE (not public) platform for testing, I redirected my thesis toward Inquiry-Based Learning.
