WG 6 – Empowerment & Stakeholders

What is it about?

AI systems are changing the way teaching and learning take place at universities – and doing so at high speed. The Working Group (WG) 6 is tasked with actively involving all status groups at Hamburg University of Technology in this transformation: students, teaching staff and administrative staff.

To this end, WG 6 systematically assesses the needs, competencies and attitudes in the different groups regarding the use of AI tools in studying and teaching. On this basis, target-group-specific communication and training opportunities are developed. In addition, WG 6 promotes exchange with partners within and outside Hamburg University of Technology.

Objectives & Approach

The work of WG 6 is divided into three consecutive phases: Phase 1 surveys needs regarding a Hamburg University of Technology-specific AI among students, teaching staff and administrative staff in separate surveys. Phase 2 develops a communication strategy. Phase 3 is dedicated to piloting initial empowerment services. All status groups are involved participatively in all three phases.

Phase 1: Survey
  • Develop target-group-specific questionnaires (quantitative and qualitative)
  • Conduct an online survey for all three status groups
  • Conduct in-depth interviews / focus groups for each status group
  • Evaluate and communicate results
Phase 2: Communication
  • Define communication strategy
  • Establish communication channel
  • Communicate results internally
  • Create initial information materials
Phase 3: Empowerment
  • Identify content and formats for different competence levels
  • Pilot initial service formats
  • Gather feedback and refine services
  • Plan formats for 2027
