3rd Roundtable Meeting

3rd Roundtable, Mainz, 14.-15. October 2024

Our third CORE Roundtable took place from October 14-15 at JGU in Mainz and brought together over 50 national and international experts to discuss our research on measuring Critical Online Reasoning in Higher Education and to plan the next stages in our collaboration. We all left feeling very inspired for the next steps in our research.

Coaching sessions and critical feedback for projects and working groups as along with several workshops on data analysis methods provided all CORE researchers with valuable guidance on further work and motivated our young researchers in the research group.

We look forward to all upcoming meetings and the joint publications in our exciting CORE!
