Abstract
The world of academic teaching is currently characterized by learning material in the form of books and lecture notes. Constantly renewing learning content, new concepts, and innovations require a new and more flexible knowledge base. Numerous initiatives in the e-learning area approach the issue through renewable digital content. Nevertheless, students in the fast changing VUCA (versatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world demand for innovative approaches that focus on imparting competencies in addition to traditional knowledge. This paper presents the concept and prototype of a new blended-learning approach to foster creativity and innovation: the “Method Cards”. We use the well-known format of traditional playing cards to create learning modules, e.g. representing trends, technologies, or methods. Additional content is linked through integrated NFC tags and QR codes. We additionally present the first results of two user studies conducted amongst Master students as well as in a business environment.
