TUM Medical Training Center
At the Medical Training Centre (MTC), medical students at the Technical University of Munich train essential skills and abilities for their future contact with patients in a realistic learning environment under professional supervision. Realistic models and modern patient simulators are used. All training scenarios are recorded using a modern audio-video system and then debriefed in detail by the trained instructors. The clinical staff at the MRI also make regular use of this opportunity. To ensure the quality of the courses and check their effectiveness, the course modules are regularly accompanied by research projects.
ITüpferl
ITüpferl is an interactive laboratory, a research workshop and a museum at the same time. It is open to visitors from the Faculty of Computer Science. Whether for alumnus, industry partners, scientists or students - in the research workshop we present modern computer science research and projects. Scientists from the Department of Computer Science work on cutting-edge topics and show you applications and demonstrations from their research projects.

Tools & environments
RocketTutor
The RocketTutor is an intelligent AI-based tutoring system that helps students prepare for the math A-levels. The project has resulted in a start-up that continues to develop the tutor independently and sells it commercially. The original development and ongoing evaluation is done with the Chair of Mathematics Education at TUM.
ILVI App – Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Virtual Patient Management
ILVI (Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Virtual Patient Management) is a smartphone application for medical education that organizes students` learning experience from textbook knowledge to case-based learning. Our first module is tailored to teach medical students interdisciplinary diagnostic management in a resource-oriented setting
VR Public Speaking Training for Professionals
To improve public speaking abilities in an engaging and innovative way, we
explore the implementation and effectiveness of an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) platform that
centers around believable public speaking situations and audiences.
Robot Teaming for Leadership Training

voLeA
Focusing upon digital, video-based learning and testing environments, the project voLeA’s main research questions are which didactic strategies are most promising for fostering becoming physicians’ patient-communication competence and how this competence can be measured by means of a situational judgement test.
Exploring the World of AI
With "Exploring the World of AI," we developed a MOOC guided by constructionist learning
theory enabling everyone to learn about AI. The course is available in English and German and
has attracted 15.000+ learners since 2021.
Clearing House Unterricht
The Clearing House Unterricht sees itself as an interface between educational research and
educational practice and is aimed toward teachers and teacher educators in all phases of
teacher education. Our service offer includes current research findings prepared as short
reviews, podcasts, explanatory videos, and digital self-learning courses.
Clearing House Unterricht Academy
The Clearing House Unterricht Academy aims to enhance the ability of teacher educators to
competently engage with scientific evidence. By fostering both understanding and confident
utilization of research, we seek to pave the way for evidence-based teacher education and
ultimately evidence-based teaching practices. The support services and training opportunities
we provide are designed to seamlessly integrate scientifically prepared content with practical
application.
