nm - Khobreh

Marjan Khobreh is an assistant professor at the Institute of Information Systems and New Media. She obtained her Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Siegen, Germany. Her Ph.D. dissertation is entitled "Ontology Enhanced Representing and Reasoning of Job Specific Knowledge to Identify Skill Balance”. It basically focuses on developing an ontological knowledge-base for semantic bidirectional matching of the world of work (job-task) and the world of education (learning units). The entire approach has been used to develop multi-lingual online learning (software) platforms. Marjan has been involved in the management and coordination of several European and industry-funded IT and software engineering projects in the context of healthcare, competence management, and technology-enhanced learning.

Marjan is also the coordinator of " Cloud 6: Learning in Digital Era: Technology Enhanced Learning" at European Association for Practitioner Research on Improving Learning (EAPRIL). For more information please visit here. Read Marjan's EAPRIL Blog, here.
