Prof. Dr. Felix Schönbrodt ( @nicebread), LMU Open Science Center’s Managing Director, joined a workshop on “Instructional Design”, held by Antje Manske at the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (@zpid.bsky.social).

Here were some of the key topics:
- ADDIE, a framework for instructional design that stands for these five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.
- Agile Instructional Design, an iterative and learner-centered approach to creating materials that emphasize collaboration and continuous feedback.
- Bloom’s taxonomy, a framework that classifies observable knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors, and abilities into categories of learning goals.

These skills and themes will be applied to an agile course on Research Data Management 📊.

Workshops like this help us continuously improve how we teach Open Science and empower researchers through better learning design.

The LMU Open Science Center participated in the AI-Hub@LMU’s annual flagship event “KI-Symposium 2025” on November 10, 2025 💡 We presented a booth that invited visitors to reflect on key questions about the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) 🤖 and Open Science 🔍

Our booth encouraged dialogue around AI and how it affects Research Quality, Reproducible Research, and FAIR Data Sharing. Visitors were also interested in the following topics:

⚖️ Can we balance openness and large amounts of new information?
A participant expressed concern that Open Science would open the floodgates to an overwhelming amount of materials being shared. An important focus of open science should then be increasing the share of reliable science, emphasizing quality over quantity.

🧠 How can openness help us confront human biases?
Another discussion centered around human biases, such as the unconscious bias to interpret data in ways that confirm one’s hypothesis, and how Open Science tries to mitigate these biases.

🔒 Where do we draw the line between openness and privacy?
A discussion on ethics in AI brought up the challenging issue of sharing health data openly while protecting patient privacy. A question was raised about whether AI possesses agency and then what would concepts like responsibility and accountability for AI look like.

By sparking these conversations, we set out to explore how openness and AI can evolve together 🌍

"Excel is software to make pretty tables, it's no software to make data analyses." Starting the day with an interesting, but super frightening public lecture of the @lmu_osc #OpenScience Summer School on "Science as amateur software development" by Richard McElreath.
