DigiBound: New project promotes digital skills for students!
Today, July 1, 2025, the official starting signal was given for the innovative “DigiBound” project, which aims to develop boundary management skills in lower secondary school students. [uni-osnabrueck] reports that this project was launched by several institutions, including Aalen University and the Leibniz Information Center for Technology and Natural Sciences in Hanover.
The aim of “DigiBound” is to promote essential skills such as self-regulation, action control and decision-making, which are essential in an increasingly digitalized world. Given the interconnectedness of different areas of life, such skills are becoming more and more important.
Structure and implementation of the project
The project team has specialized in developing a training program that is based on competency-oriented teaching and learning formats. The planned training courses should be tested and scientifically evaluated before they are ultimately integrated into regular lessons. What is special about this approach is that the training is designed to be publicly accessible in order to enable as many children and young people as possible to participate.
The overall coordination of the project is in the hands of Prof. Dr. Karsten Müller from the University of Osnabrück. Those responsible for the project receive support from Prof. Dr. Michael Brinkmeier, who specializes in computer science didactics. Aalen University will play a key role in assessing needs and helping to shape the content.
Technological and didactic support
Another important partner in the project is the Technical Information Library (TIB) in Hanover. She will take on a crucial role in the implementation of media didactics and the production of digital learning formats. This ensures that the training is modern, engaging and effective.
In order to reach target groups such as students, teachers, school authorities and legal guardians, a comprehensive communication strategy is being considered. Digital roadshows, social media content and innovative formats are intended to make the project known in schools and inform the general public.

The extensive collaboration and synergies between the institutions involved promise a lot for the future of education in a digitalized society.
