Prof. Dr. Dietrich Albert
Prof. Dr. Dietrich Albert graduated from the University of Göttingen (Germany) with a degree in psychology. He received his Dr.rer.nat. and his postdoctoral degree (Habilitation in psychology) from the University of Marburg/Lahn (Germany). He was Professor of general experimental psychology at the University of Heidelberg (Germany). Currently he is professor emeritus of psychology at University of Graz, senior scientist at TUG, and key researcher at the Know-Center. His research topics cover several areas in experimental and cognitive psychology; his actual research focus is on knowledge and competence structures, their applications, and empirical research, and their integration with theories of motivation and emotion. He is (co-) editor of two books on knowledge structures (Springer Verlag & Lawrence Erlbaum Ass.). Currently he is the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Centre for Psychological Information and Documentation (ZPID), Germany, and a member of several scientific advisory boards. Relevant projects: Dietrich Albert‘s expertise in European R&D projects is documented by several successful projects including iClass, ELEKTRA, Target, ROLE, NEXT-TELL, ImREAL, and MedCAP. The focus of research within these projects has been on modelling knowledge and competence, on developing comprehensive knowledge representation frameworks and ontologies, and on their application in TEL for personalising learning paths and for adaptively assessing knowledge and competencies of learners.
