About
Nikol Rummel is a Professor at Ruhr-Universität Bochum, specializing in Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), Artificial Intelligence in Education, and Human-Computer Interaction. Her work bridges educational technology with hardware reverse engineering, focusing on AI-orchestrated learning environments and adaptive tools for collaboration.
Her research spans AI-orchestration tools (Pair-Up, Co-Designing Orchestration Support), collaborative problem-solving (Learning Alone or Together), and hardware reverse engineering education (Promoting Skill Acquisition). She investigates how multimodal data and adaptive feedback enhance learning outcomes, teacher practices, and emotional regulation.
Her publications highlight trends in generative AI for academic writing, collaboration scripts, and cognitive obfuscation in cybersecurity education. Collaborations with researchers like Vincent Aleven, Christof Paar, and Steffen Becker underscore her interdisciplinary approach.
Nikol Rummel’s work emphasizes teacher dashboards (What Information Should CSCL Dashboards Provide?), dynamic student pairing (Combining Dialog Acts and Skill Modeling), and emotional engagement in learning (How to Enjoy Writing Papers).
