For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
Students acquire basic competencies around human-machine interaction. For example, knowledge in the areas of language processing, cognitive and social mechanisms of interaction, dialogue theory, etc. is acquired. After completing the module, students have acquired the basic competence to analyze multimodal interactive or communicative behavior (e.g. language, emotions, non-verbal behavior, coordinated action) and to develop interactive social agents based on this. The module is suitable for supplementing special missing basic competencies in interaction technology.
The module provides basic knowledge that is necessary for the development of interactive human-machine systems. The teaching content of the module includes fundamentals in the areas of brain-machine interfaces, social and collaborative robotics, intelligent assistance systems, dialogue systems, and conversational agents, natural language processing, multimodal behavior processing, explainable AI, dialogue theories, and cognitive mechanisms of social interaction. The courses chosen by the student determine the specific teaching content of the module. The choice from the range of courses designated for this purpose is based on personal interest.

The following combinations of courses from the area of Basics Interaction Technology can be studied alternatively:
Module structure: 1 uPr 1
To study together with the corresponding exercise and alternatively with the lecture with exercise, each from the field of Basics of Interaction Technology.
To study together with a corresponding exercise and alternatively with the seminar with exercise, each from the field of Basics of Interaction Technology.
Upon Completion of the Module with Seminar + Exercise
Portfolio with final examination consisting of:
1) Portfolio of exercises related to the content of the seminar
Exercise tasks or programming tasks that are assigned in relation to the course (passing threshold: 50% of the achievable points). The assessment of the exercise tasks also includes direct questions regarding the solutions that must be answered by the students during the exercises. The instructor may require an individual explanation and demonstration of tasks and can replace a portion of the exercise tasks with in-person exercises. The exercise tasks within the portfolio are generally assigned weekly and serve to support the independent learning of implementations of the content presented in the seminar/lecture. Further specification, particularly regarding the time frame of the final examination, will be provided in the course description.
2) A final examination for the seminar
The final examination regarding the content of the seminar refers to the exercise or programming tasks or develops from the competencies learned in the exercises.
Seminar: Presentation (lasting 30–40 minutes) with written report (5–10 pages)
Students present, after coordinating the specific task with the examiner, the significance and systematic-scientific classification of a problem addressed in the seminar and explain and present their topic in writing in their report, incorporating aspects from the discussion in the seminar. The task may also include the elaboration of an application (i.e., programming/calculation, etc.) of a method to a typically practically significant individual case. The presentation with report refers to the content conveyed in the seminar and developed in the exercises.
Both portfolio elements will be assessed by an examiner. A final overall assessment will be provided.

Further specification, particularly regarding the time frame of the final examination, will be provided in the course description.
2) A final examination for the lecture
The final examination regarding the content of the lecture refers to the exercise or programming tasks or develops from the competencies learned in the exercises.
Lecture: Final exam (lasting 90-120 minutes) or oral final examination (lasting 20-30 minutes) covering the content conveyed in the lecture and developed in the exercises.
The exam can alternatively be conducted as an e-exam, open book exam, or e-open book exam. In the case of open book and e-open book exams, the duration is 120-150 minutes.
Both portfolio elements will be assessed by an examiner. A final overall assessment will be provided.
