Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This lecture exclusively takes place on site.Starting with the basics and different kinds of language technologies, this lecture addresses technologies particularly relevant for the field of transcultural communication as well as recent state-of-the-art developments, such as generative language models and their advantages, disadvantages, and risks. In terms of information and interface design, the focus will be on the fundamentals, including usability as well as target group-oriented and interactive design of media and information. Finally, the basics of information management will be introduced.Students of this lecture should finally be able to use and select language technologies for their professional communication needs and have gathered first insights into the technical foundations of such technologies. Additionally, students will be in the position to evaluate and assess information designs and provide recommendations for their improvements. Participating students should also be able to differentiate and assess distinct information sources within the area of transcultural communication, such as language resources. To this overall end, this lecture provides theoretical and practical, interactive contents as well as bonus exercises.
