Member of the e-teaching-Transfer Lab
Irina Brich works as a research associate at the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien in the section Research and Transfer on the Use of Digital Media in Teaching. In the transfer office of the BMBF-funded Kompetenzverbund lernen:digital, she is involved in the design of a future space on the lernen:digital platform. For this future space, science-communicative presentation formats for practice will be designed for innovative national and international projects and research results on digital transformation in school education. The future space aims to paint visions for digitally supported teaching and thereby generate interest in new technological and didactic developments.
In 2014, Irina Brich started her work in the scientific community at the IWM as a research associate and doctoral student and was working as a PostDoc in the Perception and Action lab from 2020 to 2023. During that time, she researched comprehension processes in visual narratives like comics, with a special interest in influencing factors like education and age, and the perception of risk in the interaction with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
Irina Brich graduated at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (M.Sc. 2014) with a focus on business psychology as well as knowledge, communication, and media psychology. She finished her dissertation at the University of Tübingen and the IWM in July 2020. In her dissertation project, she investigated with a multi-touch table how tailoring the interaction of human and technology to our cognitive architecture can improve information processing in group and individual situations.
