Head of the Leibniz Research Group Digitisation and Education
Marlit Lindner has been Professor for Digitisation and Education at the University of Tübingen since December 2022 and is head of the corresponding Leibniz Research Group at IWM. Together with her team, she focuses on various aspects to optimize the design of digital learning and testing environments in schools and higher education contexts with an emphasis on computer-based (formative) assessment and digital feedback from a cognitive and motivational psychological perspective. In her studies, she employs sophisticated experimental designs and process-oriented methods, such as micro-longitudinal within-subject measurements and analyses of processing times and eye tracking data. Furthermore, she is conducting research on exam didactics and potentials of different task formats in digital testing environments as well as the fundamentals for quality assurance of exams in the context of higher education.
Marlit Lindner studied psychology at the Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel, where she also graduated as PhD in psychology in 2016. Starting in June 2011 she worked at the Leibniz Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (IPN) in Kiel where she conducted research on cognitive and affective-motivational effects of multimedia test design, unmotivated response behavior, and computer-based feedback. Since 2019 she has been head of the Leibniz Junior Research Group COMET (Cognition and Motivation in Educational Testing, 01/2019-12/2023), for which she raised the funding in the Leibniz SAW competition. During this period, she also completed several extended research visits at ETS in Princeton and UCSB California in Santa Barbara.
