Educational service engineering seeks to understand the means and ends of technology in education, both from a conceptual as well as a design science research perspective. It takes a holistic stand, as it incorporates didactica, economical and technical aspects. Knowledge from different interdisciplines, such as software and service engineering (information systems), as well as service management and service science are integrated.

We seek to continually improve our understanding of the educational ecosystem, as we develop new learning scenarios or novel tools for students and educators (see Fink et al. 2013). 

We tackle challenges for the educational sector, such as looking into future value offers from universities in the face of "life long learning" and their role in rapidly changing educational ecosystems (i.e., Rothe & Steier 2017, or listen to a Podcast in German from a speech at the Gabal group). As usage data from learners and educators gets more and more accessible, we set another focus on the design and imporvement of methods, instantiations, and concepts for a databased Educational Service Engineering (see Rothe et al. 2014, Weber & Rothe 2016, Rothe et al. 2016, Rothe 2016).
