About

Lars Michael Bollweg is a researcher at the intersection of educational technology and human-computer interaction, with a primary focus on enhancing scalability and engagement in digital learning environments. His most-cited work, "When Robots Talk - Improving the Scalability of Practical Assignments in MOOCs Using Chatbots" (2018), has garnered 9 citations and represents a key contribution to the field of massive open online courses (MOOCs). In this study, Bollweg explores how conversational agents—specifically chatbots—can automate personalized feedback and guidance for practical assignments, addressing a critical bottleneck in large-scale online education. By demonstrating that chatbots can effectively simulate tutor interactions, he provides a scalable solution that reduces instructor workload while maintaining learner support. This work has implications for the design of adaptive, AI-driven pedagogical tools. Bollweg’s research is notable for bridging theoretical frameworks in human-robot interaction with practical, deployable systems, offering a pathway toward more interactive and accessible MOOCs. His contributions are particularly relevant for educators and technologists seeking to balance quality and scale in digital education.
