AI and Literacy for Non-Technical Students: A Hybrid-Augmented Learning Factory

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made a strong impact on business and private life. Nonetheless, understanding how AI works and which role data specifically plays in this context remain unclear for many people. We argue that especially students with non-technical backgrounds should build up AI & data literacy to understand the key concepts and leverage their potential in their field of study and research. For this purpose, we present the concept of a hybrid-augmented learning factory, where students can explore AI & data concepts with interactive and immersive technologies in a physical and virtual environment. In this workshop paper, we demonstrate our overarching idea of the hybrid-augmented learning factory as well as our current progress on implementing learning applications for the learning factory.
