Hypercode Goes to University: Web Technologies, UX and Web Analytics at Media University

Teaching starts again next week, and so does our managing director and co-founder Stefan Grund’s third seminar at the Media University of Applied Sciences in Cologne, formerly HMKW University of Applied Sciences for Media, Communication and Business.

Stefan presenting his Web Technologies seminar, alongside two lecture slides, including a quote by Tim Berners-Lee.

Since the summer semester of 2023, Stefan has been teaching “Web Technologies” and “User Experience & Web Analytics” on the BA Digital Marketing and E-Commerce program, led by Prof. Dr. Klaus Kuenen.

In summer 2023, Stefan and fellow lecturer Guido Syré took students through the development of web technology, from ARPANET and Web 2.0 to Web3 and distributed ledger technologies, alongside the business models behind them. Working with diffferent, the students created a digital business model and concepts for an app and website for an educational publisher. The results were excellent.

For “User Experience & Web Analytics” in the winter semester of 2023/24, our colleague Michael Schulze joined us to cover tracking and analysis. We combined UX design with practical insights, and the students worked with our long-standing client chargecloud to plan an application in the growing field of e-mobility.

This semester, Stefan is looking forward to teaching “Web Technologies” with Prof. Dr. Boris Becker and meeting the new group of students.
