Research and Publications

We present in our AMLE paper "Ladders for Learning: Is Scaffolding the Key to Teaching Problem-Solving in Technology-Mediated Learning Contexts?" insights on how scaffolding helps to manage cognitive load in online learning phases of flipped classrooms and how scaffolding contributes to better problem-solving performance of students.
Our EJIS paper "Capturing the complexity of gamification elements" provides taxonomy for the gamification of information systems. By providing a holistic taxonomy approach, we present novel insights for analysing existing and deriving novel gamification designs.
In our JAIS paper "The Role of AI-Based Artifacts’ Voice Capabilities for Agency Attribution" we theorize about how conversational capabilities obscure our understanding of conversational AI's "true" intelligence, i.e., how competent, autonomous, and smart conversational AI actually is.
Our JIT paper "Process is King: Evaluating the Performance of Technology-mediated Learning in Vocational Software Training" provides novel insights for research and practice considered with blended learning. We provide a holistic model to evaluate the performance of blended learning trainings and empirical insights for the importance of learning processes.

Dr. Andreas Janson works since 2013 in third-party funded research projects and acquired since this several third-party funded projects related to basic research as well as applied research. He acquired projects with a budget of approximately CHF 3.7mio (own funding approximately CHF 2.1mio) from funding agencies such as the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), Innosuisse, German Research Fundation (DFG) and Federal Ministry of Education and Research of Germany (BMBF) as well as University funds such as the Basic Research Fund (GFF) from the University of St.Gallen. His research projects have gained wide outreach and have been featured in the media such as newspapers or tech-magazines (e.g., article on the project nudger in the renowned German magazine heise iX).

His research especially focus on the understanding and design of digital services in various application contexts.
