Integrating AI Tools with Campus Infrastructure to Support the Life Cycle of Study Regulations #30
When implementing study regulations in student information systems, teachers’ intuitive ideas often differ from the later IT mapping. In this article, a rationalisation (both economic and psychological) of such processes is being pursued. The ultimate goal is an AI-based assistance system which provides support for the generation, validation, accreditation and use of study regulations. Advanced AI tools could support a wide range of business capabilities within curriculum design as identified in the Higher Education Reference Model (HERM). Further objectives of this approach are to increase the consistency of individual study planning with study regulations and to support study guidance.

Automatic and Interactive Validation of Study Regulations in Accreditation Processes of Higher Education Institutions #28
As digital workflows evolve around the curriculum life cycle in higher education institutions, advanced digital tools are needed to automate the processing of study regulations. In particular, the use of formal logic is beneficial for any type of validation in the accreditation process. Three key challenges are addressed in this paper: how to model study regulations, how to validate rules contained in modelled programmes, and how to package the contained logic of study rules in flexible communication between different AI services. This report on a case study demonstrates a solution that enables a continuous workflow from editing the rules to automated validation scenarios that support the administrative staff. The use of symbolic logic in conjunction with formal specification languages offers various forms of use cases within the curriculum life cycle.
