          Abstract

          The publication presents an overview of the use of digital human models (DHM) in academic education at five exemplary universities in Germany and Austria. In addition to the presentation of different human models, the integration of them into the respective lectures is discussed. The teaching concepts of the individual courses of the universities, exercise examples and scenarios are presented. Experience shows that the active and independent use of digital ergonomics tools gives students pleasure and motivates them to deal intensively with complex tasks in terms of time and content. Feedback is consistently positive over all the involved lectures and universities. As a consequence of the recent Covid-19 pandemic, universities significantly increased online and blended learning. Based on the experience with the use of digital human models, the paper derives recommendations for future developments.

          Practical Relevance

          To sustain global value chains, companies are increasingly planning trans-regionally adapted products and production processes. Tools for digital ergonomics contribute to increasing competitiveness by using prospective working methods. Companies increasingly need experts with the corresponding know-how. Firmly anchoring the topic of digital ergonomics in relevant subjects of university teaching is therefore a prerequisite for this transfer of trained graduates.

          Translated abstract

          Der vorliegende Artikel gibt einen Überblick über den Einsatz von digitalen Menschmodellen (DHM) in der akademischen Ausbildung an fünf beispielhaften Hochschulen in Deutschland und Österreich. Neben der Vorstellung verschiedener Menschmodelle wird deren Einbindung in die jeweiligen Lehrveranstaltungen diskutiert. Die Lehrkonzepte der einzelnen Studiengänge der Hochschulen, Übungsbeispiele und Szenarien werden vorgestellt. Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass die aktive und selbstständige Nutzung der digitalen Ergonomie-Tools den Studierenden Freude bereitet und sie motiviert, sich mit den zeitlich und inhaltlich komplexen Aufgabenstellungen intensiv auseinanderzusetzen. Die Rückmeldungen sind über alle beteiligten Lehrveranstaltungen und Hochschulen hinweg durchweg positiv. Als Folge der jüngsten Covid-19-Pandemie haben die Universitäten das Online- und Blended-Learning-Angebot erheblich ausgeweitet. Aus den Erfahrungen mit dem Einsatz digitaler Menschmodelle werden Empfehlungen für zukünftige Entwicklungen abgeleitet.
