Welcome to the Totuba Labs, the new home for discussion of Totuba’s research and development activities. Totuba is a Shanghai-based start-up company that supports education ventures in China via its consulting services, the totuba.com course search and comparison website, the China Education Blog, and its research and development effort to improve educational tools and practices. Here in this blog, Carsten Ullrich, that is me, will keep you up-to-date about how we apply the latest research results here at Totuba to serve these goals.

I have over ten years experience in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with a focus on web-based learning. As a researcher at Saarland University and the German Research Center for AI (DFKI), I have worked on international projects and was a founding member of the ActiveMath group. Currently, I’m a researcher at the e-learning lab of Shanghai Jiao Tong University. There, I’m an involved in the European Project ROLE and working on mobile learning and active language learning.

Here at Totuba I am working on harnessing the potential of the Semantic Web for innovative learning services. More on that in the next posts.
