q1 i? Complying with research ethics norms and regulatory procedures proved so complex that a semester-long teaching plan rollout had to be postponed for a year, though the authors believe the efforts improved the system. → Alina Deriyeva 2025

q1 · i? · design · r1

Authors' retrospective account (type e) of their implementation experience: the "sheer complexity of the compliance efforts surprised us," and they advise anyone administering AI systems for education in an EU, particularly German, context to anticipate this additional effort.

"the roll-out of a semester-long teaching plan via the ITS had to be postponed for a year due to a need to find suitable procedures that comply with all regulations and ensure their approval by the respective committees."
