[18/04/24] | With funding from the "DigiTeLL" project, the team at the Chair of e-Finance has developed the Eduvest web application. Eduvest is a digital, browser-based self-learning tool that imparts knowledge about investment decisions in securities trading in a playful way, depending on the user's previous knowledge. Eduvest aims to make digital financial education freely accessible to all and is intended to be used in teaching as an additional, asynchronous learning platform. In addition, considering the user's level of knowledge, Eduvest also offers the opportunity for people from outside the field to acquire knowledge about financial markets in a playful way. |
