The article aims to outline how the quality of learning processes at German universities can be improved by technically combining different technologies and securing the data exchange between them. For this purpose, we describe the technical concept and the data cycle between different systems within the framework of developing a so-called Mentoring Workbench (MWB). We consider
this as a solution to combine the established infrastructures like learning management systems (LMS) with innovative applications and tools, which support individual and student-centred learning in a way that allows both university teachers and students to stick to their routines. Our paper serves as a proof of concept, and reflects on the didactical, technical as well as organisational aspects of implementing the prototype of a new educational technology in German higher education.
