[publication] The Analysis of Learning Management System towards Students’ Cognitive Learning Outcome #tugraz #researg

Our article titled “The Analysis of Learning Management System towards Students’ Cognitive Learning Outcome” got published in the Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET).

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation of the moodle and edmodo learning management system (LMS) in education, to identify the specific features of the LMS that were utilized in the learning process, and to assess the impact of the LMS on student learning outcomes, drawing on cognitive learning theory. The research method is a systematic literature review (SLR) using the Scopus and Taylor & Francis databases, guided by the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses) protocol, to analyze the data. The validity of the study was tested using the Gregory test with four expert examiners, namely an SLR expert, an LMS expert, and experts in cognitive learning outcomes. The results of the electronic database search focused on articles related to LMS implementation, LMS features, and student cognitive learning outcomes. This systematic literature review identified four key stages that serve as indicators of LMS implementation: 1) introduction, 2) registration, 3) learning materials, and 4) evaluation (assessment or feedback). The LMS features used in learning are grouped into four sections: communication features, course content features, course delivery features, and assignment features. The findings of the literature review indicate that the implementation of LMS and the features utilized in the learning process have an impact on various aspects of learning. These include learning satisfaction, engagement, learning experience, comfort, effectiveness, motivation, and the improvement of student learning outcomes.

[publication] Die Wirkung von MOOCs und iMooX.at aus Sicht von Kursersteller:innen #zfhe #tugraz #research #imoox #mooc

Im Rahmen der Sonderausgabe zu Digitalisierung der Hochschullehre – Projekte österreichischer Hochschulen 2020–2024 haben wir einen Beitrag über iMooX.at erstellt mit dem Titel “Die Wirkung von MOOCs und iMooX.at aus Sicht von Kursersteller:innen”

Zusammenfassung:
iMooX.at wird im Rahmen des Projekts „MooX – Die MOOC-Plattform als Service für alle österreichischen Universitäten“ (2020–2023) als nationale Plattform für Hochschulen ausgebaut. Im Beitrag werden bisherige Ergebnisse und Wirkungen des Projekts dargestellt. So wurden bereits 70 MOOCs durchgeführt (geplant waren 33). In problemzentrierten Interviews mit fünf Kursersteller:innen wurden zudem Wirkungen von MOOCs und iMooX.at als Plattform gesammelt. Kursersteller:innen bestätigen in einer Online-Befragung (n=17) im hohen Maße, dass iMooX.at zur Verbreitung von OER beiträgt und positive Wirkungen für unterschiedliche Gruppen hat.

[publication] Digital Transformation of Teaching and Perception at TU Graz from the Students’ Perspective: Developments from the Last 17 Years #tugraz #education

Our chapter on “Digital Transformation of Teaching and Perception at TU Graz from the Students’ Perspective: Developments from the Last 17 Years” we presented last year at ICL-conference is now online available:

The use of digital technologies in teaching to make it more varied, better, more diverse, or even more accessible is being pursued systematically at many universities. This article shows the developments in the digital transformation of teaching at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) over the last 17 years. In the process, the various activities of Graz University of Technology and of the central department of teaching and learning technologies about the digital transformation of teaching and its focus and change during this period are described in the form of a workshop report. The consequences and developments of the Covid-19 pandemic on digital transformation efforts are also addressed. This is contrasted with results of two students’ surveys from 2014 (N = 1,502 complete questionnaires) and 2021 (N = 1,386 complete questionnaires). Within this contribution, the authors use the survey’s data to assess how students’ attitudes towards technology-enhanced teaching were changing at TU Graz. Mean indices were created to be able to compare the two surveys. This shows that despite the less good experience with teaching at TU Graz during the pandemic the attitude towards digital teaching is relatively satisfying. Nevertheless, the authors point out that the students clearly indicate that digital (distance) learning has a negative impact on communication between students and teachers as well as between students themselves, and that measures would be desirable here.

[presentation] EdTech Talk: Learning Analytics & MOOCs #research #talk #online #tugraz

Am 24.1.24 darf ich einen EdTech Talk zum Thema “Learning Analytics & MOOCs” halten:

In diesem Talk wird die nationale MOOC-Plattform iMooX vorgestellt und welche Einblicke Learning Analytics im Laufe der Zeit ermöglichten. So konnten einerseits Kursersteller:innen ihre Online-Kurse besser optimieren und ihre Lernenden kennenlernen. Aber auch die Analysen im Video-Bereich zeigen einige interessante Ergebnisse. Learning Analytics haben gut zur Entwicklung der Plattform und der Kurse, aber auch zum Verständnis über das Lehren und Lernen beigetragen.

Jeder kann bitte gerne teilnehmen und mit mir über das Thema diskutieren: [Anmeldung zum EdTech Talk]

Online: Jede Menge OER von Studierenden der PH Oberösterreich… #OER #OpenEducation

Gemeinsam mit Sandra Schön darf ich in einer Lehrveranstlaltung an der PH Oberösterreich nun schon wiederholt zum Thema OER arbeiten… und soll dann dabei auch jede Menge OER entstehen … alle Studierende unterrichten an Berufsschulen, so dass es sich bei folgenden Materialien um entsprechende, ganz unterschiedliche, Ressourcen handelt. Viel Spaß beim Stöbern und ganz lieben Dank an die Teilnehmer:innen! <3
