[MOOC] Mathe Fit MOOC startet #imoox #tugraz #mathematik

Ich darf ankündigen, dass fast schon traditionell am Montag der Mathe Fit MOOC der TU Graz startet. Dieser Online-Kurs ist ein Brückenkurs und dazu gedacht Studienanfänger:innen den Einstieg in ein technisches oder naturwissenschaftliches Studium zu erleichtern:

Der iMoox-Kurs Mathe-Fit dient als verbindlicher Vorbereitungskurs für die gleichnamige TU Graz Lehrveranstaltung. Beides zusammen, Online-Kurs und Lehrveranstaltung, sind speziell ein Angebot für Erstsemestrige der TU Graz, die eigenen Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten im Fach Mathemathik zu überprüfen und aufzufrischen, damit der Übergang und Start ins Studium möglichst reibungslos verläuft. Gemeinsam mit dem bereits durchgeführten Mathe-MINT Brückenkurs, bilden sie ein umfassendes mathematisches Starterpaket, welches nicht nur für angehende Studierende der TU Graz geeignet ist, sondern sich generell an all jene richtet, die an mathematischen Inhalten interessiert sind.

Damit darf ich mich auch in den Sommerurlaub 2022 verabschieden und ich werden dann wieder ab Herbst in gewohnter Manier über unsere Aktivitäten berichten. Wer wissen möchte was ich so mache inzwischen, kann ja gerne auf meinem Profil beim Alpenverein vorbei schauen – ich bin mir sicher, die ein oder andere Tour wird hinzukommen 😉

[publication] MOOCs, Learning Analytics and OER: An Impactful Trio for the Future of Education! #imoox #OER #tugraz #LearningAnalytics

Our contribution to the CSEDU 2020 conference about „MOOCs, Learning Analytics and OER: An Impactful Trio for the Future of Education!“ got finally published. I did the presentation in May 2020 in the very beginning of the COVID19-pandemic and it was my first complete online keynote 🙂

Abstract:
This paper discusses the general thesis that massive open online courses (in short MOOC), open educational resources (in short OER) and learning analytics are an impactful trio for future education, especially if combined. The contribution bases upon our practical experience as service providers and researchers in the department “Educational Technology” at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in Austria. The team members provide support to lecturers, teachers and researchers in these addressed fields for several years now, for example as host of the MOOC platform iMooX.at, providing only OER since 2015. Within this contribution, we will show, against some doubtful or conflicting opinions and positions, that (a) MOOCs are opening-up education; (b) learning analytics give insights and support learning, not only online learning, if implemented in MOOCs; and (c) that OER has the potential for sustainable resources, innovations and even more impact, especially if implemented in MOOCs.

Im Rahmen eines Lehrauftrags an der PH Oberösterreich haben Sandra Schön und ich wieder einen zweitägigen Workshop zu den Themen OER und MOOCs angeboten. Als Arbeitsauftrag gilt es dabei auch, OER zu veröffentlichen. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass es damit wieder gelungen ist, vielen Knowhow und Spaß am OER-Machen vermitteln zu können – und natürlich auch darüber, dass es nun wieder vier Handvoll mehr OER gibt:

[publication] An Exploratory Mixed Method Study on H5P Videos and Video-Related Activities in a MOOC Environment #H5P #MOOC #imoox

Our article about „An Exploratory Mixed Method Study on H5P Videos and Video-Related Activities in a MOOC Environment“ got finally published:

In this paper, an exploratory mixed-method study is presented examining the video-related behavior of participants of a massive open online course (MOOC; N=1.238). Firstly, detailed log-file analysis of six videos has been carried out to compare clickstreams of videos with and without integrated H5P quiz integration. It shows quite different seeking and watching pattern behavior in video with H5P quizzes. In a second step, learners participated in an online questionnaire (N=707): Most of them see the quizzes in videos as always or mostly helpful (67%). The survey also shows that for many, taking notes, turning on subtitles, using the transcripts or even increasing the speed are important activities when learning with the videos in the MOOC. In a third step, interviews with ten MOOC participants are a source for qualitative insights in how the learners use the learning videos.
