Welcome Days 2020 @ TU Graz #tugraz

Welcome Days 2020

Aufgrund der derzeitigen Situation und darauf aufbauend die Vorrausschau auf den Herbst 2020 haben wir uns entschlossen, die Welcome Days der TU Graz teilvirtuell zu gestalten. Also dort wo Präsenz möglich ist, wird es diese auch geben, den Rest streamen wir aus unserem Studio live 🙂

Informationen zu den Welcome Days findet man gesammelt unter https://welcome.tugraz.at

Wir freuen uns sehr unser neuen Studierenden mit einem neuen Setting begrüßen zu können.

[publication] Future Teacher Training of Several Universities with MOOCs as OER – Teaching in #COVID19 Pandemic. Stories from the field #imoox #mooc

#COVID19 was and is a big challenge for many people, for teachers as universities as well. And of course we love to share experiences we made or have seen at the TU Graz as well to enrich the contributions on teaching and learning with technologies in HEI.

This time we contributed to a book which collects 133 (!) experiences from colleagues worldwide, all available under CC BY NC ND. Please have look and check:

https://www.learntechlib.org/p/216903/

Our contribution describes:

To train future Austrian teachers in using digital media, a novel didactic design was implemented at several universities in Austria in summer semester 2019: The course includes the participation in a MOOC (massive open online course) on the topic, an accompanying group work at the universities and multiple-choice tests conducted at the universities. In the summer semester of 2020, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the group work and exams had to be switched to virtual space as well. Because the course materials are available under an open license, i.e. as open educational resources, further use is possible and offered.

[publication] Simulation data visualization using mixed reality with Microsoft HoloLensTM #AR #VR #tugraz

My PhD-Students wrote a chapter about the usage of Microsoft Hololens „Simulation data visualization using mixed reality with Microsoft HoloLensTM„. Now it got published within the book „New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality„.

Abstract:
Simulations and test beds are very difficult topics, especially for non-experienced students or new employees in the mechanical engineering domain. In this chapter, a HoloLens app and a CAD/Simulation workflow are introduced to visualize CAD models and sensor and simulation data of a test run on an air conditioning system test bed. The main challenge is to visualize temperature and pressure changes within opaque parts, such as tubes, compressors, condensers or electrical expansion valves. The HoloLens app supports various simulations and CAD visualizations. We exemplary implemented colouring the temperature or pressure changes of the test bed parts as Mixed-Reality (MR) overlays. The main purpose of the HoloLens app is to reduce the learning effort and time to understand such simulations and test bed settings. Additionally, the app could be used as a communication tool between different departments to transfer experiences and domain specific knowledge.

[veranstaltung] Barcamp: TEL Marketplace #tugraz #barcamp

Es freut uns, dass wir am 1.Juli das zweite Barcamp an der TU Graz anbieten können. Es wird teilvirtuell sein, also wir werden sowohl vor Ort diskutieren als auch virtuell, leider ist es nur für TU Graz Angehörige geöffnet.

Im Projekt „TEL Marketplace“ dreht sich alles rund um Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL), also technologiegestütztes Lehren und Lernen. An der TU Graz werden ausgewählte Pilotgruppen im Wintersemester 2019/20 und im Sommersemester 2020 dabei unterstützt, innovative TEL-Konzepte in der alltäglichen Lehrpraxis anzuwenden, zu evaluieren und gemeinsam mit Studierenden weiterzuentwickeln – von Lehrvideos über spielerische Quiz-Elemente bis hin zu virtuellen Labors. Beim Barcamp können Sie sich sowohl mit den Lehrenden und Forschenden der Pilotgruppen als auch mit Studierenden rund um technologiegestützte Lehre austauschen.

[publication] Mixed Reality Books: Applying Augmented and Virtual Reality in Mining Engineering Education #AR #VR #research

Our chapter about „Mixed Reality Books: Applying Augmented and Virtual Reality in Mining Engineering Education“ got published in the book „Augmented Reality in Education“.

Abstract:
This chapter deals with the integration of Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) elements into academic mining education. The focus lies on the didactical approach within the EU-funded MiReBooks (Mixed Reality Books) project. The project aims to develop a series of AR- and VR-based interactive mining manuals as a new digital standard for higher education across European engineering education. By combining AR and VR technologies, it is possible to address current challenges in mining education in an innovative way. These virtual applications should make otherwise impossible and dangerous situations accessible to students. Classical paper-based teaching materials are enriched with AR content and translated into pedagogically and didactically coherent manuals for integrative use in the classroom. The authors explore how AR and VR instruments can be effectively integrated into teaching. The results of a broad evaluation of AR/VR-based lectures are presented and discussed in this chapter. The experiences and findings are summarized in a decision matrix for the use of AR/VR-based technologies in teaching.
