Digitale Lehre an und rund um der Technischen Universität Graz
Auf Englisch haben wir es auf der EduRobotics 2018 in Rom vorgestellt, für den Praxisblog dann gleich ins Deutsche übertragen:
I am very happy to be again responsible for the Special Interest Group (SIG) about „Emerging Technologies for Learning and Teaching“ at next year ED-Media Conference in Amsterdam. I also changed the program a little bit, from just a discussing part to a more interactive one. Our main goal will be to establish guided tours for those who are interested in emerging technologies.
Procedure of the SIG
- June 2019: Scanning of research work within the conference program which might be from interest for SIG participants
- June 25th: SIG meeting at the conference where SIG chair will introduce to those works and provide a possible conference guide to those presentations. Discussion about the chosen research work
- Conference 2019: SIG participants will participate the suggested presentations and vote for them online from the perspective of an innovative and emerging technologies.
Anyway, I would love to see you in Amsterdam 🙂

Abstract:
The didactic method of digital, game-based learning includes integrating educational content or learning standards into video games with the objective to engage pupils. The method combines instructional content with computer or video games and can be used with all subjects and at all ability levels. Exponents of digital game-based learning argue that it provides learning opportunities which involve learners in interactive teaching and encourages them to take part in the technological society of the 21st century. The necessity of digital, game-based learning arose in the last decades of the 20th century as world-wide improvements in innovation took place. Today’s learners live their lives with easy access to technology. This paper discusses the need for, motivation for and adjustment of digital, game-based learning to meet the needs of contemporary and the future generations of learners. Specifically, a game prototype for pupils of 9 to 10 years of age was implemented and evaluated. A simple mathematical game was created to help children practice mathematical skills in a fun, logical, thoughtful, enjoyable, amusing and light-hearted way. The results of the evaluation showed that children were interested in using mobile devices to learn mathematics, and especially the multiplication table. During the study, children tried both to achieve positive results and enjoyed the game. Our findings indicate that using mobile-based games encourages a positive mental outlook in pupils toward mathematics, ensures their dynamic, noteworthy participation and supports the acquisition of mathematical knowledge.

Wir biegen in die Zielgerade bei unserem MOOC „Learning to Code: Programmieren mit Pocket Code„. Und wir wollen, dass man das bisherige Gelernte einsetzt und damit einfach Spaß hat:
In diesem Kapitel bist du an der Reihe, du hast die Aufgabe euer eigenes Programm von Grund auf zu entwickeln. Dieses Programm kann ein Spiel, Animation oder auch ganz was anderes sein. Du kannst natürlich alte Programme oder Konzepte von der vorigen Kapiteln verwenden.
Wie macht man mit? Das geht immer und jederzeit, einfach auf iMOOX registrieren und hier anmelden – viel Spaß allen.

Es geht weiter, bereits Woche 4 im MOOC „Learning to Code: Programmieren mit Pocket Code„. Diesesmal wollen wir Punkte und Highscore umsetzen, dazu kommen erstmals Variablen zum Einsatz:
Wir werden Variablen kennenlernen und sehen was dadurch als möglich wird – Level, Punktestände, Countdown und vieles mehr! Außerdem lernen wie wir uns die Eigenschaften von Objekten zunutze machen können!

Our workshop at this year SEFI-conference in Copenhagen about „Learning dashboard for supporting students: from first-year engineering to MOOC students“ has been published in the conference proceeding.
By applying learning analytics on indicators that are predictive for a successful transition and online course completion, students can be provided with feedback on in order to improve their self-regulation, hereby providing support during the first-year and in online courses.
