[mooc] Zeit.shift MOOC – Digital in gesterns Zukunft #uibk #imoox

Wir freuen uns heute einen Re-Start eines MOOCs ankündigen zu können und zwar vom MOOC „Zeit.shift MOOC – Digital in gesterns Zukunft„. Dieser wurde ergänzt und steht nun in der zweiten Auflage zur Verfügung:

Über den MOOC:
Was erzählen uns Zeitungen über unser Leben vor 100 Jahren? Wie werden Zeitungen digitalisiert und über Web-Portale zugänglich gemacht? Wie kann ich in online verfügbaren historischen Zeitungen recherchieren, um eine vorwissenschaftliche Fragestellung zu formulieren? Wie nutzen die Digitalen Geisteswissenschaften computergestützte Verfahren zur Erschließung historischer Textdokumente?
Im Zeit.shift-MOOC – Digital in gesterns Zukunft arbeitet ihr mit historischen Tageszeitungen aus Nord-, Ost- und Südtirol. Wir stellen euch die Zeitungen als online verfügbare Quellen zur Recherche im Rahmen vorwissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen vor. Wir bereiten ausgewählte Themen aus den Zeitungen exemplarisch auf, um euch die Bandbreite der historischen Texte zu vermitteln und das Finden eines spannenden Themas für eine vorwissenschaftliche Arbeit zu erleichtern.
Dieser MOOC richtet sich primär an Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie an alle, die aktiv mit online verfügbaren Zeitungen arbeiten wollen. Wir begleiten euch direkt in die historische Quelle hinein und unterstützen euch dabei, die Textquellen zu befragen und zeitgemäß zu nutzen. Wir stellen das Potential der Digitalen Geisteswissenschaften vor und möchten Einblick geben in einige computerlinguistische Verfahren, die die Arbeit mit historischen Zeitungen erleichtern.

Free e-Learning mit Bildungsmobilfunker educom #freelearning

https://free-e-learning.at

Der Bildungsmobilfunker educom meldet, dass er nun bereits über 3.000 Bildungswebseites „frei geschalten“ hat. Frei bedeutet dabei, dass kein Datenvolumen angerechnet wird, wenn man Inhalte dieser Webseit konsumiert. Natürlich macht da auch gerne die TU Graz mit und hat neben seinen Webportalen auch iMooX.at dort angemeldet. Wir freuen uns natürlich über solche Aktionen und hoffen auf weitere Nachahmer:innen:

[publication] Making of an Open Makerspace in a Secondary Vocational School in Austria: Development, Activities, User Behaviour and Gender Balance #makereducation #making #edil21

Our contribuation to this year ED-Media 2021 conference about „Making of an Open Makerspace in a Secondary Vocational School in Austria: Development, Activities, User Behaviour and Gender Balance“ got published. The slides are already here online.

Abstract:
This research shows the development process of an open makerspace on the premises of a higher secondary vocational school (HTL) in Austria from 2017 till today. It illustrates the need for this space, the acquisition of initial funding and the legal framework. User policy and machinery are presented, as well as safety and security systems. An insight on the organizational structure is given. We present regular dedicated maker classes and curricular integration of the makerspace for K-12 students. Makerspace activities like maker challenges and holiday camps for divergent participants like primary school children and girls are discussed and the role of females in engineering education and makerspaces is reviewed. Qualitative observations of different stakeholders are reproduced and supplemented by statistical data. We also show setbacks and difficulties due to the Corona crisis and give an overview of future maker initiatives.

[publication] Approaches to Monitor and Evaluate OER Policies in Higher Education – Tracing Developments in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland #OpenEducationalResources #OER #OEAA

Togehter with my colleagues we did a research about OER policies in Higher Education with a strong focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland for the Asian Journal of Distance Education:

Abstract:
The 2019 UNESCO recommendation on Open Educational Resources (OER) encourages member states to monitor policies and mechanisms in OER across the world. In higher education, there are many initiatives and policies around OER. This contribution gives insights into the current situation concerning OER policy documents that are of national or institutional relevance for public higher education institutions in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. For each country, a different approach for identifying OER policy documents was chosen, dependent on the availability of documents and different dominant forms of documentation. Whereas digital documents available on the web were found as helpful sources for Germany, and performance agreements between the national ministry and individual universities were used for analysis in Austria, a survey amongst all universities was the chosen research approach in Switzerland to give an overview about potentially OER related policy documents. All these documents are now made available via the OER World Map. With this contribution, the authors also highlight the possibility of using the OER World Map as a powerful tool to collect and evaluate OER policy documents.
