[video] Digitale Bildung #avatar #ki #tugraz

Wir haben wieder etwas mit „meinem“ Avatar herumgespielt und ein Video erstellt rund um das Thema „Digitale Bildung“. Das gibt es nun in zwei Versionen – deutsch und englisch. Vielleicht ist es ja auch in anderen Kontexten hilfreich, freu mich wie immer auf Rückmeldungen.

[workshop] Special Interest Group on Emerging Technologies: Exploring Educational Podcasts with AI #tugraz #research

For many years, we have also been organising an annual workshop as part of the ED-Media conference, known as the ‘Special Interest Group on Emerging Technologies’. The aim is always to show and discuss a new innovative technology for education. This year it was our newly developed AI Cast.
Here are the slides:

[presentation] Inspired by generative AI, Ignoring Open Knowledge? Findings from a Longitudinal Study on Digital Equipment and Activities of Study Beginners at TU Graz (2011–2024) #edmedia25 #tugraz

Our first talk at this year’s ED-Media conference in Barcelona was about „Inspired by generative AI, Ignoring Open Knowledge? Findings from a Longitudinal Study on Digital Equipment and Activities of Study Beginners at TU Graz (2011–2024)„. As has become something of a tradition, I have once again presented the results of our long-term study of our first-year students about IT equipment and the use of IT applications in general and for learning.

[mooc] Generative KI: verstehen, gestalten, verantworten #imoox

Im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Projektes arbeiten wir zusammen mit der Universität Graz an einem MOOC mit dem Titel „Generative KI: verstehen, gestalten, verantworten„. Dabei geht es um folgendes:

Der MOOC „Generative KI: verstehen, gestalten, verantworten“ bietet eine fundierte und zugleich praxisorientierte Einführung in das Themenfeld der generativen Künstlichen Intelligenz (genKI). In vier inhaltlich aufeinander abgestimmten Lerneinheiten und zwei optionalen Vertiefungs-Lektionen erwerben Teilnehmer:innen sowohl theoretische Grundlagen als auch anwendungsbezogene Kompetenzen, um generative KI-Technologien reflektiert und verantwortungsvoll im eigenen (Arbeits-)Kontext einsetzen zu können.

In 6 Lektionen wollen wir das Thema Generative KI möglichst praxisnah erarbeiten mit dem Ziel “ … Teilnehmer:innen dazu zu befähigen, generative KI-Technologien fundiert zu verstehen, selbstständig anzuwenden und kritisch einzuordnen.

Start des MOOCs wird am 29.9.2025 sein, aber anmelden kann man sich bereits jetzt dazu: [Anmeldung zur kostenlosen MOOC-Teilnahme]

[publication] Chatbots in Education: A Systematic Rapid Literature Review #AIinEdu #tugraz #research

Our contribution to this year’s SITE conference in Orlando titled „Chatbots in Education: A Systematic Rapid Literature Review“ is published.

Abstract:
This review explores the role of chatbots in education through a detailed literature review of 60 records. As chatbots become increasingly embedded in students‘ daily lives, their presence in primary, secondary, and tertiary education is expanding rapidly. By analyzing the selected papers, this review highlights both the opportunities and challenges faced by educators and students when using chatbots. The findings indicate that the integration of AI in education offers significant potential but requires careful consideration. In particular, the study emphasizes the need for improved teacher and student training, updated policies, and effective assessments to maintain academic integrity and enhance learning outcomes.

[workshop] Exploring Educational Podcasts with AI #edmedia25

We are delighted that we can offer another workshop for our „SIG“ at this year’s EDMedia conference in Barcelona titled „Exploring Educational Podcasts with AI

Abstract:
How can educators unleash the power of AI without losing control over core educational strategies? In this workshop, we will introduce aicast, an open source platform for educational podcasts that combines the best of both worlds: AI-generated elements for personalization and flexibility, and fixed elements, with instructor-defined content to ensure pedagogical accuracy. This hybrid approach reduces the risks associated with AI-generated materials like hallucinations. Attendees will learn how the platform utilizes LLMs like ChatGPT for personalized content authoring and ElevenLabs for high-quality voice synthesis, enabling real-time creation of educational audio content. After a short demo and hands-on session, participants will engage in a guided discussion: What is the core of an educational podcast? How do structure, tone, and repetition affect learning? Most importantly from the perspective of an instructional designer, how must an educational podcast be? This session is part of the Special Interest Group on Emerging Technologies for Learning and Teaching and invites participants to think critically about the role of AI in educational podcasting. Even more we invite instructional designer to collaborate with us to bring educational podcast to a next level
.

We would love to meet you in Barcelona, even more, if you can join our workshop – cu there 🙂
