[mooc] Grundbegriffe der Mechanik für technische Anwendungen #imoox #mint #mooc

Der dritte MINT-MOOC – nach den Mathematik– und Informatik-MINT-MOOCs – steht zur Anmeldung bereit. Diesesmal geht es um „Grundbegriffe der Mechanik für technische Anwendungen“ und richtet sich speziell an Studienanfängerinnen und -anfänger. Danke an die Montanuniverstität Leoben für die Erarbeitung der Inhalte.

Das Fach „Mechanik“ bildet eine der zentralen Säulen ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Studien. Der Kurs richtet sich an angehende Absolventen allgemeinbildender oder berufsbildender Schulen, die vor der Entscheidung für ein Studium stehen. Anhand eines einfachen Beispiels aus der Technik sollen die erste Einblicke in die Terminologie des Fachs vermittelt werden. Darüber hinaus sollen die Kursteilnehmer die Herangehensweise des Ingenieurs an praxisrelevante technisch-naturwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen kennenlernen.

Der MOOC ist wie immer vollkommen kostenfrei und man kann sich hier dafür anmelden: [Link zur kostenfreien Anmeldung]

[lecture] Research approaches and methods in technology-enhanced learning #TEL #research

Sandra was giving a lecture on „Research approaches and methods in technology-enhanced learning“ and therefore we did a rough translation of our L3T-chapter to make a hand out for the students.

Abstract:
This article offers an orientation on how research is done in technology-enhanced learning. Therefore, three different approaches to research in the interdisciplinary field will be presented first: hypothesis and theory testing, hypothesis and theory generating, and design oriented methods. Subsequently, some research methods are assigned to the research process – data collection, data analysis, development – and outlined. Finally, hints on the choice of a research method are given and a typical challenge in the field is mentioned.

[publication] Die Monster-MOOC-Weiterbildung – Erfahrungen mit der Übertragung eines interaktiven Präsenzworkshops in den digitalen Raum #covid19 #research #workshop

Einen interaktiven Workshop gestalten: geschenkt. Doch wie bringt man ihn in den virtuellen Raum? Ich habe die Herausforderung in der COVID-19-Krise angepackt und ein Workshopdesign, mit dem wir im Präsenzformat bei der Universität Passau (Lehre+ Hochschuldidaktik) gute Erfahrungen gemacht haben möglichst 1:1 in den virtuellen Raum übertragen und dort mit Lehrenden der FH Salzburg durchgeführt.

Im Beitrag wird das Konzept eines Präsenzworkshops zur Einführung von MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) für Lehrende an Hochschulen vorgestellt, wie es im Jahr 2013 mit hohen Anteilen von Interaktion und Gruppenarbeit entwickelt wurde. In der Folge der COVID-19-Krise und Umstellung auf Home Office und Online-Begegnungen wurde versucht, das methodisch-didaktische Konzept möglichst gleichartig in den digitalen Raum zu übertragen. Im Artikel wird beschrieben, welche Tools dabei zum Einsatz kamen und wie sie sich auf die Arbeitsweisen und -ergebnisse ausgewirkt haben.

Man kann jetzt nicht nur nachlesen wie wir Workshops für MOOC-Einsteiger/innen gestalten in Präsenz und Online gestalten, sondern auch, auf was man beim Übertragen ins Online-Format achten sollte.

[publication] Concepts for E-Assessments in STEM on the Example of Engineering Mechanics #eAssessment #STEMeducation #TEL

Our publication about „Concepts for E-Assessments in STEM on the Example of Engineering Mechanics“ got published in the International Journal for Emerging Technologies in Learning (i-JET).

Abstract:
We discuss if and how it is possible to develop meaningful e-assessments in Engineering Mechanics. The focus is on complex example problems, resembling traditional paper-pencil exams. Moreover, the switch to e-assessments should be as transparent as possible for the students, i.e., it shouldn’t lead to additional difficulties, while still maintaining sufficiently high discrimination indices for all questions. Example problems have been designed in such a way, that it is possible to account for a great variety of inputs ranging from graphical to numerical and algebraic as well as string input types. Thanks to the implementation of random variables it is even possible to create an individual set of initial values for every participant. Additionally, when dealing with complex example problems errors carried forward have to be taken into account. Different approaches to do so are detailed and discussed, e.g., pre-defined paths for sub-questions, usage of students’ previous inputs or decision trees. The main finding is that complex example problems in Engineering Mechanics can very well be used in e-assessments if the design of these questions is well structured into meaningful sub-questions and errors carried forward are accounted for.
