I did together with my colleagues from Indonesia a small piece of research about „Microblogging with Padlet: Students’ New Writing Experience on A2–B1 Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)„.

Abstract:
This research work aims to answer the question, compared to conventional media, whether the use of Padlet as a microblogging platform can improve students‘ German writing skills for A2 – B1 level CEFR standard. Students in the class A wrote with conventional paper sheet. Meanwhile, students in the class B wrote essay writing assignment through the Padlet platform. The study took place in Malang, Indonesia and lasted for one semester. In summary 45 students participated. The pre-test data indicated that there is no difference in the results of the pre-test in the control class and experiment class. The post test scores were obtained from two writing assessments in both classes. The test results indicated the data value sig 0.326 in the ANOVA table, which means that there are no differences in the post-test results in the two classes. Thus, it was concluded that the use of Padlet in microblogging activities in writing did not affect the results of student writing scores. Nevertheless, the use of Padlet has not any disadvantages, whereas students get additonal digital skills and respond additionally positively to the use of Padlet.

[publication] More Than a MOOC—Seven Learning and Teaching Scenarios to Use MOOCs in Higher Education and Beyond #mooc #imoox

Our contribution to the book „Emerging Technologies and Pedagogies in the Curriculum“ got published right now. Following the title „More Than a MOOC—Seven Learning and Teaching Scenarios to Use MOOCs in Higher Education and Beyond“ we described different scenarios how MOOCs can be used in (Higher) Education. Furthermore, we also did a short summary of the outcome, which you can find here.

Abstract:
Since 2010, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been one of the most discussed and researched topics in the area of educational technology. Due to their open nature such courses attract thousands of learners worldwide and more and more higher education institutions begin to produce their own MOOCs. Even the (international) press is full of reports and articles of how MOOCs can revolutionize education. In this chapter, we will take a look from a meta-level. After years of experiences with different MOOCs, we recognize that many MOOCs are used in different ways by teachers, lecturers, trainers and learners. So, there are different learning and teaching scenarios in the background often not visible to the broader public. Therefore, we like to address the following research question: “How can MOOCs be used in Higher Education learning and teaching scenarios and beyond?” In the study, the authors will focus on the seven identified scenarios how particular MOOCs were used for teaching and learning and therefore illustrate, that a MOOC can be “more than a MOOC”. MOOCs are one of the key drivers for open education using Open Educational Resources. The use of open licenses for MOOC resources are the mechanism for potential innovations in learning and teachings scenarios.

iMooX die Bildungsplattform für Österreich

Seit gestern ist nun offiziell, iMooX ist eines der geförderten Projekte in der nun laufenden Ausschreibung des Bundesministeriums. Dabei ist das Ziel des Projektes folgendermaßen definiert:

iMooX wird derzeit von der TU Graz betrieben und soll im Rahmen des Projektes sowohl technisch als auch organisatorisch, logistisch und mediendidaktisch so ausgebaut werden, dass mittelfristig alle österreichischen Hochschulen auf der Plattform MOOCs anbieten können.

Auszug aus dem Projekantrag

Kurzum wir wollen, dass jeder österreichische Hochschule iMooX nun nicht nur passiv, sondern aktiv nutzen kann. Daher haltet uns die Daumen, dass wir das in den nächsten Jahren schaffen und wir freuen uns natürlich auch, dass viele Lernende vom Angebot profitieren können 🙂

Peter PurgathoferGADI14 - Wolfgang SchinaglDer MOOC „Gesellschaftliche Aspekte der Informationstechnologie“ auf iMooX geht leider in die letzte und 10te Woche. Zum Abschluss kommen zwei sehr erfahrene Experten zu Wort: Prof. Peter Purgathofer und Dr. Schinagl.
Sie sind seit Anbeginn des Internets dabei und haben die rasante bisherige Entwicklung auch maßgeblich mitgesteuert. Trotzdem rufen sie auf, den kritischen Blick nicht zu verlieren? Warum? Nun dazu muss man beim MOOC vorbeischauen 🙂 .
Also unbedingt noch mitdiskutieren – der Einstieg in den MOOC ist jederzeit noch möglich.
