[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.

[publication] Promoting Digital Skills for Austrian Employees through a MOOC: Results and Lessons Learned from Design and Implementation #mooc #imoox
Our publication about „Promoting Digital Skills for Austrian Employees through a MOOC: Results and Lessons Learned from Design and Implementation“ got published in the journal Education Sciences:
Abstract:
Digital skills are now essential, not only in information and communications technology (ICT) jobs, but for employees across all sectors. The aim of this article is to detail how employees’ digital skills can be fostered through a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), how such an offer is used and what the effects of such a measure are. Using an approach oriented at action research and design-based research activities, the authors describe the basics of their finding on existing European competence frameworks for digital skills and European projects that used MOOCs, the development and design of the MOOC, the evaluation on the basis of learning analytics insights and a questionnaire, as well as a reflection. The MOOC was offered as Open Educational Resources (OER) on the Austrian MOOC platform iMOOX.at from March to April 2021, with 2083 participants, of whom 381 fully completed the course (at end of June 2021) and 489 filled out the final questionnaire

[mooc] Start of Challenge Based Learning in Higher Education #imoox
We are happy to announce a new MOOC start with the title „Challenge Based Learning in Higher Education“ of the University of Graz:
Challenge-based learning is an innovative active approach to teaching and learning which is comparatively new to higher education.
This MOOC helps you to develop competences needed to introduce challenge-based learning into your own teaching practice.
Here you can find the trailer:
Participation is as usual completly free, so feel free to register and join: [Link to enroll to the course]
[publication] Quiz Feedback in Massive Open Online Courses from the Perspective of Learning Analytics: Role of First Quiz Attempts #imoox #moox #tugraz
Our chapter about „Quiz Feedback in Massive Open Online Courses from the Perspective of Learning Analytics: Role of First Quiz Attempts“ got published:
Abstract:
Massive open online course (MOOC) platforms within the so-called xMOOC framework typically host quizzes, sometimes as part of the course assessment. Within our contribution we look at and describe quizzes and their results as a feedback for learners. Additionally, we describe current research on quizzes in MOOCs, especially from a learning analytics perspective. Building upon this, we explore data from a single MOOC (N = 1,484) from the Austrian MOOC platform iMooX.at where quizzes are used for final assessment but can be repeated up to five times within the course. The analysis of quiz activities shows a moderate correlation (r = 0,2765, N = 957) of the very first attempt with the final MOOC success.
