[presentation] MOOCs in der Hochschullehre und darüberhinaus #imoox #tugraz

Im Rahmen des „Monats der freien Bildung“ wollten wir eigentlich wieder einen Stand rund um iMooX.at anbieten (wie man hier auf dem Foto sehen kann). Nur leider ist das heuer nicht möglich aufgrund der Corona-Krise, daher mach ich jetzt einen Kurzvortrag online rund um das Thema MOOCs:

[publication] Open Educational Resources in Austria

As part of the book Current State of Open Educational Resources in the “Belt and Road” Countries we did a chapter about the current state in Austria.

Abstract:
In Austria, located in the center of Europe, when compared earlier in relation to other German-speaking countries in Europe, individuals and groups started to develop and work on the idea of freely available and usable learning content on the Internet. A first Austrian milestone was the coordination of an international conference on open educational content in 2007 as the final activity of the first European project that was focused on OER (olcos.org). Within the contribution an overview of current state and developments of OER activities in Austria is given, also describing its infrastructure, policy, existing resources, curriculum and teaching methodologies, outcome, stakeholders and impact for education. The chapter gives a comprehensive overview of all OER activities in Austria and outlines the benefits for the educational system as well. It can be summarized that the Austrian way seems to be successful even though the steps forward are often small.

[publication] How to Support Girls’ Participation at Projects in Makerspace Settings. Overview on Current Recommendations #research #tugraz

Our contribution to the Edurobotics conference 2018 got published right now. According to the title „How to Support Girls’ Participation at Projects in Makerspace Settings„. Overview on Current Recommendations“ we did a study with a special view how we can increase the participation of girls in makerspaces.

Abstract:
Several biases and thresholds challenge the reach of girls in technology-related activities. For this contribution we collected and structured existing research and good practices on how to reach girls within projects in the field educational robotics, makerspaces, coding and STEM in general. The contribution presents general guidelines for future activities with a potential higher rate of participating girls in makerspace settings.

[publication] Open educational resources in continuing adult education: development in the German-speaking area #OER #research

Our article about „Open educational resources in continuing adult education: development in the German-speaking area“ got published in the Journal „Smart Learnining Environment„. We aimed to give a short overview about the situation in the german-speaking area.

Abstract:
Open Educational Resources (OER) allow many different uses in educational work that are excluded from traditional materials by copyright laws, such as modifying and republishing existing materials. This article examines the current role of OER in the field of adult education in German-speaking area, especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Although nowadays the topic of digitization is given a high strategic importance in continuing education in Switzerland, OER plays just a subordinate role there.

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.
