[imoox] Tenses explained #mooc #tugraz #imoox

Diese Woche ist ein neuer MOOC gestartet mit dem klingenden Titel „Tenses explained„. Dabei geht es in diesem kurzem Online-Kurs um die Verwendung der Zeiten in der englischen Sprach – kurz und einfach erklärt von Thomas Murr. Es lohnt sich hineinzuschauen 🙂

In diesem Kurs werden alle englischen Zeitformen sowie ihre Funktionen vorgestellt und anhand von Dialogen, die deren Einsatz in realen Situationen zeigen, erarbeitet.
Nach erfolgreicher Absolvierung des Kurses sollen die TeilnehmerInnen in der Lage sein, die unterschiedlichen Tempusformen des Englischen situationsgerecht anzuwenden. Außerdem verfügen die TeilnehmerInnen über ein grundlegendes theoretisches Wissen des englischen Zeitenkontinuums.

Die Teinahme am Kurs ist wie immer natürlich vollkommen kostenfrei: [Link zur Anmeldeseite des Kurses]

[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.
