Our publication about „A Mobile Application for School Children Controlled by External Bluetooth Devices“ got published in the new issue of the International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM).
Abstract:
The didactic method of digital, game-based learning includes integrating educational content or learning standards into video games with the objective to engage pupils. The method combines instructional content with computer or video games and can be used with all subjects and at all ability levels. Exponents of digital game-based learning argue that it provides learning opportunities which involve learners in interactive teaching and encourages them to take part in the technological society of the 21st century. The necessity of digital, game-based learning arose in the last decades of the 20th century as world-wide improvements in innovation took place. Today’s learners live their lives with easy access to technology. This paper discusses the need for, motivation for and adjustment of digital, game-based learning to meet the needs of contemporary and the future generations of learners. Specifically, a game prototype for pupils of 9 to 10 years of age was implemented and evaluated. A simple mathematical game was created to help children practice mathematical skills in a fun, logical, thoughtful, enjoyable, amusing and light-hearted way. The results of the evaluation showed that children were interested in using mobile devices to learn mathematics, and especially the multiplication table. During the study, children tried both to achieve positive results and enjoyed the game. Our findings indicate that using mobile-based games encourages a positive mental outlook in pupils toward mathematics, ensures their dynamic, noteworthy participation and supports the acquisition of mathematical knowledge.

We were invited to serve as guest editor for a special issue on „Trends and Opportunities in Online Education“ for the open access journal „future internet„. Of course we would love if you have time for an interesting opinion and submission on that 🙂
Dear Colleagues,
Education without technology is nearly impossible these days. Moreover, the future of teaching and learning is becoming more and more digitalized. Therefore, we would like to invite you to contribute to a call for papers asking for contributions on “trends and opportunities in online education”. We are searching for innovative examples, and emerging trends in teaching and learning with technologies and visions.
We would also be very happy if you can spread the call amongst further interested possible contributors.
Please find here more details on the CfP:

Most important: Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 May 2019
All further information you will find directly here: [Call for Papers]
Wir biegen in die Zielgerade bei unserem MOOC „Learning to Code: Programmieren mit Pocket Code„. Und wir wollen, dass man das bisherige Gelernte einsetzt und damit einfach Spaß hat:
In diesem Kapitel bist du an der Reihe, du hast die Aufgabe euer eigenes Programm von Grund auf zu entwickeln. Dieses Programm kann ein Spiel, Animation oder auch ganz was anderes sein. Du kannst natürlich alte Programme oder Konzepte von der vorigen Kapiteln verwenden.
Wie macht man mit? Das geht immer und jederzeit, einfach auf iMOOX registrieren und hier anmelden – viel Spaß allen.
Im Rahmen der Open Access Tage an der TU Graz stellten wir am Marketplace auch iMooX vor – hier das Plakat welches wir am Stand verwendet haben:

Issue 13(10) of our journal on emerging technologies for learning got published. Enjoy the readings as usual for free :-).
Table of Contents:
Nevertheless, if you are interested to become a reviewer for the journal, please just contact me :-).
Es geht weiter, bereits Woche 4 im MOOC „Learning to Code: Programmieren mit Pocket Code„. Diesesmal wollen wir Punkte und Highscore umsetzen, dazu kommen erstmals Variablen zum Einsatz:
Wir werden Variablen kennenlernen und sehen was dadurch als möglich wird – Level, Punktestände, Countdown und vieles mehr! Außerdem lernen wie wir uns die Eigenschaften von Objekten zunutze machen können!
Wie macht man mit? Das geht jederzeit, einfach auf iMOOX registrieren und hier anmelden – viel Spaß allen.
Our workshop at this year SEFI-conference in Copenhagen about „Learning dashboard for supporting students: from first-year engineering to MOOC students“ has been published in the conference proceeding.
By applying learning analytics on indicators that are predictive for a successful transition and online course completion, students can be provided with feedback on in order to improve their self-regulation, hereby providing support during the first-year and in online courses.

At this year International Conference on Engineering & Product Design Education we did a publication about the use of augmented reality in classrooms. The slides have already been published here.
Abstract:
In Austria there is a unique curriculum of technical education which is taught at Federal Secondary Colleges of Engineering (HTL). Despite mechanical engineering design with industrial standard 3D programmes being state of the art, techniques like Internet of Things (IoT) and Augmented Reality (AR) are still at the beginning. This paper describes the introduction of an IoT platform at Austrian HTLs with focus on Augmented Reality. In addition, a survey among students has been undertaken to get knowledge of whether students are familiar with and interested in using AR technologies and the results are presented in this paper.
