[publicaton] Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and ChatGPT in education – a first rapid literature review #ai #chatgpt #tugraz #research

We did a first rapid literature review about chatGPT is used in education settings. Our paper titled “Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and ChatGPT in education – a first rapid literature review” for the EDMedia and Innovative 2023 conference in Vienna is now online available.

Abstract: The usage of AI, more precisely ChatGPT, is almost embedded in our everyday routine. It reduces the time, effort, and cost of performing boring and now also very delicate tasks. It appears that ChatGPT knows everything and knows how to explain everything in a personalized and peculiar way, adjusted to the user’s preferences. In this paper, we will explore how ChatGPT can be used in higher education and what its limitations are, if any at all. We shall endeavor to examine both the advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT in education and state of the art. We will use a literature review as our research method to explore and find the necessary answers. We will explore and use various scientific articles, newspaper articles, blog posts, and other relevant literature from many authors. Our results and conclusion will show how to use ChatGPT in the best way in education and what to look out for now that ChatGPT is still available to everyone.

[publication] Students in Focus – Moving Towards Human-Centred Learning Analytics #LearningAnalytics #LearnersCorner #tugraz #LA

We are very proud that we can announce another research article about our successful Learning Analytics project titled “Students in Focus – Moving Towards Human-Centred Learning Analytics“. It got published with the book Practicable Learning Analytics.

Abstract:
Human-centred design is a well-established approach within research fields such as human-computer interaction, ergonomics, and human factors. Recently Learning Analytics (LA) researchers and practitioners have manifested great interest in exploring methods and techniques associated with this approach to manage the design process in ways that can enhance human interaction with LA technology. The project “Learning Analytics – Students in Focus” aims to use student-related data to support the learning and teaching process in a higher educational context. Our interdisciplinary team investigates LA tools that leverage students’ academic success by acquiring or developing self-regulated learning skills. We adopted a Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) approach involving students, teachers, and other educational stakeholders in the iterative design of our LA tools. This article contributes to the discussion on how to design LA tools using a human-centred approach. We describe the analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation process of three LA tools comprised in our students’ dashboard, i.e., the planner, the activity graph, and the learning diary. In addition, we present key results gained in several empirical studies which had an implication on the tools’ design. Finally, we provide insights about our experience with the HCLA approach, pointing out benefits and limitations in practice.

[mooc] Inklusive berufliche Qualifizierung und Vermittlung mit digitalen Tools #belvedere #imoox #tugraz

Heute startet ein MOOC, als Outcome in einem tollen europäischen Projekt, mit dem Titel “Inklusive berufliche Qualifizierung und Vermittlung mit digitalen Tools“. Wir haben dafür doch in einem hochkarätigen Team lange Zeit gearbeitet um damit einem Möglichkeit der Qualifizierung zu schaffen:

Die Zielsetzung von BELVEDERE ist es, Fachkräfte, die  benachteiligte Jugendliche und Erwachsene in beruflichen Ausbildungs-,  Qualifizierungs- und Vermittlungsprozessen unterstützen, mit den  notwendigen digitalen Kompetenzen auszustatten. Dies soll die Qualität ihrer  Arbeit steigern und ihre Lernenden in ihrer digitalen Teilhabe stärken.
Der Kurs ist eines der Angebote des BELVEDERE-Projekts, ein von der EU unterstütztes Erasmus+ Programm. Informationen zum Projekt und dem gesamten Angebot des BELVEDERE-Programms finden Sie unter “Informationen zum BELVEDERE-Projekt” weiter unten.

[podcast] KI spricht in selbst kreiertem Online-Kurs über sich selbst #imoox #mooc #AI

Im Rahmen unses KI-generierten MOOCs “Societech: Die Gesellschaft im Kontext der Informationstechnologie” haben wir auch mit dem Aircampus geredet und dazu ist nun ein kurzer Podcast erschienen:

Was kann künstliche Intelligenz heute leisten? Und woran erkennt man einen KI-generierten Inhalt? Auf Basis dieser Fragen ließen Martin Ebner und sein Team an der TU Graz einen kompletten Online-Kurs von einer KI selber gestalten.

[publication] Perspective Chapter: Implementation of MOOCs for Microcredentials and European University Alliances #imoox #mooc #unite!

We are happy that we can announce our newest contribution for our UNITE! alliance titled “Perspective Chapter: Implementation of MOOCs for Microcredentials and European University Alliances“:

Abstract:
MOOCs are seen as an important measure to open up universities to new target groups. In this chapter, two new variants of the usage of MOOCs in European higher education are highlighted: First, openly licensed MOOCs can be used as part of microcredential offers with university accreditation. Second, openly licensed MOOCs can be made available to other universities as an integrated resource and offer within European University alliances. This chapter discusses legal (such as copyright issues), organizational (such as processes), and technical issues (such as LTI, eduGAIN) for these new developments. An important requirement for this is that MOOCs are available as open educational resources (OER): Open licenses that allow the reuse, modification, and republication of educational resources (“open education resources”) are another opportunity to open up and share university offers. This chapter is based on experiences of the national Austrian MOOC platform iMooX.at, the microcredential implementation of Graz University of Technology, as well as first ideas concerning the integration of openly licensed MOOCs within the unite! University alliance of nine European technical universities.
