[iPhone] Falling Flamingo Math

Falling FlamingoIm Rahmen unserer Vorlesung „Mobile Applications 2014“ ist das Spiel Falling Flamingo entstanden. Also nicht nur, dass es schwer ist den Flamingo durch die Levels zu bringen, nein man darf auch noch mathematische Aufgaben lösen – also dann mal los 🙂

Falling Flamingo Math ist ein iOS Spiel, welches dir dabei hilft deine Fähigkeiten im Kopfzurechnen spielerisch zu verbessern.
Du kannst zwischen 4 Schwierigkeitsgraden und 6 Charakteren wählen. Jeder Charakter hat unterschiedliche Eigenschaften. Das Ziel des Spiels ist es so lange wie möglich am Leben zu bleiben, indem du deinen Charakter durch die Plattformen nach unten navigierst und versuchst die Fragen richtig zu beantworten. Aber pass auf die Items auf! Manche Items helfen dir weiter zu kommen, aber andere machen dir das Leben schwer. Viel Spaß beim Spielen, Teilen und Herausfordern deiner Freunde via GameCenter.

[publication] The Maker Movement. Implications of new digital gadgets, fabrication tools and spaces for creative learning and teaching

Together with Swapna Kurma and Sandra I did an short intrdocution to the increasing maker movement which was published right now: „The Maker Movement. Implications of new digital gadgets, fabrication tools and spaces for creative learning and teaching„.

The “Maker Movement” deals with innovative forms of production and do-it-yourself work. It is not only a way for new business models and developments, e.g. using 3D print or other new digital tools and gizmos, but also influencing education. This paper introduces several diverse terms (from FabLabs to Hackerspaces) and gives insights into background, practice and existing experiences from Maker Movement in educational settings amongst all age groups. As a conclusion, the authors present reasons why practitioners and researcher should consider its educational potential. Besides its creative and technological impacts, learning by making is an important component of problem-solving and relating educational content to the real world. Besides this, digital tools for making are not expensive, for example apps for mobile devices or rents for 3D printer (compared with desktops in 1:1 settings). The Maker Movement is seen as an inspiring and creative way to deal with our world, it is aware of ecological challenges and of course, and it is able to develop technological interest and competences casually.
Finally, the authors give recommendation for reading for all who got interested in making.

[publication] Learning Analytics: From Theory to Practice – Data Support for Learning and Teaching

Our contribution at this year International Computer Assisted Assessment Conference (CAA 2014) about „Learning Analytics: From Theory to Practice – Data Support for Learning and Teaching“ is now online available.
Abstract:

Much has been written lately about the potential of Learning Analyt- ics for improving learning and teaching. Nevertheless, most of the contributions to date are concentrating on the abstract theoretical or algorithmic level, or, deal with academic efficiencies like teachers’ grading habits. This paper wants to fo- cus on the value that Learning Analytics brings to pedagogic interventions and feedback for reflection. We first analyse what Learning Analytics has to offer in this respect, and, then, present a practical use case of applied Learning Analytics for didactic support in primary school Arithmetic.
