Digitale Lehre an und rund um der Technischen Universität Graz
Im Rahmem meiner Lehrveranstaltung „Technology Enhanced Learning“ haben Studierende wieder Lernvideos erstellt. Die Aufgabenstellung war, dass es für den Bereich Informatik und Sekundarstufe passen sollte. Hier eines rund um das Thema Formatierung.

An der TU Graz sind im Rahmen eines kleinen Projektes vier kurze Videos entstanden um Studierenden den Einstieg in die Programmiervorlesungen zu erleichtern. Unter anderem wird gezeigt wie man sich eine virtuelle Maschine einrichtet oder wie man GitLab verwenden kann. Die Videos sind offen und frei zugänglich.

I did together with my colleagues from Indonesia a small piece of research about „Microblogging with Padlet: Students’ New Writing Experience on A2–B1 Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)„.
Abstract:
Abstract of the publication
This research work aims to answer the question, compared to conventional media, whether the use of Padlet as a microblogging platform can improve students‘ German writing skills for A2 – B1 level CEFR standard. Students in the class A wrote with conventional paper sheet. Meanwhile, students in the class B wrote essay writing assignment through the Padlet platform. The study took place in Malang, Indonesia and lasted for one semester. In summary 45 students participated. The pre-test data indicated that there is no difference in the results of the pre-test in the control class and experiment class. The post test scores were obtained from two writing assessments in both classes. The test results indicated the data value sig 0.326 in the ANOVA table, which means that there are no differences in the post-test results in the two classes. Thus, it was concluded that the use of Padlet in microblogging activities in writing did not affect the results of student writing scores. Nevertheless, the use of Padlet has not any disadvantages, whereas students get additonal digital skills and respond additionally positively to the use of Padlet.

Our contribution to the book „Emerging Technologies and Pedagogies in the Curriculum“ got published right now. Following the title „More Than a MOOC—Seven Learning and Teaching Scenarios to Use MOOCs in Higher Education and Beyond“ we described different scenarios how MOOCs can be used in (Higher) Education. Furthermore, we also did a short summary of the outcome, which you can find here.
Abstract:
Abstract of the publication
Since 2010, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been one of the most discussed and researched topics in the area of educational technology. Due to their open nature such courses attract thousands of learners worldwide and more and more higher education institutions begin to produce their own MOOCs. Even the (international) press is full of reports and articles of how MOOCs can revolutionize education. In this chapter, we will take a look from a meta-level. After years of experiences with different MOOCs, we recognize that many MOOCs are used in different ways by teachers, lecturers, trainers and learners. So, there are different learning and teaching scenarios in the background often not visible to the broader public. Therefore, we like to address the following research question: “How can MOOCs be used in Higher Education learning and teaching scenarios and beyond?” In the study, the authors will focus on the seven identified scenarios how particular MOOCs were used for teaching and learning and therefore illustrate, that a MOOC can be “more than a MOOC”. MOOCs are one of the key drivers for open education using Open Educational Resources. The use of open licenses for MOOC resources are the mechanism for potential innovations in learning and teachings scenarios.

Seit gestern ist nun offiziell, iMooX ist eines der geförderten Projekte in der nun laufenden Ausschreibung des Bundesministeriums. Dabei ist das Ziel des Projektes folgendermaßen definiert:
iMooX wird derzeit von der TU Graz betrieben und soll im Rahmen des Projektes sowohl technisch als auch organisatorisch, logistisch und mediendidaktisch so ausgebaut werden, dass mittelfristig alle österreichischen Hochschulen auf der Plattform MOOCs anbieten können.
Auszug aus dem Projekantrag
Kurzum wir wollen, dass jeder österreichische Hochschule iMooX nun nicht nur passiv, sondern aktiv nutzen kann. Daher haltet uns die Daumen, dass wir das in den nächsten Jahren schaffen und wir freuen uns natürlich auch, dass viele Lernende vom Angebot profitieren können 🙂
Our contribution to the Edurobotics conference 2018 got published right now. According to the title „Designing a Makerspace for Children – Let’s Do It“ we described our first Makerdays 2015.
Abstract:
Abstract of the publication
When makerspaces are designed for children, special motivation and reasoning needs to be made. Within this article, we describe a case study: A temporary four-day open makerspace for about 40 children per day. Motivation, considerations and the development process as well as the actual realization are described and discussed. We comment on how such a space for children and adolescents should be arranged for future studies. As described, considerations in terms of participation, peer tutoring and gender mainstreaming influence the design of the space, the methods used, as well as the general setting.

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:
Website Smart Learning Environment
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.
