[app] Multiplikationstrainer #app #LearningAnalytics

MultiplikationstrainerDer Mulitplikationstrainer, Teil unseres Learninglab , erhält nun auch eine iOS-App, die einerseits einen Trainingsmodus und andererseits eben den Übungsmodus implementiert hat.

Expand your multiplication skills.
You can start a short game over ten rounds or an online game.
If you reach enough points at the short game, you unlock the next level with higher complexity.
Or our Online-System creates your multiplications. The system enables you to see your calculations and errors online.
So you are able to analyze your errors and improve your skills.
If you play the online mode, you need an account from the learning lab of the TU Graz.

Um den Übungsmodus spielen zu können ist eine Registration bei https://schule.learninglab.tugraz.at notwendig.

[publication] Development of an English Vocabulary Trainer for German Speaking Pupils and other Beginners of English with Focus on Learning Analytics #LearningAnalytics

Our publication about „Development of an English Vocabulary Trainer for German Speaking Pupils and other Beginners of English with Focus on Learning Analytics“ in the International Journal of Computer and Information Technology got published.

Abstract:

Neuhold [1] developed a software for children to practice additions and subtractions, including tools to analyze the learner produced data to better understand this learning process and help teachers in finding appropriate measures to eliminate mistakes. Following this example we investigated in second language vocabulary acquisition (cf. [2, 3, 4]) and developed a functional prototype of an English vocabulary trainer in the field of learning analytics (LA), which aims at assessing learners’ vocabulary competence to support teachers in decisions on appropriate interventions. The software prototype is mainly based on the lexical approach to language teaching (cf. [2, 5, 3]), our own teaching experiences and especially theories on the mental lexicon (cf. [2, 6]) were used for the realization of various analysis tools. Our working prototype points out how learning analytics can help to improve language learning in future classrooms.

[publication] A STEM MOOC for School Children – What Does Learning Analytics Tell us? #imoox

Our contribution at this year ICL Conference in Florence, Italy about „A STEM MOOC for School Children – What Does Learning Analytics Tell us?“ is now online available. The slides have already been published here.
Abstract:

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) have been tremendously spreading among Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) academic disciplines. These MOOCs have served an agglomeration of various learner groups across the world. The leading MOOCs platform in Austria, the iMooX, offers such courses. This paper highlights authors’ experience of applying Learning Analytics to examine the participation of secondary school pupils in one of its courses called “Mechanics in everyday life”. We sighted different patterns and observations and on the contrary of the expected jubilant results of any educational MOOC, we will show, that pupils seemingly decided to consider it not as a real motivating learning route, but rather as an optional homework.

[publication] Determining the Causing Factors of Errors for Multiplication Problems

Our chapter about „Determining the Causing Factors of Errors for Multiplication Problems“ as part of the book „Immersive Education“ got published.
Abstract:

Literature in the area of psychology and education provides domain knowledge to learning applications. This work detects the difficulty levels within a set of multiplication problems and analyses the dataset on different error types as described and determined in several pedagogical surveys and investigations. Our research sheds light to the impact of each error type in simple multiplication problems and the course of error types in problem-size.

[webinar] So macht Mathelernen Spaß! Gratis Bildungsinhalte für die Erlernung der Grundrechnungsarten

Am 22.10.2015 um 20.00 Uhr darf ich ein Webinar geben rund um das Thema „So macht Mathelernen Spaß! Gratis Bildungsinhalte für die Erlernung der Grundrechnungsarten“ und dabei unsere Mathematik-Applikationen vorstellen. Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf rege Teilnahme:

Die Additions-, Subtraktions-, Einmaleins-, Multiplikation- und Divisionstrainer können kostenfrei von Schulen oder sonstigen Lernenden verwendet werden. Im Hintergrund werden die Lerndaten ausgewertet. Die Übungen können also nicht nur frei verwendet werden, sondern man kann auch einsehen, welche Fehler systematisch auftreten um eine gezielte und vor allem auch individuelle Lernverbesserung erreichen zu können. Dieses noch junge Forschungsfeld ermöglicht auch neue Erkenntnisse in Bezug auf das Lernverhalten zu gewinnen.
Das Webinar gibt eine Übersicht, zeigt wie man die Applikationen nutzen kann und welche Mehrwerte diese gegenüber herkömmlichen Lehrbüchern haben.

[publication] Use of Learning-Analytics-Applications in Mathematic with Elementary Learners #LearningAnalytics

Our paper about „Use of Learning-Analytics-Applications in Mathematic with Elementary Learners“ got published in the International Journal of Academic Research in Education.
Abstract:

This paper describes a study about the use of learning analytical applications in everyday school life. The research study took place in an Austrian secondary school during the mathematics courses. The subjects of the courses were the four basic arithmetical operations in the set of the natural numbers. All together two mathematics classes with 46 children at the age of 10 to 11 participated in this study. The aim was to test the usefulness of mathematics trainers, developed by the University of Technology in Graz, under real conditions. Therefore, one of the classes was determined as the experimental group, which studied with the mathematics trainers. The other class was set as the control group. This class operated with traditional exercise sheets. A pre-test and post-test control-group study indicated that the use of mathematics trainers does not decrease learning outcomes, but it points out other benefits during the whole learning arrangement. These advantages include error analysis, time saving in comparing the homework and enjoying the work with the trainers.

[app] Divisionstrainer #App #LearningAnalytics

DivisionstrainerDer Divisionstrainer ist nun online, wie ich hier berichtet habe. Nun haben wir bereits eine iOS-App entwickelt die einerseits einen Trainingsmodus und andererseits eben den Übungsmodus implementiert hat.

The Online-System generates some Division questions with increasing difficulty levels. You can see your calculation and errors immediately after entering the solution. As a result, you are able to analyze your errors and improve your division skills.
If you play in online mode, you need an account from the learning lab of the TU Graz.

Um den Übungsmodus spielen zu können ist eine Registration bei https://schule.learninglab.tugraz.at notwendig.
