Digitale Lehre an und rund um der Technischen Universität Graz
Im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung “AK Medientechnologien” ist die App KiddyPaint entwickelt worden:
Spiel – Spaß – Spannung
- kindgerechte spannende Motive
- lustige Aninmationen
- einfachste Bedienung
- selbstsprechende Symbole
- extra entwickelt für die Kleinsten
Hier kann die App downgeloadet werden [Link] und alle weiteren verfügbaren Apps der TU Graz findet man hier [iTunes Link].
Im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung “AK Medientechnologien” ist die App iBubbleMath entwickelt worden:
iBubbles is a Math-Trainer especially developed and designed for kids from about 6 to 10. Simple multiplication (all tables up to ten) can be exercised in a playful way. Kids can choose between a trainingsmode and a quizmode. During the training there is no time pressure. To enhance the learning effect the player can guess several times until the right answer was chosen. In the quizmode the tasks should be solved as fast as possible to gain maximal points and to show up in the highscore. iBubbles is suitable for beginners as well as for advanced players as there are different difficulty levels selectable.

Im Rahmen der Lehrveranstaltung “AK Medientechnologien” ist die App GeoAustria entwickelt worden:
GeoAustria is a learning game for children. This game should give them a playful and easy access to geography. With the playful character of this game the children do not loose the desire of learning austrian geography. In the game it is possible to take a joker, which give you tips to current places. This tips will help the children to find the different places and they also will give them additional information to this places.

All Handouts for this year Workshop at ED-MEDIA Conference in Toronto on “M-Learning – on the Move towards a Wired Society?” are now online available in different formats for different devices:
Zeichnen/malen mit den Fingern kann man vergessen am iPad, daher gibt es auch schon erste findige Ansätze wie man einen Stift heranziehen könnte:
We will take part at the Mediacast Contest of this year PLE Conference 2010 with a short introduction of our current developments [YouTube Group]:
Nun ist es soweit – es hat etwas gedauert mit unserer universitätsweiten iPhone App-Store Lizenz, nun ist sie aber da und wir haben bereits die ersten drei Apps im Store untergebracht:
An dieser Stelle sei auch den Entwicklern (Studierende der TU Graz) gedankt, die dies im Rahmen von Lehrveranstaltungen erledigt haben und diese Apps nun frei zugänglich zur Verfügung stellen.
Ein von mir vertretene These ist nachwievor, dass die großen Sozialen Netzwerke erst dann wirklich genutzt werden, wenn ein entsprechendes mobiles Gerät (meistens eben ein Mobiltelefon) vorhanden ist. Also dass erst durch das ubiquitäre Dabeisein, ständig-on-sein usw. tatsächlich Mehrwerte in der Nutzung entstehen können.
Diese Grafik über mehrer Umfragen untermauert dies eigentlich ganz gut:

Our publicaton “M-Learning in the Field: A Mobile Geospatial Wiki as an Example for Geo-Tagging in Civil Engineering” pulblished in the book “Looking Toward the Future of Technology-Enhanced Education” is as Draft Version online available.
Abstract:
In subjects such as Civil Engineering, Architecture, Geology etc., education is mostly based on visual information. For example, in Civil Engineering every building can be seen as a unique object at a certain location. During the education of Civil Engineers many field based studies and excursions take place, however, not only the images but also geographical coordinates are essential. Wikis have been in use for collaborative learning for more than ten years. Mobile phones provide access to them from nearly everywhere. The availability of those technologies has led to rapid advances in the area of m-Learning and the possibility to apply challenging constructive educational concepts. Consequently, in this paper we describe the user centered design, development and evaluation of a combination of these technologies to support collaborative learning in the field: A Wiki-based mobile geospatial information system, the so-called TUGeoWiki. The primary objective of this geowiki is to provide a user-friendly tool for mobile collaborative learning for all areas where geo-tagged information could be useful. Moreover, TUGeoWiki was developed in order to provide the integration of external map material via map APIs including information such as that delivered by Google maps. Subsequently, it is possible to provide both highly detailed maps and satellite images without having the need to license such material. Furthermore, the user interfaces used by such tools is well established, due to the increasing number of mapping related mashups. The evaluation during an extensive field test within a large civil engineering excursion to various large-scale construction sites in Austria demonstrated that collaborative learning can be successfully supported by the application of a geowiki.

Ein weiteres, sehr gutes eBook ist als iPad App aufgetaucht: Das Periodensystem der Elemente unglaublich schön und anschaulich dargestellt.
