Sandra was giving a lecture on „Research approaches and methods in technology-enhanced learning“ and therefore we did a rough translation of our L3T-chapter to make a hand out for the students.

Abstract:
This article offers an orientation on how research is done in technology-enhanced learning. Therefore, three different approaches to research in the interdisciplinary field will be presented first: hypothesis and theory testing, hypothesis and theory generating, and design oriented methods. Subsequently, some research methods are assigned to the research process – data collection, data analysis, development – and outlined. Finally, hints on the choice of a research method are given and a typical challenge in the field is mentioned.

[publication] Die Monster-MOOC-Weiterbildung – Erfahrungen mit der Übertragung eines interaktiven Präsenzworkshops in den digitalen Raum #covid19 #research #workshop

Einen interaktiven Workshop gestalten: geschenkt. Doch wie bringt man ihn in den virtuellen Raum? Ich habe die Herausforderung in der COVID-19-Krise angepackt und ein Workshopdesign, mit dem wir im Präsenzformat bei der Universität Passau (Lehre+ Hochschuldidaktik) gute Erfahrungen gemacht haben möglichst 1:1 in den virtuellen Raum übertragen und dort mit Lehrenden der FH Salzburg durchgeführt.

Im Beitrag wird das Konzept eines Präsenzworkshops zur Einführung von MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) für Lehrende an Hochschulen vorgestellt, wie es im Jahr 2013 mit hohen Anteilen von Interaktion und Gruppenarbeit entwickelt wurde. In der Folge der COVID-19-Krise und Umstellung auf Home Office und Online-Begegnungen wurde versucht, das methodisch-didaktische Konzept möglichst gleichartig in den digitalen Raum zu übertragen. Im Artikel wird beschrieben, welche Tools dabei zum Einsatz kamen und wie sie sich auf die Arbeitsweisen und -ergebnisse ausgewirkt haben.

Man kann jetzt nicht nur nachlesen wie wir Workshops für MOOC-Einsteiger/innen gestalten in Präsenz und Online gestalten, sondern auch, auf was man beim Übertragen ins Online-Format achten sollte.

[publication] Concepts for E-Assessments in STEM on the Example of Engineering Mechanics #eAssessment #STEMeducation #TEL

Our publication about „Concepts for E-Assessments in STEM on the Example of Engineering Mechanics“ got published in the International Journal for Emerging Technologies in Learning (i-JET).

Abstract:
We discuss if and how it is possible to develop meaningful e-assessments in Engineering Mechanics. The focus is on complex example problems, resembling traditional paper-pencil exams. Moreover, the switch to e-assessments should be as transparent as possible for the students, i.e., it shouldn’t lead to additional difficulties, while still maintaining sufficiently high discrimination indices for all questions. Example problems have been designed in such a way, that it is possible to account for a great variety of inputs ranging from graphical to numerical and algebraic as well as string input types. Thanks to the implementation of random variables it is even possible to create an individual set of initial values for every participant. Additionally, when dealing with complex example problems errors carried forward have to be taken into account. Different approaches to do so are detailed and discussed, e.g., pre-defined paths for sub-questions, usage of students’ previous inputs or decision trees. The main finding is that complex example problems in Engineering Mechanics can very well be used in e-assessments if the design of these questions is well structured into meaningful sub-questions and errors carried forward are accounted for.

E-Learning-Verantwortliche aus Unternehmen und Verwaltungen, d. h. Praktiker/innen ohne Vorkenntnisse zum Urheberrecht und offene Bildungsressourcen (kurz OER).

Lernziele: Die Teilnehmer/innen) kennen die Begrifflichkeiten rund um Open Content / OER wissen um die Vor- und Nachteile von Open-Content-Lizenzen und erhalten eine Übersicht über Quellen gemeinfreier sowie Bezahl-Inhalte.

[publication] Future Teacher Training of Several Universities with MOOCs as OER – Teaching in #COVID19 Pandemic. Stories from the field #imoox #mooc

#COVID19 was and is a big challenge for many people, for teachers as universities as well. And of course we love to share experiences we made or have seen at the TU Graz as well to enrich the contributions on teaching and learning with technologies in HEI.

This time we contributed to a book which collects 133 (!) experiences from colleagues worldwide, all available under CC BY NC ND. Please have look and check:

https://www.learntechlib.org/p/216903/

Our contribution describes:

To train future Austrian teachers in using digital media, a novel didactic design was implemented at several universities in Austria in summer semester 2019: The course includes the participation in a MOOC (massive open online course) on the topic, an accompanying group work at the universities and multiple-choice tests conducted at the universities. In the summer semester of 2020, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the group work and exams had to be switched to virtual space as well. Because the course materials are available under an open license, i.e. as open educational resources, further use is possible and offered.
