[publication] Is the iPhone a Ubiquitous Learning Device? A First Step Towards Digital Lecture Notes
Our contribution „Is the iPhone a Ubiquitous Learning Device? A First Step Towards Digital Lecture Notes“ to the book „Ubiquitous Learning – Strategies for Pedagogy, Course Design and Technology“ is now published and as draft version online available.
Abstract:
Computing conquers to mobile devices very quickly. Students are among the first to adopt to it even accelerate this progress. This opens new possibilities for teachers to reach and interact with their students but also increases the amount of information a learner has to cope with. This paper describes the idea and prototypical implementation of a method to use the Web and digital devices to ease the digitalization of lecture notes and thus accessibility of information gathered in the course of learning.

[publication] The World of Widgets – An Important Step towards a Personalised Learning Environment
Our publication at this year PLE Conference in Southampton about „The World of Widgets – An Important Step towards a Personalised Learning Environment“ is now online available. The slides have already been published here.
Abstract:
The learning environment of the future must be more individualised and personalised – for years this is one of the international demands in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) and teaching. Since fall 2010 Graz University of Technology provides a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) based on mashup of widgets connecting various web applications. The publication aims to give a first demonstration of the way these PLE widgets can be converted to run on all common desktop Operating Systems (OS) to increase the range for individualisation of learning activities. After a short introduction we present an overview about the possibilities of the PLE-converter, discuss the working prototype and conclude with an answer to the question of an online framework for the widgets as well as desktop variants for usual operating systems.

[publication] Lehrbuch einmal anders
Unser Artikel über L3T in der Zeitschrift Wirtschaft & Berufserziehung über „Lehrbuch einmal anders – Das frei zugängliche Lehrbuch für Lernen und Lehren mit Technologien“ ist als Entwurfsversion nun online verfügbar.
Zusammenfassung:
Seit Februar 2011 gibt es mit dem „Lehrbuch für Lernen und Lehren mit Technologien“ ein neues und auch neuartiges Lehrbuch für Studierende und Lehrende im Bereich des technologiegestützten Lernens. Es unterscheidet sich in den Themen und der Aufbereitung der Texte von den vorhandenen Sammelwerken und Büchern des deutschsprachigen Angebots. Hinzu kommt, dass es sich nicht um ein traditionelles Lehrbuch handelt: Alle Kapitel sind kostenlos im Web zugänglich (via https://l3t.eu), auch in mobilen Varianten und durch ein weiteres zusätzliches Angebot ergänzt. Schließlich wurden auch bei der Entstehung des Lehrbuchs bekannte Pfade verlassen. In diesem Beitrag berichten die Initiatoren und Herausgeber des Lehrwerks über seine Inhalte, die Zugangsmöglichkeiten sowie seine Entstehung.

[publication] Shadow Expert Technique (SET) for interaction analysis in educational systems
Our publication on „Shadow Expert Technique (SET) for interaction analysis in educational systems“ for this year HCII International 2011 is as draft version online available.
Abstract:
This paper describes a novel usability method called Shadow Expert Technique (SET), which was applied on the learning management system of the Graz University of Technology in two different trials, with focus on consistency and visual complexity. This is the summary of the development of this new method and the approach to generalize it as a new way to get deeper insight into interaction processes.

[publication] First steps towards an integration of a Personal Learning Environment at university level
Our publication on „First steps towards an integration of a Personal Learning Environment at university level“ for this year ICT 2011 conference is now online available as draft version. The slides have been already published here.
Abstract:
Personalization is seen as the key approach to handle the plethora of information in today’s knowledge-based society. It is expected that personalized teaching and learning will efficiently address learner needs. The education of the future will change as a result of the influence of Web 2.0 content typified by a steadily increasing supply of data. This means that the students of tomorrow will regularly have to deal with sharing and merging content from different sources. Therefore, mashup technology will become a very important lens by which to focus on individual learning needs and enable personalized access to particular information. The following paper describes the challenges of Personal Learning Environments at higher education institutions. In the first section, the concept of Personal Learning Environments is presented, while the second section discusses the new challenges that arise for learning with the help of Personal Learning Environments. The third section describes the technical background of Personal Learning Environments and the widget standard in general. In section four, a first prototype of a personal learning environment will be presented, which is integrated into the learning culture at the Technical University of Graz. A detailed description of the available widgets for the prototype, along with a first expert evaluation, is provided. Finally, the conclusion of the article consolidates the main points of the paper and present plans for future research together with the prospective developments.

[publication] Game Based Learning in Secondary Education: Geographical Knowledge of Austria
Our publication on „Game Based Learning in Secondary Education: Geographical Knowledge of Austria“ at this year ED-Media Conference in Lisbon is now online available. The slides have been already published here.
Abstract:
An educational, interactive flash game, iGeo, was developed at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) with the intent to assist secondary school students with studying Geography. Objective: Our main research question was to find out whether challenging online games can motivate students to learn and achieve reach better results as a non-assisted group. Experimental Setting: The application was tested for the first time in a class with seventeen pupils at lower secondary school level. Methods: Pretest/posttest experimental control group design with questionnaires. Results: The group learning with iGeo reached significantly better results than the control group in the final examination. Additionally, it can be mentioned that learning by playing a game is more “enjoyable” for the participants. Conclusion: According to the results and the general impression of the students, Game Based Learning (GBL) has definitely a positive impact on the field of secondary education, in this case Geography.
