[publication] Weiterbildung und Zertifizierung von Lehrenden. Varianten der Absprachen und Hochschulkooperation im deutschsprachigen Raum #OER #OpenEducation #OEAA

Unsere Publikation zu „Weiterbildung und Zertifizierung von Lehrenden. Varianten der Absprachen und Hochschulkooperation im deutschsprachigen Raum“ im Rahmen des Buches „Uncertainty in Higher Education, Hochschulen in einer von Volatilität geprägten Welt“ ist nun erschienen.

Zusammenfassung:
Lehrende an Hochschulen bilden sich weiter und können sich ihre Kompetenzen mit Teilnahmebescheinigungen und anderen Zertifikaten bestätigen lassen. Hochschuldidaktische Kompetenzen oder auch Sprachkenntnisse werden so in Habilitationsverfahren oder beim Arbeitgeberwechsel nachweisbar. Für Lehrende an Fachhochschulen, Pädagogischen Hochschulen und Universitäten gibt es dabei unterschiedliche Angebote, auch hochschuleigene und hochschulübergreifende. In diesem Beitrag werden sechs Fallbeispiele aus Deutschland und Österreich vorgestellt, bei denen mindestens zwei Hochschulen Kooperationen eingegangen sind: Es werden im Beitrag Vereinbarungen vorgestellt, die es Hochschulen erleichtern sollen, fremde Teilnahmebescheinigungen angemessen zu berücksichtigen und auch eine Reihe von Kooperationsformen, bei denen Hochschulen gemeinsam Weiterbildungsprogramme und Zertifikate anbieten. Der Beitrag schließt mit einer Darstellung von Formen und Motiven der Hochschulkooperationen bei Weiterbildungen für die (eigenen) Lehrenden.

[publicaton] Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and ChatGPT in education – a first rapid literature review #ai #chatgpt #tugraz #research

We did a first rapid literature review about chatGPT is used in education settings. Our paper titled „Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and ChatGPT in education – a first rapid literature review“ for the EDMedia and Innovative 2023 conference in Vienna is now online available.

Abstract: The usage of AI, more precisely ChatGPT, is almost embedded in our everyday routine. It reduces the time, effort, and cost of performing boring and now also very delicate tasks. It appears that ChatGPT knows everything and knows how to explain everything in a personalized and peculiar way, adjusted to the user’s preferences. In this paper, we will explore how ChatGPT can be used in higher education and what its limitations are, if any at all. We shall endeavor to examine both the advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT in education and state of the art. We will use a literature review as our research method to explore and find the necessary answers. We will explore and use various scientific articles, newspaper articles, blog posts, and other relevant literature from many authors. Our results and conclusion will show how to use ChatGPT in the best way in education and what to look out for now that ChatGPT is still available to everyone.

[publication] Mobile Gramabot: Development of a Chatbot App for Interactive German Grammar Learning #ijet #chatbot

Our publication „Mobile Gramabot: Development of a Chatbot App for Interactive German Grammar Learning“ got published in the International Journal of Emerging Technologien in Learning.

Abstract:
This study aims to develop the Gramabot application as a means of online learning during the pandemic and to examine its effectiveness as a medium for German grammar learning. The design-based research uses learning experience design methodology. Beside an introduction of the state of the art of chatbots for language learning, the paper describes the concept of the chatbot application and its evaluation. Prior experiences with chatbots, implementation experiences and evaluations insights were obtained from 36 Indonesian students with beginner level German language skills. The data were described using qualitative and simple descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the analysis show that most of the respondents are familiar with several chatbot applications, the use of chatbots is not as a learning medium, but as a means of asking questions about products. In addition, String Matching is a suitable method used to develop Gramabot. Based on the results of the evaluation, it can be concluded that Gramabot can help students understand basic level grammatical material.

[publication] Students in Focus – Moving Towards Human-Centred Learning Analytics #LearningAnalytics #LearnersCorner #tugraz #LA

We are very proud that we can announce another research article about our successful Learning Analytics project titled „Students in Focus – Moving Towards Human-Centred Learning Analytics„. It got published with the book Practicable Learning Analytics.

Abstract:
Human-centred design is a well-established approach within research fields such as human-computer interaction, ergonomics, and human factors. Recently Learning Analytics (LA) researchers and practitioners have manifested great interest in exploring methods and techniques associated with this approach to manage the design process in ways that can enhance human interaction with LA technology. The project “Learning Analytics – Students in Focus” aims to use student-related data to support the learning and teaching process in a higher educational context. Our interdisciplinary team investigates LA tools that leverage students’ academic success by acquiring or developing self-regulated learning skills. We adopted a Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) approach involving students, teachers, and other educational stakeholders in the iterative design of our LA tools. This article contributes to the discussion on how to design LA tools using a human-centred approach. We describe the analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation process of three LA tools comprised in our students’ dashboard, i.e., the planner, the activity graph, and the learning diary. In addition, we present key results gained in several empirical studies which had an implication on the tools’ design. Finally, we provide insights about our experience with the HCLA approach, pointing out benefits and limitations in practice.

[publication] Perspective Chapter: Implementation of MOOCs for Microcredentials and European University Alliances #imoox #mooc #unite!

We are happy that we can announce our newest contribution for our UNITE! alliance titled „Perspective Chapter: Implementation of MOOCs for Microcredentials and European University Alliances„:

Abstract:
MOOCs are seen as an important measure to open up universities to new target groups. In this chapter, two new variants of the usage of MOOCs in European higher education are highlighted: First, openly licensed MOOCs can be used as part of microcredential offers with university accreditation. Second, openly licensed MOOCs can be made available to other universities as an integrated resource and offer within European University alliances. This chapter discusses legal (such as copyright issues), organizational (such as processes), and technical issues (such as LTI, eduGAIN) for these new developments. An important requirement for this is that MOOCs are available as open educational resources (OER): Open licenses that allow the reuse, modification, and republication of educational resources (“open education resources”) are another opportunity to open up and share university offers. This chapter is based on experiences of the national Austrian MOOC platform iMooX.at, the microcredential implementation of Graz University of Technology, as well as first ideas concerning the integration of openly licensed MOOCs within the unite! University alliance of nine European technical universities.
