[publication] An Exploratory Mixed Method Study on H5P Videos and Video-Related Activities in a MOOC Environment #H5P #MOOC #imoox

Our article about „An Exploratory Mixed Method Study on H5P Videos and Video-Related Activities in a MOOC Environment“ got finally published:

In this paper, an exploratory mixed-method study is presented examining the video-related behavior of participants of a massive open online course (MOOC; N=1.238). Firstly, detailed log-file analysis of six videos has been carried out to compare clickstreams of videos with and without integrated H5P quiz integration. It shows quite different seeking and watching pattern behavior in video with H5P quizzes. In a second step, learners participated in an online questionnaire (N=707): Most of them see the quizzes in videos as always or mostly helpful (67%). The survey also shows that for many, taking notes, turning on subtitles, using the transcripts or even increasing the speed are important activities when learning with the videos in the MOOC. In a third step, interviews with ten MOOC participants are a source for qualitative insights in how the learners use the learning videos.

[publication] iMooX – a MOOC platform for all (universities) #imoox #mooc #tugraz

I wrote a short article about our MOOC platform iMooX.at:

Abstract:
iMooX.at is the Austrian MOOC platform founded in 2014. This platform offers free, openly licensed online courses for all, so called Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs). It aims to offer university education in an innovative and digital way.In this article, we will briefly look at the history of the platform and its main milestones till now. Finally, a few possible development steps will be pointed out and discussed.

We just wrote a short essay about the digital transformation in higher education and how we are able to describe the current situation. Therfore, we propose a stage model of digital transformation.

[publication] Digitale Transformation der Lehre an Hochschulen – ein Werkstattbericht #tugraz

Wir haben unsere Arbeiten der letzten Jahre zusammengefasst und beschrieben wie wir versuchen die digitale Transformation der Hochschullehre an der TU Graz zu gestalten und umzusetzen. Wie es uns gelingt müssen andere beurteilen, jedenfalls ist unser Bemühen groß und hat durchaus System, auch wenn es von außen nicht so scheinen mag 😂😂😂. Vielen Dank auch an meine vielen Mitstreiter:innen, insbesondere auch an die Mitautor:innenund dem besten Team der Welt 🥰.
Nun aber der Artikel über „Digitale Transformation der Lehre an Hochschulen – ein Werkstattbericht“

Zusammenfassung:
Der Einsatz von digitalen Technologien in der Lehre, um diese abwechslungsreicher, verteilter oder auch zugänglicher bzw. inklusiver zu gestalten, wird an vielen Hochschulen unterschiedlich systematisch betrieben. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt Digitalisierungsprojekte und entsprechende Erfahrungen der digitalen Transformation an der Technischen Universität Graz (TU Graz) am Beispiel Lehre. In Form eines Werkstattberichts werden die Aktivi- täten und Methoden der TU Graz und insbesondere der Organisationseinheit Lehr- und Lerntechnologien zur Begleitung und Einstufung der Digitalen Transformation unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Rolle der Covid-19-Pandemie beschrieben. Der Beitrag endet mit einer Reflexion der Erfahrungen, Ableitung von Einsichten und daraus folgenden Empfehlungen im Sinne der partizipativen und nachhaltigen Digitalisierung von Hochschulen.

[publication] Making of an Open Makerspace in a Secondary Vocational School in Austria: Development, Activities, User Behaviour and Gender Balance #makereducation #making #edil21

Our contribuation to this year ED-Media 2021 conference about „Making of an Open Makerspace in a Secondary Vocational School in Austria: Development, Activities, User Behaviour and Gender Balance“ got published. The slides are already here online.

Abstract:
This research shows the development process of an open makerspace on the premises of a higher secondary vocational school (HTL) in Austria from 2017 till today. It illustrates the need for this space, the acquisition of initial funding and the legal framework. User policy and machinery are presented, as well as safety and security systems. An insight on the organizational structure is given. We present regular dedicated maker classes and curricular integration of the makerspace for K-12 students. Makerspace activities like maker challenges and holiday camps for divergent participants like primary school children and girls are discussed and the role of females in engineering education and makerspaces is reviewed. Qualitative observations of different stakeholders are reproduced and supplemented by statistical data. We also show setbacks and difficulties due to the Corona crisis and give an overview of future maker initiatives.
