[publication] OER Impact Assessment: A framework for higher education institutions and beyond. Approaches to assess the impact of Open Educational Resources #OER #research #OEAA

Our publication about „OER Impact Assessment: A framework for higher education institutions and beyond. Approaches to assess the impact of Open Educational Resources“ got published.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of approaches to and insights for impact assessment on open educational resources (OER) in higher education and building on this to sketch a framework for university focussed OER impact assessment. The authors describe the literature on impact assessment in the OER context and the existing contributions to OER impact assessment in higher education. Findings of the analysis are that there are few contributions on the effects of OER in general or of specific OER initiatives. Four contributions are presented in more detail. From these examples and the literature analysis, derivations, and challenges for OER impact assessment are drawn, such as the large diversity in OER purposes and the invisibility of the re-usage of OER. The contribution sketches a framework model for describing OER-relevant results, outcomes, and impact, and more specifically demonstrates how this can be done for exemplary OER-related objectives. This contribution is thus of relevance to funding bodies and institutions working in the context of higher education that wish to systematically evaluate and monitor statements about the effectiveness of OER activities according to the UNESCO (2019) OER recommendation.

[publication] Strategien zu offenen Bildungsressourcen an österreichischen öffentlichen Universitäten #OER #gmw2022

Bei der GMW 2022 haben wir eine Publikation zu „Strategien zu offenen Bildungsressourcen an österreichischen öffentlichen Universitäten“ eingereicht, wo wir systematisch die Leistungsvereinbarungen der österreichischen Universitäten hinsichtlich OER untersucht haben.

Zusammenfassung:
Bezugnehmend auf eine Analyse der Rolle von offenen Bildungsressourcen (OER für „Open Educational Resources“) in den Leistungsvereinbarungen österreichischer öf- fentlicher Universitäten der Jahre 2019–2021 (Edelsbrunner, Ebner & Schön, 2021) werden in diesem Beitrag die Entwicklungen des vergangenen Jahres in Bezug zu OER und den Hochschulen in Österreich beschrieben. Zentral ist dabei die Analyse der neuen Leistungsvereinbarungen der 22 öffentlichen österreichischen Universitäten für die Periode 2022–2024 und der Nennung von OER-Aktivitäten. Dabei wird auf- gezeigt, dass nun alle öffentlichen Universitäten OER in den Leistungsvereinbarungen erwähnen, 16 der 22 Universitäten planen sogar weitreichende OER-Aktivitäten. Auch haben weitere Hochschulen OER-Strategien veröffentlicht.

[publication] Using learning analytics to improve the educational design of MOOCs #MOOC #imoox

Our article about „Using learning analytics to improve the educational design of MOOCs“ got published now in the International Journal of Education and Learning.

Abstract:
In recent years, the interest in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and Learning Analytics research have highly increased in the areas of educational technologies. The emergence of new learning technologies requires new perspectives on Educational Design. When the areas of MOOCs, Learning Analytics and Instructional Design developed, the interest and connection between these three concepts became important for research. Learning Analytics provides progress information and other individualized support in MOOC settings where teachers are not able to provide learners with individual attention, which would be possible in a traditional face-to-face setting. Through collective views over the learning process, the overall progress and performance are indicated. Moreover, results can lead to Educational Design improvements. Every time a learner interacts with the system, data is created and collected. Many Educational Designers do not take advantage of this data and thereby, losing the possibility to impact the course design in a powerful way. This research work strongly focuses on the implication of Learning Analytics for Educational Design in MOOCs. Many methods and algorithms are used in the analytical learning process in MOOCs. Currently, a great variety of learning data exists. First, well-known Instructional Design patterns from different models were collected and listed. In a second step, through the collected data is used to point out which of these patterns can be answered by using Learning Analytics methods. The findings of the study show that it is possible to better understand which environments and experiences are best suited for learning by analyzing students‘ behaviors online. These results have great potential for a rapidly and easier understanding and optimization of the learning process for educators.

[keynote] 9th International Conference on Computer Technology Applications (ICCTA 2023) #conference #research

Martin is invited to give a keynote talk at 9th International Conference on Computer Technology Applications (ICCTA 2023) in May 2023. He will give an overview and insights about our running projects on MOOCs, Learning Analytics and Open Educational Resources.

Abstract of the talk:
In this talk the different research fields of MOOCs, Learning Analytics and OER are addressed and brought together. Over a couple of years now, different proponents announcing MOOS or OER or Learning Analytics. Nevertheless, the idea is to put all the research results together and provide it as a service for education, especially in Higher Education.
Using the example from Graz University of Technology the talk will provide insights how we can deal with it in the future based on research findings and hands-on experiences with real student data.

We would be happy if you join us in Vienna next year: [conference website]

With this announcement I would like to wish you merry christmas and a happy, healthy year 2023 – I will be back after my holidays in January 2023. Hopefully we got a little bit of snow in our mountains, because I would love to make some tours with my skis 🙂
Feel free to take a look to my tour descriptions to get an idea what I am taking about: [Link to profile @ Alpenverein]

[publication] Attraktive Lösungen für Open Educational Resources aus dem österreichischen Hochschulraum – ein Werkstattbericht von Open Education Austria Advanced #OER #OEAA

Unsere gemeinsame Publikation im Open Education Austria Advanced Projekt ist nun erschienen mit dem Titel „Attraktive Lösungen für Open Educational Resources aus dem österreichischen Hochschulraum – ein Werkstattbericht von Open Education Austria Advanced“.

Zusammenfassung:
Open Education Austria Advanced ist ein Projekt mehrerer österreichischer Universitäten, das attraktive Lösungen für OER als Gesamtprojektziel verfolgt. Diese äußern sich im Rahmen eines OERhub (zentrale Meta-Suchmaschine für OER aus dem gesamten öst. Hochschulraum), dem Aufbau von lokalen OER-Repositorien und einer nationalen Zertifizierungsstelle mit passenden Qualifizierungsangeboten. Der weitreichende Wissenstransfer des Projekts in die österreichischen Hochschulen an der Schnittstelle von Bibliotheken, Zentralen IT-Services und Teaching & Learning Zentren trägt zur Sichtbarmachung und Nutzung von Synergien aus Open Science und Open Education bei, um einen Beitrag zur freien Nutzung von Bildungsinhalten aus der (Hochschul-)Lehre zu leisten und offene Praktiken analog zur Forschung zu etablieren (Open Access, Open Data).
