[publication] MOOCs, Learning Analytics and OER: An Impactful Trio for the Future of Education! #imoox #OER #tugraz #LearningAnalytics

Our contribution to the CSEDU 2020 conference about „MOOCs, Learning Analytics and OER: An Impactful Trio for the Future of Education!“ got finally published. I did the presentation in May 2020 in the very beginning of the COVID19-pandemic and it was my first complete online keynote 🙂

Abstract:
This paper discusses the general thesis that massive open online courses (in short MOOC), open educational resources (in short OER) and learning analytics are an impactful trio for future education, especially if combined. The contribution bases upon our practical experience as service providers and researchers in the department “Educational Technology” at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in Austria. The team members provide support to lecturers, teachers and researchers in these addressed fields for several years now, for example as host of the MOOC platform iMooX.at, providing only OER since 2015. Within this contribution, we will show, against some doubtful or conflicting opinions and positions, that (a) MOOCs are opening-up education; (b) learning analytics give insights and support learning, not only online learning, if implemented in MOOCs; and (c) that OER has the potential for sustainable resources, innovations and even more impact, especially if implemented in MOOCs.

Im Rahmen eines Lehrauftrags an der PH Oberösterreich haben Sandra Schön und ich wieder einen zweitägigen Workshop zu den Themen OER und MOOCs angeboten. Als Arbeitsauftrag gilt es dabei auch, OER zu veröffentlichen. Wir freuen uns sehr, dass es damit wieder gelungen ist, vielen Knowhow und Spaß am OER-Machen vermitteln zu können – und natürlich auch darüber, dass es nun wieder vier Handvoll mehr OER gibt:

[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.

[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.
