[publication] Entwicklung und Implementierung eines Plug-Ins und von APIs für offene Bildungsressourcen (OER)#oer #oeaa

Unser Beitrag zu „Entwicklung und Implementierung eines Plug-Ins und von APIs für offene Bildungsressourcen (OER)“ ist nach der erfolgreichen Tagung nun auch als Publikation erschienen.

Zusammenfassung
Um einen breiten Zugang zur Bildung und großzügige Nutzung von Bildungsressourcen zu ermöglichen, setzt auch die Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) auf offene Bildungsressourcen (Open Educational Resources, kurz OER). Der Beitrag beschreibt die technologischen Entwicklungen und Prozesse, damit Lehrende der TU Graz das eigene Lernmanagementsystem für die Veröffentlichung von OER nutzen können. Es wird im Beitrag nachgezeichnet wie Schnittstellen und Prozesse gestaltet wurden, um Lern-und Lehrressourcen der TU Graz mit entsprechenden Metadaten auszuzeichnen, um sie über das universitätseigene OER-Repositorium und entsprechenden Schnittstellen für das OER-Fachportal der Universität Wien einer breiten Öffentlichkeit recherchierbar anzubieten. Nur entsprechend qualifizierte Lehrende der TU Graz erhalten die Berechtigung für die Nutzung des neuen OER-Plug-In. Der Beitrag schließt mit Empfehlungen für Nachahmer/innen.

[publication] Learning Analytics and MOOCs #imoox #hci20 #research

Ebru did a first publication of her PhD-work titled „Learning Analytics and MOOCs“ for this year HCII conference.

Abstract:
There are new discoveries in the field of educational technologies in the 21st century, which we can also call the age of technology. Learning Analytics (LA) has given itself an important research field in the area of Technology Enhanced Learning. It offers analysis, benchmarking, review and development techniques for example in online learning platforms such as those who host Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). MOOCs are online courses addressing a large learning community. Among these participants, large data is obtained from the group with age, gender, psychology, community and educational level differences. These data are gold mines for Learning Analytics. This paper examines the methods, benefits and challenges of applying Learning Analytics in MOOCs based on a literature review. The methods that can be applied with the literature review and the application of the methods are explained. Challenges and benefits and the place of learning analytics in MOOCs are explained. The useful methods of Learning Analytics in MOOCs are described in this study. With the literature review, it indicates: Data mining, statistics and mathematics, Text Mining, Semantics-Linguistics Analysis, visualization, Social network analysis and Gamification areas are implementing Learning Analytics in MOOCs allied with benefits and challenges.

[publication] Experiences Based on a Major Information Server #tugraz #research

Together with my colleagues we published an article about „Experiences Based on a Major Information Server“ in the Journal of Transactions on Internet Research.

Abstract:
In this paper we describe lessons we have learnt from building up a webserver with reliable information over a period of ten years. We show how we have tried to overcome often encountered weaknesses and thus encourage the community to follow our suggestions. We also point out that much research and development work remains to be carried out.

[publication] Automated System Testing for a Learning Management System #ijet #research #tugraz

Our article about „Automated System Testing for a Learning Management System“ was published in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET).

Abstract:
Over the last years software development life-cycles have continuously been shortened and new releases are being deployed at a more and more frequent level. In order to ensure the quality of those releases, a strong shift towards automated testing at all testing levels has become noticeable throughout the software development industry. At system testing level, the scope of testing is the developed product as a whole, tested in a test environment that has a very close resemblance to the production system. Because of this system-wide scope and the many potential sources for failures, the implementation of automated tests at this level is challenging. Exhaustive testing is neither feasible nor maintainable, therefore proper designed test cases that cover important functionality are essential. Due to increasing laws and regulations on data protection and data privacy, proper management of test data used in automated testing is as important. This paper discusses how automated system tests for TeachCenter 3.0, Graz University of Technology’s learning management system, were implemented.

[publication] Learning Analytics in der Schule – Anforderungen an Lehrerinnen und Lehrer #tugraz #LearningAnalytics

Unser Beitrag zu „Learning Analytics in der Schule – Anforderungen an Lehrerinnen und Lehrer“ wurden nun in einem tollen Buch über „Bildung und Digitalisierung“ publiziert.

Zusammenfassung:
Dieser Beitrag ermöglicht eine kurze Einführung in das Themenfeld Learning Analytics mit einem besonderen Blick auf den Schulunterricht. Heute erscheint es noch weit entfernt, bis derartige Anwendungen im deutschsprachigen Raum flächendeckend Fuß fassen können. Durch die voranschreitende Technologie werden jedoch solche Anwendungen und die Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, inwieweit künstliche Intelligenz Aspekte der eigentlichen Lehre ergänzen und erset-zen kann, zunehmend zum Diskussionsgegenstand. Die vorliegende Publikation zielt darauf ab, Learning Analytics selbst und die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen zu definieren. Anschlie-ßend werden einige allgemeine Beispiele genannt, ehe auf zwei webbasierte Informationssysteme im Detail eingegangen wird-dem Einmaleins-Trainer und dem Programm zum Aufbau von Schreibkompetenz IDeRblog. Auf Basis der dort gewonnen Erkenntnisse und Erfahrungen werden drei wesentliche Anforderungen für Lehrerinnen und Lehrer abgleitet: statistische und digitale Kom-petenz sowie grundsätzliches Wissen im Bereich Datenschutz. Der Beitrag schließt mit der Frage, inwieweit diese zukünftig in die Lehrerbildung integriert werden können und müssen.

Zusammen mit Sandra Schön haben wir einen kurzen Beitrag zu „MOOCs planen und gestalten für Einsteiger*innen – mit Monstern und Canvas“ für den Blog des Hochschulforum Digitalisierung verfasst:

Was sind eigentlich MOOCs, wie bereitet man sie am besten vor und was können sie für die digitale Hochschullehre leisten? In diesem Blogbeitrag geht es um spielerische Tools, Open Access und die Demokratisierung von (digitaler) Lehre.

[Link zum Blogbeitrag]

Insbesondere stellen wir auch einen MOOC-Canvas vor, mit dem wir hoffen, dass wir Lehrende unterstützen können bei der MOOC-Erstellung.
