[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.

[blogbeitrag] MOOCs planen und gestalten für Einsteiger*innen – mit Monstern und Canvas #imoox #oer #hfd #tugraz

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.

[publication] The Development and Implementation of Missing Tools and Procedures at the Interface of a University’s Learning Management System, its OER Repository and the Austrian OER Referatory #OER #tugraz

 

How to develop missing tools and processes when impementing an OER repository and connect it with the Austrian wide OERhub.at? We document and explain our work in our latest publication:

To enable broad access to education and generous use of educational resources, Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) also relies on Open Educational Resources (OER). This article describes the technological developments and processes that enable teachers at TU Graz to use their own learning management system (LMS) for the publication of OER. The article describes how interfaces and processes have marked educational resources of TU Graz with metadata to offer them to a broad public via the university’s own OER repository and via the Austrian OER portal of the University of Vienna. Only appropriately qualified lecturers at TU Graz are authorized to use the new OER plug-in. The article concludes with recommendations for projects in OER infrastructure implementations.
