Our publication about „Concepts for E-Assessments in STEM on the Example of Engineering Mechanics“ got published in the International Journal for Emerging Technologies in Learning (i-JET).
Abstract:
We discuss if and how it is possible to develop meaningful e-assessments in Engineering Mechanics. The focus is on complex example problems, resembling traditional paper-pencil exams. Moreover, the switch to e-assessments should be as transparent as possible for the students, i.e., it shouldn’t lead to additional difficulties, while still maintaining sufficiently high discrimination indices for all questions. Example problems have been designed in such a way, that it is possible to account for a great variety of inputs ranging from graphical to numerical and algebraic as well as string input types. Thanks to the implementation of random variables it is even possible to create an individual set of initial values for every participant. Additionally, when dealing with complex example problems errors carried forward have to be taken into account. Different approaches to do so are detailed and discussed, e.g., pre-defined paths for sub-questions, usage of students’ previous inputs or decision trees. The main finding is that complex example problems in Engineering Mechanics can very well be used in e-assessments if the design of these questions is well structured into meaningful sub-questions and errors carried forward are accounted for.

Für den Lehrgang CAS eLearning und CAS eLearning Design (Luzern) unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Andréa Belliger haben wir im April 2019 das folgende Selbstlerndossier für OER im Schweizer Kontext erstellt: «Einstieg in das Urheberrecht und OER für E-Learning»
Das Dossier richtet sich an folgende Zielgruppe und verfolgt folgende Lernziele.
Zielgruppe: Das PDF-Dossier richtet sich an Lehrpersonen aller Bildungsbereiche und
E-Learning-Verantwortliche aus Unternehmen und Verwaltungen, d. h. Praktiker/innen ohne Vorkenntnisse zum Urheberrecht und offene Bildungsressourcen (kurz OER).Lernziele: Die Teilnehmer/innen) kennen die Begrifflichkeiten rund um Open Content / OER wissen um die Vor- und Nachteile von Open-Content-Lizenzen und erhalten eine Übersicht über Quellen gemeinfreier sowie Bezahl-Inhalte.
#COVID19 was and is a big challenge for many people, for teachers as universities as well. And of course we love to share experiences we made or have seen at the TU Graz as well to enrich the contributions on teaching and learning with technologies in HEI.
This time we contributed to a book which collects 133 (!) experiences from colleagues worldwide, all available under CC BY NC ND. Please have look and check:
Our contribution describes:
To train future Austrian teachers in using digital media, a novel didactic design was implemented at several universities in Austria in summer semester 2019: The course includes the participation in a MOOC (massive open online course) on the topic, an accompanying group work at the universities and multiple-choice tests conducted at the universities. In the summer semester of 2020, due to the COVID-19 crisis, the group work and exams had to be switched to virtual space as well. Because the course materials are available under an open license, i.e. as open educational resources, further use is possible and offered.

Am 6.7.2020 um 11.00 Uhr findet der nächste fnma-Talk zum Thema „Digital Tests, Examinations and Assessments – Chances and Challenges“ statt. Die Teilnahme ist wieder immer kostenlos und wird online gestreamt. Alexander Schulz wird dabei den Input geben:
Alexander Schulz koordiniert am Center für Digitale Systeme (CeDiS) der Freien Universität Berlin seit 2017 den Bereich E-Learning und E-Examinations. Zu dem Bereich gehören das E-Examination Center (EEC) und seit 2019 das E-Examination Center 2 (EEC2), die mit insgesamt mehr als 330 Prüfungsplätzen zu den größten digitalen Prüfungszentren im deutschsprachigen Raum gehören. Er beschäftigt sich seit 2005 mit digitalen Prüfungen und ist langjähriger Referent und Fachautor in diesem Bereich.

My PhD-Students wrote a chapter about the usage of Microsoft Hololens „Simulation data visualization using mixed reality with Microsoft HoloLensTM„. Now it got published within the book „New Perspectives on Virtual and Augmented Reality„.
Abstract:
Simulations and test beds are very difficult topics, especially for non-experienced students or new employees in the mechanical engineering domain. In this chapter, a HoloLens app and a CAD/Simulation workflow are introduced to visualize CAD models and sensor and simulation data of a test run on an air conditioning system test bed. The main challenge is to visualize temperature and pressure changes within opaque parts, such as tubes, compressors, condensers or electrical expansion valves. The HoloLens app supports various simulations and CAD visualizations. We exemplary implemented colouring the temperature or pressure changes of the test bed parts as Mixed-Reality (MR) overlays. The main purpose of the HoloLens app is to reduce the learning effort and time to understand such simulations and test bed settings. Additionally, the app could be used as a communication tool between different departments to transfer experiences and domain specific knowledge.
