[publication] The Use of Gamification in Gastronomic Questionnaires

We did a short publication about „The Use of Gamification in Gastronomic Questionnaires“ for the International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM).

Abstract:
Obtaining customer opinions and customer wishes is increasingly becoming an important part of any entrepreneurial activity for determining customer satisfaction and, subsequently, optimizing products and services as well as strengthen customer loyalty. In catering, there are several ways to capture the guest’s satisfaction or dissatisfaction, as well as customer preferences and customer needs across different channels. One way to obtain a customer’s opinion is to provide a digital online questionnaire. Unfortunately, the participation of guests in such surveys is usually low. In addition, many online questionnaires are aborted prematurely, and questions which require an individual text answer are often left unanswered. Gamification is a process to use game ele-ments, game techniques and game mechanics from games in a different context in order to motivate and force people to do certain activities. This paper discusses whether the use of game elements in an existing gastronomical online questionnaire enhances the engagement of users and whether customer satisfac-tion remains the same. Based on an existing gastronomical online questionnaire from the company ITELL.SOLUTIONS GmbH a gamified questionnaire vari-ant has been developed. Game elements such as points, badges, avatar, story, progress bar and instant feedback have been included. The investigation showed that the use of gamification in questionnaires on open questions did not worsen the involvement of users. The customer satisfac-tion remained unchanged by the embedding of game elements too. Users of the expanded game questionnaire tended to give more precise and longer answers. The completion time also slightly increased for the gamified questionnaire. A direct comparison between the two variants of the questionnaire, showed that users preferred the design of the gamified questionnaire.

[mooc] MOOC zu „Lehren und Lernen mit digitalen Medien I“ startet wieder #lul20

Auch heuer wird der MOOC zu „Lehren und Lernen mit digitalen Medien I“ gestartet. Parallel zur Lehrveranstaltung für alle Lehramtsstudierenden des Entwicklungsverbund Süd-Ost werden wir in 6 Wochen in die Grundbegriffe des technologiegestützten Lehrens und Lernens einführen:

Dieser MOOC beschäftigt sich, wie der Titel bereits voraussagt, mit dem Einsatz von digitalen Medien sowohl beim Lehren als auch beim Lernen. Es geht dabei vorranging um eine erste Einführung in den großen Themenkomplex und soll helfen, entsprechende Medienkompetenzen für den eigenen Unterricht zu erwerben.
Dabei werden neben Definitionen und Erklärungen auch Praxisbeispiele gezeigt sowie Tipps und Tricks für den Unterrichtsalltag gegeben, sodass im Anschluss ein erster eigener Einsatz möglich sein soll. Die Inhalte richten sich vorerst speziell an Studierende des Lehramts aller Unterrichtsfächer, aber natürlich auch an im Beruf stehende Lehrerinnen und Lehrer sowie an alle interessierten Personen, die mehr über die Einsatzmöglichkeiten digitaler Medien erfahren wollen.

Beschreibung auf iMooX.at

Selbstverständlich ist der MOOC offen für alle und man kann sich kostenlos dafür einschreiben:

[publication] Potential of Bots for Encyclopedia #tugraz #research #bot

We are very pleased that our short chapter about „Potential of Bots for Encyclopedia“ for the special issue on „Digital Heritage and Related Tools„ got pusblished.

Abstract:
The wide range of applications and the capability to process and understand natural languages made chatbots very popular. Besides that, many applications chatbots are also used as information retrieval tools. Chatbots are changing the way users search for information. This document focuses on a chatbot that is used as an information retrieval tool. The chatbot enables information search in natural language in a geography domain. In case of a large number of search results, the chatbot engages users with clarification questions. It also provides support to users when uploading multimedia content to the website.

[publication] Microblogging with Padlet: Students’ New Writing Experience on A2–B1 Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) #microblogging #research

I did together with my colleagues from Indonesia a small piece of research about „Microblogging with Padlet: Students’ New Writing Experience on A2–B1 Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)„.

Abstract:
This research work aims to answer the question, compared to conventional media, whether the use of Padlet as a microblogging platform can improve students‘ German writing skills for A2 – B1 level CEFR standard. Students in the class A wrote with conventional paper sheet. Meanwhile, students in the class B wrote essay writing assignment through the Padlet platform. The study took place in Malang, Indonesia and lasted for one semester. In summary 45 students participated. The pre-test data indicated that there is no difference in the results of the pre-test in the control class and experiment class. The post test scores were obtained from two writing assessments in both classes. The test results indicated the data value sig 0.326 in the ANOVA table, which means that there are no differences in the post-test results in the two classes. Thus, it was concluded that the use of Padlet in microblogging activities in writing did not affect the results of student writing scores. Nevertheless, the use of Padlet has not any disadvantages, whereas students get additonal digital skills and respond additionally positively to the use of Padlet.
