TELucation #tugraz #sammelmappe

Wir haben an der TU Graz ein neues Projekt gestartet – eine Sammelmappe mit allen wichtigen Infos für unsere Lehrenden rund um das Thema Technology Enhanced Learning. Wir wollen hiermit den Einstieg in die digtal gestützte Lehre erleichtern und unterstützen wo wir nur können. Als Teaser ist auch ein kleines Video entstanden, welches wir natürlich niemand vorenhalten wollen:

[publication] Insights into Learning Competence Through Probabilistic Graphical Models #tugraz #research

We contributed to this year „Third IFIP TC 5, TC 12, WG 8.4, WG 8.9, WG 12.9 International Cross-Domain Conference (CD-MAKE 2019)“ with a publication titled „Insights into Learning Competence Through Probabilistic Graphical Models„.

Abstract:

One-digit multiplication problems is one of the major fields in learning mathematics at the level of primary school that has been studied over and over. However, the majority of related work is focusing on descriptive statistics on data from multiple surveys. The goal of our research is to gain insights into multiplication misconceptions by applying machine learning techniques. To reach this goal, we trained a probabilistic graphical model of the students’ misconceptions from data of an application for learning multiplication. The use of this model facilitates the exploration of insights into human learning competence and the personalization of tutoring according to individual learner’s knowledge states. The detection of all relevant causal factors of the erroneous students answers as well as their corresponding relative weight is a valuable insight for teachers. Furthermore, the similarity between different multiplication problems – according to the students behavior – is quantified and used for their grouping into clusters. Overall, the proposed model facilitates real-time learning insights that lead to more informed decisions.

[publication] Scheduling Interactions in Learning Videos: A State Machine Based Algorithm #tugraz #Interactive

We did an article about „Scheduling Interactions in Learning Videos: A State Machine Based Algorithm“ for the first issue of the „International Journal of Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Education (iJAI)„.

Abstract:

Based on the currently developing trend of so called Massive Open Online Courses it is obvious that learning videos are more in use nowadays. This is some kind of comeback because due to the maxim “TV is easy, book is hard” [1][2] videos were used rarely for teaching. A further reason for this rare usage is that it is widely known that a key factor for human learning is a mechanism called selective attention [3][4]. This suggests that managing this attention is from high importance. Such a management could be achieved by providing different forms of interaction and communication in all directions. It has been shown that interaction and communication is crucial for the learning process [6]. Because of these remarks this research study introduces an algorithm which schedules interactions in learning videos and live broadcastings. The algorithm is implemented by a web application and it is based on the concept of a state machine. Finally, the evaluation of the algorithm points out that it is generally working after the improvement of some drawbacks regarding the distribution of interactions in the video.

[publication] Making – eine Bewegung mit Potenzial (merz 2019) #makereducation #making

Die aktuelle merz medien + erziehung hat den Schwerpunkt Making und Medienpädagogik, herausgegeben von Kristin Narr und Björn Maurer. Mit Martin Ebner durfte ich einen Beitrag zusteuern, der eine Einführung zum Thema gibt:

Making ist en vogue – medienpädagogische Projekte mit dem Fokus auf die kreative digitale Arbeit erhalten aktuell große Aufmerksamkeit. Doch was passiert eigentlich in einem Makerspace? Welche Werkzeuge kommen zum Einsatz? Was kann man sich unter Maker Education vorstellen? In diesem Beitrag werden
zunächst Besonderheiten des Making genannt und Meilensteine der Maker-Bewegung skizziert. Darauf aufbauend werden Merkmale der Maker Education und deren Potenzial beschrieben.

Das Heft ist beim Verlag zu bestellen, einen Vorabdruck haben wir bei Researchgate online gestellt.

[publication] Potentials of Chatbots for Spell Check among Youngsters #tugraz #chatbot #research #LearningAnalytic

We did an article about „Potentials of Chatbots for Spell Check among Youngsters“ for the first issue of the „International Journal of Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Education (iJAI)„.

Abstract:

Chatbots are already being used successfully in many areas. This publication deals with the development and programming of a chatbot prototype to support learning processes. This Chatbot prototype is designed to help pupils in order to correct their spelling mistakes by providing correction proposals to them. Especially orthographic spelling mistake should be recognized by the chatbot and should be replaced by correction suggestions stored in test data.
