[publication] Ein offenes Unterrichtskonzept für den Einstieg in die Programmierung mit Hilfe von „Pocket Code“#pocketcode #bildungsinformatik

Wir wurden eingeladen für ein Sonderheft rund um das Thema “CODING als Baustein der digitalen Bildung” einen Beitrag einzureichen und haben hier unsere Arbeiten rund um den Einsatz von PocketCode an Schulen beschrieben. Den Kurs den wir beschreiben findet man übrigens hier.

Abstract:

Pocket Code ist eine im Zuge des Non-Profit-Projektes „Catrobat“ an der Technischen Universität Graz entwickelte mobile App, mit der Programme am Smartphone oder Tablet erstellt werden können (vgl. Slany, 2014). Catrobat bezeichnet auch die gleichnamige blockbasierte Programmiersprache, welche nach dem Vorbild von Scratch entwickelt wurde. Pocket Code erlaubt es den Schülerinnen und Schülern im Gegensatz zu Scratch, jederzeit und jederorts ihre eigenen Smartphones zum Programmieren zu verwenden

[publication] PDM field study and evaluation in collaborative engineering education #research

At this year ICL 2017 conference in Budapest, Hungary we did a publication on “PDM field study and evaluation in collaborative engineering education“. Andreas did the presentation and the introduction to his PhD-work.

Abstract:

Collaboration in general but especially between students of Austrian Federal Secondary Colleges of Engineering (HTL) is becoming more and more important. Therefore, the joint diploma thesis has been introduced into the cur- riculum. Furthermore, joint student projects have become a crucial topic within the subject of mechanical engineering design. Because of the worldwide activi- ties of most companies, being able to collaborate within a huge team is seen as an essential for future jobs. To support the collaboration process in engineering education, a product data management (PDM) system was introduced to several Austrian HTLs within projects carried out in the Sparkling Science program of the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science and Research. In the academic year 2016/17 a field study was started to figure out how to enhance collaboration be- tween students by using this kind of software and methods. The outcome of this study will be to find out about the level of collaboration within students’ design projects.

[radio] Roboter im Unterricht

Es freut uns, dass es einen kleinen Beitrag von unseren Aktivitäten rund um die informatorische Grundbildung in Ö1 gibt mit dem Titel “Roboter im Unterricht“. Es werden dort die Ozobots vorgestellt:

Technik nur zu nutzen ist etwas ganz Anderes, als hinter ihre Fassaden zu blicken und sie eventuell sogar selbst anzupassen oder zu steuern. Im Gymnasium Hartberg in der Steiermark versucht man diesen aktiven Zugang zu neuen Technologien über kostengünstige Mini-Roboter namens Ozobot zu verwirklichen. Die Schülerinnen und Schüler programmieren sie selbst. Von diesem Projekt in Kooperation mit der Technischen Universtät Graz berichtet Sylvia Andrews.

[publication] How can Gamification Improve MOOC Students Engagement?

Our contribution to this year 11th European Conference on Games Based Learning (ECGBL) is about our Gamifications experiments within MOOCs. The publication is titled “How can Gamification Improve MOOC Students Engagement?”

Abstract:

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) require students’ motivation either intrinsically or extrinsically to complete any of its courses. Even though MOOCs enjoy great popularity and bring many benefits to the educational community, some concerns arise with MOOC advancement. In fact, MOOCs are affected by low completion rate and face issues with respect to interactivity and student engagement along MOOC duration, which may convert student excitement to boredom and then drop out at any stage. A key result of research in the past couple of years has proved that students’ engagement in MOOCs is strongly related to their activities online. These activities are related to the interaction between student and logging in the MOOC, reading and writing in the MOOC discussion forum, watching videos and doing quizzes. In this research paper, we present our research in deploying a gamification mechanic in MOOCs to increase student engagement. The gamification approach relies on weekly feedback to drive student intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Following learning analytics on students’ data from a MOOC offered in 2014, 2015, and 2016, the outcome of this approach showed an obvious increase in students’ activity and engagement in discussion forums, login frequency and quiz trials. The active students’ cohort allotment has increased in comparison with previous versions of the same MOOC as well as the completion rate has incremented up to 26% of the total number of participants.
