[publication] Learning Analytics Cockpit for MOOC Platforms #imoox #LearningAnalytics

Our article about an important extension for iMooX titled „Learning Analytics Cockpit for MOOC Platforms“ got publishes now. Enjoy reading 🙂
Abstract:

Within the sector of education, Learning Analytics (LA) has become an interdisciplinary field aiming to support learners and teachers in their learning process. Most standard tools available for Learning Analytics in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) do not cater to the individual’s conception of where Learning Analytics should provide them with insights and important key figures. We propose a prototype of a highly configurable and customizable Learning Analytics Cockpit for MOOC-platforms. The ultimate goal of the cockpit is to support administrators, researchers, and especially teachers in evaluating the engagement of course participants within a MOOC. Furthermore, comparing learner’s individual activity to course wide average scores should enhance the self-assessment of students, motivate their participation, and boost completion rates. Therefore, several metrics were defined which represent and aggregate learner’s activity. From this predefined list, stakeholders can customize the cockpit by choosing from multiple visualization widgets. Although, the current prototype focuses only on a minimal group of stakeholders, namely administrators and researchers. Therefore, it is designed in a modular, highly configurable and customizable way to ensure future extensibility. It can be strongly carried out that customization is integral to deepen the understanding of Learning Analytic tools and represented metrics, to enhance the student’s learning progress.

[publication] Why Will Technology Enhanced Language Learning be Essential for Pupils? #LearningAnalytics

Our publication about „Why Will Technology Enhanced Language Learning be Essential for Pupils?“ got published in the Bulletin of the Technical Committee on Learning Technology.
Abstract:

The availability of personal digital devices in schools and at home are offering new ways of engaging students in the area of language learning. In this publication, we present a new approach on writing and blogging for children aged 8 to 12 years, which is especially helpful for those who struggle with the acquisition of German orthography. On a web-based platform the pupils can write essays and blog them later on. Combined with learning analytics methods we offer individualized feedback during the process of writing and a training database with appropriate exercises to support the students‘ autonomous learning.

[publication] Bildungskonzil: Denkraum „Strategie – Wissenschaft“ #tugraz

Im Nachgang des Bildungskonzils ist nun wieder eine Zusammenfassung erschienen, wo ich den Beitrag für den Denkraum „Strategie – Wissenschaft“ beisteuren durfte.

Der Denkraum „Strategie – Wissenschaft“ hatte zum Ziel sich mit den Auswirkungen der Künstlichen Intelligenz auf die Bildung zu beschäftigen. Insbesondere sollte dabei der wissenschaftliche Sektor im Zentrum sein.

[blogpost] Inverse Blended Learning – How to Deal with MOOCs More Successfully #tugraz #research #InverseBlendedLearning #MOOC

Sandra and I did a short blogpost for our colleagues in Philadelphia about our didactical approach of „Inverse Blended Learning„, based on our MOOC-research

We guess that all innovative educators especially in the field of educational technology love to work with MOOCs. We simply get the possibility to teach a broad audience and are working with learners really interested in the stuff. In recent years, the number of those courses have increased while impressive educational institutions report successful experiences.

[journal] International Journal of Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Education (iJAI) #learninganalytics

I am very proud to announce a rather new journal – called „International Journal of Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Education (iJAI)„. I will assist the Journal as Deputy Editor:

The newly launched International Journal of Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence for Education (www.i-jai.org) aims to increase knowledge and understanding of ways in which learning analytics (LA) and artificial intelligence (AI) can support and enhance education. As such the journal aims to connect researchers and other stakeholders that share a common interest in understanding learning and teaching and improving learning and teaching with the support of LA and AI. Thus the journal aims to bridge the gap between pure academic research journals and more practical publications.

We are asking for contributions in following areas:

  • Analysing Learner’s Activity, Engagement, and Motivation
  • Modeling Learning and Teaching in Different Environments (online, blended and physical environments)
  • Evaluation and Development of Teaching Practices and Learning Designs
  • Application of Machine Learning, Educational Data Mining, and Predictive Analytics
  • Social Network Analysis and Network Modelling Tools
  • Supporting and Developing Assessment and Feedback Practices
  • Supporting Personalised and Adaptive Learning
  • Analyzing and Improvement of Learning Organisations based on Data
  • Development of new Methods and Theories
  • AI applications in the educational domain

[webinar] Learning and instruction videos: design, production, use #tugraz #eduhub

In July I will give a short webinar about „Learning and instruction videos: design, production, use“ based on our long tradition in doing videos especially for the MOOC-platform iMooX.at:

The talk comes up with the topic of learning and instruction videos and shows the current forms of application. Different formats as well as creation possibilities are presented, which can be converted by today’s technologies partly also with manageable financial resources. In addition, theoretical approaches concerning the instructional design are addressed. In order to facilitate the production of learning and instructional videos in the future, a template for the development of learning and instructional videos, the „Learning-Video-Canvas“, shows how to approach the planning of video projects for learning issues.

The participation is free and I like to thank the eduhub-community for hosting this talk: [Free registration for the webinar]
