[publication] Recommendations for OER Integration in Austrian Higher Education #fnma #OER #tugraz
Together with my colleagues of the austrian wide OER-working group we published our findings about „Recommendations for OER Integration in Austrian Higher Education“ at this year EADTU 2016 conference.
Abstract:
Open Educational Resources (OER) are considered an important instrument to increase access and to facilitate the reuse of learning content. Educational institutions, especially those in Higher Education, play a crucial role in the production of OER, since they are the main producers of learning materials. To foster this production, a national strategy or at a least a national commitment to OER is necessary. Moreover, due to the very strict copyright law in Austria, this achievement is of high importance and necessity. In this publication, we will introduce recommendations for the integration of OER in all Higher Education institutions in Austria; these were developed by a national workgroup consisting of different stakeholders (government, library, funder, Higher Education and special interest groups). The overall aim is to achieve sustainability for the educational sector, especially with regard to the usage of learning materials by different lecturers as well as institutions. The cooperation among various stakeholders on different levels needs to be in the centre of all further efforts, which should be based upon six explicit requirements:
- Mandatory commitment to OER
- Establishment of a nationwide information platform for exchange and cooperation
- Establishment of nationwide educational programmes for different stakeholders
- Establishment of national OER badges
- Targeted financial and structural promotion of OER
- Establishment of OER strategies within each institution and as a comprehensive approach
Each requirement will be described in more detail and a roadmap will illustrate how OER can be successfully integrated at Higher Education institutions in the next ten years.

[publication] When Learning Analytics Meets MOOCs – a Review on iMooX Case Studies #imoox #LearningAnalytics #MOOC
Our chapter on „When Learning Analytics Meets MOOCs – a Review on iMooX Case Studies“ got published within the book series Communications in Computer and Information Science.
Abstract:
The field of Learning Analytics has proven to provide various solu- tions to online educational environments. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are considered as one of the most emerging online environments. Its substantial growth attracts researchers from the analytics field to examine the rich repositories of data they provide. The present paper contributes with a brief literature review in both prominent fields. Further, the authors overview their developed Learning Analytics application and show the potential of Learning Analytics in tracking students of MOOCs using empirical data from iMooX.

[publication] Maker-MOOC – How to Foster STEM Education with an Open Online Course on Creative Digital Development and Construction with Children #making #imoox
Our publication on „Maker-MOOC – How to Foster STEM Education with an Open Online Course on Creative Digital Development and Construction with Children“ at this year ICL conference in publication got published.
Abstract:
The Maker Movement or do-it-yourself culture is a concept uses novel, mostly via digital applications and tools to emphasize the learning- through-doing in the social environment. This culture inspires teachers through learning by construction and is seen as an important driver for education. In this chapter, we introduce the Maker Movement and describe how it contributes to the STEM education. The authors recite their experience through the project “Maker Days for Kids” which after that, was served as a fundamental base for a following Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). This online course brought some of the emerging technologies together with an appropriate didactical pro- ject about “Making activities for classrooms” to the public. It can be concluded that the MOOC assists in fostering the STEM education by rapidly transferring knowledge to the involved teachers.

[publication] How to foster forum discussions within MOOCs: A case study #imoox #mooc
Our research work titled „How to foster forum discussions within MOOCs: A case study“ got published as part of the International Journal of Academic Research in Education. We introduce some of our experiences concerning discussion forums in MOOCs.
Abstract:
Discussion forums are an essential part to foster interaction among teachers and students, as well as students and students, in virtual learning settings. If interaction can be enhanced, this has a positive influence on motivation and finally also on dropout rates. These days, a special form of online courses, so-called MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), are popping up massively. Those courses are characterized by a high number of students. In this paper, we would like to examine discussion forums and their role concerning interaction. Therefore, Gilly Salmon’s well-known Five stage model is taken and adapted to MOOCs based on a case study. As a method, we tracked learners’ data through learning analytics applications and concluded that there is a positive correlation between reading from one side and writing in forums from the other side.

[publication] Offene Lizenzen als Treiber für neuartige Kooperationen und Innovationen in der Bildung #OER #imoox #mooin
Unser Beitrag zu „Offene Lizenzen als Treiber für neuartige Kooperationen und Innovationen in der Bildung“ bei der diesjährigen Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Medien in der Wissenschaft (GMW) ist nun online verfügbar. Die Präsentation hielt Andreas im Gallery Walk und das Poster wurde bereits hier veröffentlicht.
Zusammenfassung:
Offene Lizenzen erlauben nicht nur die Nutzung, sondern auch die Modifikation von Texten, Programmen und Bildern – oder eben auch von Bildungsressourcen, die als „offene Bildungsressourcen“ derzeit große Aufmerksamkeit erhalten (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, 2015). In diesem Beitrag wer- den die unmittelbaren Folgen der offen Lizenzierung, nämlich die damit ver- bundenen weiträumigen Nutzungsmöglichkeit, dargestellt und demonstriert, dass die offenen Lizenzen auch als ein Treiber für Kooperationen und Innovationen in der Bildung betrachtet werden können. Die Produktion und Nutzung der offenen Bildungsressourcen unterscheidet sich von traditionellen, proprietären Arbeits- und Produktionsweisen u. a. in Bezug auf Finanzierung, Entwicklung, Qualitätssicherung und Nutzung. Anhand der Rolle von OER für Open Educational Practice und mehreren Projekten (L3T 2.0, „Gratis Online Lernen“, dem Schulbuch-O-Mat-Projekt, dem MOOChub sowie COER16) wird dies dar- gestellt.
