[PechaKucha] Booksprints in der Hochschullehre #gmw16

Im Rahmen der GMW 2016 in Innsbruck nehme ich heute mit unseren Beitrag „Booksprints in der Hochschullehre“ an einer Pecha-Kucha-Session mit anschließendem Knowledge Cafe teil. Hierzu gibt es eine Kurzpräsentation über 3 Minuten und danach an den Tischen dreimal eine 20-minütige offene Diskussion. Ich freu mich jetzt schon auf die vielen TeilnehmerInnen.
Hier einmal die Folien für die Pecha-Kucha-Präsentation:

[publication] Use Cases and Architecture of an Information system to integrate smart glasses in educational environments #edmedia

Our publication about „Use Cases and Architecture of an Information system to integrate smart glasses in educational environments“ at this year ED-Media conference is now online available. The presentation slides have been published right here.

Abstract:

Wearable devices, such as smart glasses, are nowadays easily available on the market; therefore, these devices could be used to evaluate more and more use cases in educational domain. After a short introduction to smart glasses functionality, features and user interaction techniques, several use cases are defined and described. To integrate smart glasses into the educational domain, specialized information systems and infrastructure is necessary. A basic concept of a suitable information system is defined and explained by a sample use case. The main advantage of using smart glasses in educational domain is that users can interact with the device hands-free therefore (fine motor skills) tasks can be performed while receiving visual and vocal support simultaneously. Additionally the teacher/observer can evaluate the performance remotely. Wearable devices become better available and cheaper, but should only be used in suitable use cases where the learning experience could be improved.

[publication] Learning Analytics in MOOCs: Can Data Improve Students Retention and Learning? #LearningAnalytics

Our publication about „Learning Analytics in MOOCs: Can Data Improve Students Retention and Learning?“ at this year ED-Media conference is now online available. The presentation slides have been published right here.

Abstract:

In order to study learners’ behaviors and activities in online learning environments such as MOOCs, the demanding for a framework of practices and procedures to collect, analyze and optimize their data emerged in the educational learning horizon. Learning Analytics is the field that arose to comply with such needs and was denominated as a “technological fix to the long-standing problems” of online learning platforms (Knox, 2014). This paper discusses the significance of applying Learning Analytics in MOOCs to overcome some of its issues. We will mainly focus on improving students’ retention and learning using an algorithm prototype based on divergent MOOC indicators, and propose a scheme to reflect the results on MOOC students

[publication] How to integrate and automatically issue Open Badges in MOOC platforms #imoox #badge

Our last publication at this year European MOOC Stakeholder Summit 2016 in Graz about „How to integrate and automatically issue Open Badges in MOOC platforms“ is now online available.
Abstract:

Though MOOC platforms offer quite good online learning opportunities, thereby gained skills and knowledge is not recognized appropriately. Also, they fail in main-taining the initial learner’s motivation to complete the course.
Mozilla’s Open Badges, which are digital artifacts with embedded meta-data, could help to solve these problems. An Open Badge contains, beside its visual component, data to trustworthy verify its receipt. In addition, badges of different granularity cannot just certify successful course completion, but also help to steer the learning process of learners through formative feedback during the course.
Therefore, a web application was developed that enabled iMooX to issue Open Badges for formative feedback as well as summative evaluation. A course about Open Educa-tional Resources served as prototype evaluation, which confirmed its aptitude to be also used in other courses.

[workshop] Erstellung und Einsatz von Lernvideos

Workshop Lernvideos Chur
Sandra und ich sind heute in Chur zu Gast zu einem Workshop rund um Lernvideos. Wir berichten über Möglichkeiten, unseren Erfahrungen und wie man möglichst einfach auch selbst tatsächlich kurze Videos erstellen kann. Damit das ganze auch tatsächlich dann ein Lernvideo wird haben wir eine Vorlage für Ideensammlung entwickelt die möglichst alle Aspekte abdeckt.

Mit einem Handbuch in der MAKE: Online-Meldung: „Making-Aktivitäten mit Kindern und Jugendlichen“ rockt! #imoox

Da waren wir schon ein wenig baff, beim OER-Festival: Gerade noch saßen wir im Making-Panel beinander, schon wußte der erste: Das Magazin MAKE: berichtet online über die gerade erfolgte Veröffentlichung des kostenlosen, offen lizenzierten Handbuchs zu „Making-Aktitäten mit Kindern und Jugendlichen„! Es ist jedesmal crazy, und großes Kino wenn es heißt: bei heise.de steht etwas über Euch! Danke!

[publication] A MOOC on Open Educational Resources as an Open Educational Resource: COER13 #coer13 #research

Our chapter on „A MOOC on Open Educational Resources as an Open Educational Resource: COER13“ as part of the MOOC Case Book has been published now.
Abstract:

In this book chapter we describe and analyze the case of COER13 (https://www.coer13.de/about.html), a community-oriented cMOOC titled ‘Online Course on Open Educational Resources’ that was run as an Austrian-German joint venture in 2013. All but one of the authors of this chapter were convenors of the course. COER13 was deliberately designed and implemented to promote the OER cause. The overall aim was to generate a comprehensive OER on the topic of OER with the course itself, using a cMOOC format to possibly reach a large audience. As a consequence all materials were openly licensed and the course design was oriented towards the production of OER on various levels. With this particular focus the case of COER13 addresses the ethical dimension of Khan’s (2006) e-learning framework, which involves viewing and evaluating e-learning with a socio-political lens, e.g. analyzing in what ways e-learning tackles urgent social challenges such as access to education for all or bridging the digital divide. Within the ethical dimension, issues of copyright and other legal issues are explicitly addressed. Hence the case presented here, with its close link to open education and alternative licensing schemes, exemplifies the challenges that have to be met when developing e-learning from an ethical perspective, striving for greater equity of access to education.
