Digitale Lehre an und rund um der Technischen Universität Graz
Im Rahmen der GMW 2023 Jahrestagung haben wir heuer einen Beitrag zu unserem KI-generierten MOOC gemacht. Die Präsentation mit dem Titel „„MOOC-ing ohne Mensch“ Fallstudie zum KI- generierten MOOC „Societech““ steht nun online zur Verfügung:
Our anual study results were traditional presented at the EDMedia and Innovative Learning 2023 conference in Vienna titled „Shifting Patterns in IT Equipment and Communication Application Preferences among Study Beginners: A Longitudinal Analysis at TU Graz, Austria„. Here are the slides:
Der MOOC „Gesellschaftliche Aspekte der Informationstechnologie“ auf iMooX geht nun in die siebte Woche. Diesesmal sind die Expertin Maria Eichlseder, die Experten Stefan More und Michael Pfeiffer und ich selbst an der Reihe. Das Thema IT-Security. Ich denke spannend genug um mitzumachen.
Darüberhinaus wage ich mich selbst einmal an eine Buchbesprechung, nachdem ich letztes Jahr den Bestseller Homo Deus gelesen habe, denke ich, dass es spannend ist vielleicht einmal diese Gedanken aufzugreifen und zu reflektieren.
Also unbedingt vorbei schauen und mitdiskutieren – der Einstieg in den MOOC ist jederzeit noch möglich.

I did a keynote titled „MOOCs, Learning Analytics and OER – why we need it for the future of higher education!“ at the University of Malang at the Innovation and Teacher Profesionalism (ICITEP) 2023 conference.
Here you can find my slides:
Ich darf heute – wie schon all die letzten Jahre – unsere neuen Studierenden an der TU Graz bei den Welcome Days wiederum begrüßen. Das mach ich gerne, denn es gibt nichts wichtigeres als einen guten Start.
Welcome Days 2023 für Studienanfängerinnen und -anfänger: Zwei Tage – Alles für den erfolgreichen Start ins Studium. Unter diesem Motto veranstaltet die TU Graz in Zusammenarbeit mit alumniTUGraz 1887 auch 2023 wieder die Welcome Days. Bei den Welcome Days (Einführungstagen) erhalten Studienanfängerinnen und -anfänger innerhalb der ersten Studientage die wichtigsten Informationen für einen erfolgreichen Studienbeginn an der TU Graz und gleichzeitig einen ersten Einblick in die Arbeitswelten der Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure.
Wir werden den ersten Tag live aus dem Studio streamen, der zweite Tage wird dann vor Ort stattfinden:
Das ganze Programm findet man auf der Webseite (https://welcome.tugraz.at) bzw. im Folder. Auf alle Fälle darf ich aber alle Erstsemestrigen einen guten Start in das Studium wünschen und alles Gute 🙂
Our publication titled „Makification – Bridging the Gap between Formal and Maker Education“ was presented at EDMedia and Innovative Learning 2023 conference and got published right now.
Abstract: To achieve appropriate education for the future, we propose a gradual process of makification in which characteristic elements of the maker movement are incorporated into formal educational activities. Using the existing literature, we deduce the need for a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered learning while integrating essential 21st century skills into the rigid framework of formal education through makification

Our research publication titled „Developing an Addition and Subtraction Trainer with Automated Categorization of Errors for Learners in Their First Two Years of Primary School“ for the EDMedia and Innovative Learning 2023 conference is published.
Abstract: This paper discusses the development and testing of a gamified mathematical learning app. Said app is designed for primary school children in their first two years of learning, so that they can practice the arithmetic operations addition and subtraction in a playful way. Predefined error categories are used to specifically eliminate weaknesses. As an incentive for the learners, mascots, stars and a child-oriented look are offered, as well as a mode in which the players can compete with others worldwide and, in the case of good performance, find themselves on the leaderboard. A test run and a subsequently conducted survey with 49 school children showed that the app generally works well and that the subjective perceptions regarding the motivational ability of the mascots correlate with the overall perception of the app.

Our publication titled „The Development of Two Math E-Learning Systems for Primary School Children in Android“ for the EDMedia and Innovative Learning 2023 conference is now online available:
Abstract: Electronic learning, with all its different variations, approaches and applications, is a very relevant topic in today’s education. E-Learning is a wide field, as it affects classes in school as well as training scenarios for adult persons. This work describes the development of two E-Learning systems: EinMalEins Trainer and Division Trainer. Both applications are part of the learning lab of Graz University of Technology. This document sums up the theoretical background of the development process as well as the realization. A lot of emphasis in this work laid on applying different testing methods, therefore thinking aloud testing as well as automated testing are handled more deeply. The methodology behind these methods is explained and the results are presented.

Our publication about the results of the welcome days, titled „Shifting Patterns in IT Equipment and Communication Application Preferences among Study Beginners: A Longitudinal Analysis at Graz University of Technology, Austria“, is now online available.
Abstract: Within the last 11 years, more than 10.000 students participated in surveys amongst study beginners at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in Austria. In autumn 2022, 1,089 students answered questions on their IT equipment, social media, and communication applications. While the evaluations of the last few years did not reveal major changes, this year is different: The apps Tiktok and Discord, newly introduced as an option in the survey, get equally large shares-of one-third and more than 40%, respectively. For the first time, the presentation of the survey data also includes questions regarding the usage of communication applications for learning. That shall give rise to future research on communication apps for teaching at TU Graz.
