[publication] A decade of first-semester students surveys concerning IT equipment and communication applications and effect of Covid-19 related experiences for first-year students in 2021 #edil22 #tugraz

One of our contributions to the EdMedia + Innovate Learning 2022 is about „A decade of first-semester students surveys concerning IT equipment and communication applications and effect of Covid-19 related experiences for first-year students in 2021„

Abstract:
The technical equipment of first-year students and their preferred communication applications are changing, perhaps also influenced by their experiences in the Covid-19 pandemic concerning digital teaching and learning. This paper presents the 2021 survey of first-year students at Graz University of Technology (N=1,207) and compares the results concerning devices and applications with the results of the surveys conducted since 2011. It is striking that there are no striking changes in the endowment of the that can be interpreted as an effect of Covid-19 pandemic. A question introduced in 2021 about experiences with distance online instruction and experiences with online courses before and after Covid-19 shows clearly that new students‘ prior experiences with online learning here have dramatically changed as a result of school closures in Austria.

Raindrop – Mozilla Labs

Eine interessante Idee kommt aus den Mozilla Labs – Raindrop – wenn man davon ausgeht, dass eMail heute eigentlich nur mehr einen Teil der Online Kommunikation ausmacht und zunehmend andere Online Dienste eine wesentliche Rolle spielen (man denke an Facebook, Twitter, Instant Messaging & Co), dann fehlt es vor allem an einem – der Kommunikationszentrale.
Was das letztendlich auch dann sein wird, die ersten Ansätze sind eben gerade im Kommen (ich werde auch bald mal über Google Wave berichten). Mozilla arbeitet an Raindrop:

Today we’re introducing Raindrop, an exploration in messaging innovation being led by the team responsible for Thunderbird, to explore new ways to use Open Web technologies to create useful, compelling messaging experiences.
