[publication] Potential of EPUB3 for Digital Textbooks in Higher Education #ebook #tugraz

Our publication about „Potential of EPUB3 for Digital Textbooks in Higher Education“ for this year Smart Learning Excellence Conference in Dubai is now online available. The slides have been already published here.
Abstract:

The e-book market is currently in a strong upswing. This research study deals with the question which practical uses the e-book format EPUB3 offers for (higher) education. By means of a didactic content analysis, a range of interactive exercise types were developed as a result of conversations with teachers. For this purpose, a didactic and technical concept has been developed. Different kinds of exercises were prototypically implemented in an e-book. Finally, a brief overview reflects the present state of the current e-book readers. A subsequent discussion illuminates the strengths and weaknesses of the format. In summary , it can be remarked that EPUB3 is suitable for a variety of different exercises and that it is able to serve as a basic format for forthcoming digital textbooks. Furthermore the openness of EPUB3 will assist Open Learning and Teaching in a meaningful way

[publication] Portraying MOOCs Learners: a Clustering Experience Using Learning Analytics #emoocs2016 #mooc

Our paper on „Portraying MOOCs Learners: a Clustering Experience Using Learning Analytics“ at this year EMOOCs conference is now online available.
Abstract:

Massive Open Online Courses are remote courses that excel in their students‘ heterogeneity and quantity. Due to the peculiarity of being massiveness, the large datasets generated by MOOCs platforms require advance tools to reveal hidden patterns for enhancing learning and educational environments. This paper offers an interesting study on using one of these tools, clustering, to portray learners‘ engagement in MOOCs. The research study analyse a university mandatory MOOC, and also opened to the public, in order to classify students into appropriate profiles based on their engagement. We compared the clustering results across MOOC variables and finally, we evaluated our results with an eighties students‘ motivation scheme to examine the contrast between classical classes and MOOCs classes. Our research pointed out that MOOC participants are strongly following the Cryer’s scheme of Elton (1996).

Tag der Informatik Fachdidaktik #conference #RFDZI

RFDZIFast schon traditionell findet auch heuer der Tag der Informatik Fachdidaktik an der PH Steiermark statt und wird topaktuell sich dem Thema Making widmen. Als Keynotes konnten wir Sandra Schön und Gregor Lütolf gewinnen. Darüberhinaus biete ich zusammen mit meinem Masterstudenten und meinem PhD-Kandidaten zwei spannende Workshops an:

  • Makingaktivitäten mit SchülerInnen: Im Rahmen des Workshops werden Makeraktivitäten vorgestellt, die einerseits an den ersten Makerdays for Kids bzw. beim MakerMOOC durchgeführt worden sind und anderseits an einer österreichischen Schule im Einsatz waren. Im Workshop werden auch die ein oder andere Aktivität gezeigt (z.B. VR‐Brille zum Selbermachen) und konkrete didaktische Einsatzszenarien besprochen und diskutiert.
  • Das digitale individuelle Mathematikübungsheft: In diesem Workshop wird vorgestellt wie man moderne Technologien mit automatisch generierter Mathematikbeispiele einer neuen Webplattform verwenden kann um das individuelle Lernen der Schülerinnen und Schüler stärker zu fördern. Weiters wird auch deren Einsatz im Unterricht in Verbindung mit Tablets in Kombination mit Cloud‐Diensten gezeigt und besprochen bzw. kann auch vor Ort ausprobiert werden.
