Andreas Wittke hat mich eingeladen an der Moodle Mahara Moot 2015 in Lübeck die Keynote am Freitag den 6. März 2015 zu halten. Ich habe mich einmal zu diesem Titel hinreißen lassen: „WTF is E-Learning?„. Nun ich bin wohl schon selbst am meisten gespannt, was ich da dazu sagen werde 🙂
[publication] A Contribution to Collaborative Learning Using iPads for School Children
Our contribution about „A Contribution to Collaborative Learning Using iPads for School Children“ at this year European Immersive Education Summit is now online available.
Abstract:
Collaboration has a very positive effect on students’ learning experiences as well as their social interactions. Our research study aims towards enhancing the learning experience, stimulating communication and cooperative behavior to improve learning. Making use of recent technological advancements (tablets) and gaming as a motivational factor, a prototype application in form of a multiplayer learning game for iPads was designed and developed. In a face-to-face setting, connecting up to four devices, the players (learners) have to solve word puzzles in a collaborative way. Furthermore, a web-interface for teachers provides the possibility to create custom content as well as to receive feedback of the children’s performance. A first field study at two primary schools in Graz showed promising results for the learning behavior of school children.

[CallForPaper] eMOOCs 2015
It’s a great pleasure to announce the Call for Papers for next year eMOOCs conference. The Stakeholder Summit will be held on 18-20 May 2015 at the Université catholique de Louvain campus in Mons (Belgium).
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and other open education concepts innovate learning: Universities are opening up education to online users and making their learning resources freely accessible. This raises many questions, e.g. how to integrate formal and informal learning settings, how to support the masses of students, and how to monitor their learning progress. The research track aims to feed the general debate on MOOCs with underpinning scientific data.
The deadline for submission will be the 12th January 2015. We are looking forward to see you there 🙂

[publication] Adaptive Learner Profiling Provides the Optimal Sequence of Posed Basic Mathematical Problems
Our publication about „Adaptive Learner Profiling Provides the Optimal Sequence of Posed Basic Mathematical Problems“ at this year EC-TEL conference is now available.
Abstract:
Applications that try to enhance learners’ knowledge can profit by the creation and analysis of learner profiles. This work deals with the derivation of an optimal sequence of questions by comparing similar learning behaviour of users of a mathematics training application. The adaptation of the learners’ clusters to the answers of the revised optimal question sequence improves learning

[publication] Cloud-based service for eBooks using EPUB under the Aspect of Learning Analytics
Our contribution to 8th International Symposium on Embedded Multicore/Manycore SoCs on „Cloud-based service for eBooks using EPUB under the Aspect of Learning Analytics“ is now online available.
Abstract:
Building a cloud-based e-learning platform using the approach of the research field of learning analytics is the overall goal of this research study. With the strengths of a cloud service it is possible to add value to the learning process for all stakeholders. With such a solution, the process of collecting, analyzing and interpreting data becomes rather easily.
This research study aims to introduce a novel platform to generate interactive e-books. In order to create digitalized forms of exercise books for primary school children, additional features have to be added to gain acceptance by such an idea. The evolution of new e-book standards as EPUB in its version 3.0 makes it possible to generate those additional features. The developments of the platform as well as each interactive exercise, which can be done are described in detail. Finally the weakness and the strength of the approach is discussed. The study concluded that the approach offers huge potential for tomorrow’s learning behaviors

Open Commons_Kongress
Das Programm für den Open Commons_Kongress in Linz vom 20-21.05.2014 ist nun online. Es wird zwar persönlich etwas stressig, da ich am Nachmittag auch noch einen weiteren Vortrag in Graz halte, dennoch erschien es mir sehr wichtig, dort L3T und die Entstehung des OER-Buches vorzustellen:
Der Vortrag stellt das Lehrbuch für Lernen und Lehren mit Technologien (L3T) vor, welches im August 2013 von mehr als 280 Personen im Rahmen eines Booksprints erstellt wurde. Dabei wird der Sprint selbst beschrieben und die Logistik des offenen Verfahrens erläutert. Das Buch ist seither als CC-BY-SA erhältlich und hat zusammen mit der ersten Auflage in ca. 3 Jahren mehr als 300.000 Downloads erzielt. Das Projekt gilt heute als Vorreiter für OER im deutschsprachigen Raum.
