Digitale Lehre an und rund um der Technischen Universität Graz
Im Rahmen der UniIT-Tagung an der Universität Graz bin ich gebeten worden über unsere langjährigen Umfragen zu reden und den Studierenden von heute vorzustellen. Ich habe mir gedacht, fangen wir mit einem durchaus ernst gemeinten „Witz“ an:

Heute um 10.30 öffnet die offene digitale Werkstatt für Jugendliche zwischen 10 und 14 Jahren, die „Maker Days for Kids“ im Haus der Jugend von Bad Reichenhall die Türen. Im Vorfeld hat auch die österreichische Presseagentur APA bereits einen tollen Artikel dazu veröffentlicht!
Wir sind alle gespannt, wie die erste offene digitale Werkstatt im deutschsprachigen Raum ankommt. Berichte wird es auf der Homepage geben, auch werden wir über Twitter (Hashtag = #makerdays) live berichten, sofern es unsere Zeit zulässt 🙂
Our contribution to this year LAK conference is about the „De-Identification“. Mohammad gave a presentation within the Workshop „Ethics and Privacy in Learning Analytics“. Here can your find his slides:

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 🙂
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.

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 🙂

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

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
