Abstract:

This publication aims to report on the findings of a study of readiness for integrating mobile phones in secondary schools (grade 5 – 8) in Austria. Surveys are used to examine the ownership and usage of mobile phones of kids of the age from 10 to 14 years, teachers and additionally teacher candidates. Findings indicate that gathered data show the reality outside school and the lack of readiness of teachers and teacher candidates. Educators and school authority need to take a serious approach to accepting 21st century technology. It can be summarized that the educational system has to be adapted to today’s and tomorrow’s technologies. Issues based on the research and compared with data from the recent JIM Study are discussed: Youth and mobile technologies, school – demands and challenges-, teacher education and Bring Your Own Device (BOYD).

[publication] MOOCs Completion Rates and Possible Methods to Improve Retention – A Literature Review

Our contribution at this year ED-MEDIA conference in Tampere, Finnland about „MOOCs Completion Rates and Possible Methods to Improve Retention – A Literature Review“ is now online available. The slides have alreday been published here.
Abstract:

Many MOOCs initiatives continue to report high attrition rates among distance education students. This study investigates why students dropped out or failed their MOOCs. It also provides strategies that can be implemented to increase the retention rate as well as increasing overall student satisfaction. Through studying literature, accurate data analysis and personal observations, the most significant factors that cause high attrition rate of MOOCs are identified. The reasons found are lack of time, lack of learners’ motivation, feelings of isolation and the lack of interactivity in MOOCs, insufficient background and skills, and finally hidden costs. As a result, some strategies are identified to increase the online retention rate, and will allow more online students to graduate.

[publication] Support of Video-Based lectures with Interactions – Implementation of a first prototype

Our contribution at this year ED-MEDIA conference in Tampere, Finnland about „Support of Video-Based lectures with Interactions – Implementation of a first prototype“ is now online available. The slides have alreday been published here.
Abstract:

In general videos have a more or less consuming character without any interaction possibilities. Due to this fact a web-based application is developed which offers different methods of communication and interaction to a certain learning-video. This should help attendees to avoid that they become tired and annoyed. The lecturer is able to use interactions to omit whether learners are able to understand the content of the video. For instance the developed web-application offers the possibility to add multiple-choice-questions at predefined positions. Furthermore there are many different kind of analysis as for example a detailed attention-profile. In this publication the implementation of a first prototype is described as well as a first field study which points out that learners? interactions and engagements increased arbitrarily.

Our book chapter about „@twitter analysis of #edmediaXX– is the #informationstream usable for the #mass“ is now online available. Enjoy the reading.
Abstract:

In this paper we report the use of an application that enables an automatic analyses of social media content. In this early stage of development our work focuses on data from Twitter1 as currently to be the most popular and fastest growing microblogging platform. After an introduction about a general concept the conference tweets of a big e-learning conference are examined twice. It is aimed to show whether there is a possibility to get significant information from a pool of postings or not. The publication concludes that a keyword extraction can be taken as basis for further investigations and treatment of data.

[publication] Learning Activities in Personal Learning Environment

Our publication at this year ED-Media Conference in Victoria, Canada about „Learning Activities in Personal Learning Environment“ is now online available.
Abstract:

Nowadays Learning Management Systems are an integrated part of educational institutions. Teachers as well as learners profit from the so-called Web 2.0 applications in their daily learning process. Communication and collaboration between students have been enhanced using mashups of Web 2.0 technologies. Smart mobile phones and the increased availability of free wireless network access points make the integration of all these tools in our personal daily life and personal learning process much easier than before. This publication focuses on the Personal Learning Environment (PLE) that was launched at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in 2010. It illustrates how the PLE at TU Graz has been extended to move towards mobile PLE. Furthermore the learning activities of about more than 4000 learners in the last two years are revealed based on the tracked user behavior. The activities and usage traces are modeled using domain specific semantic ontologies. The models are used as the input for our Analytics Dashboard to visualize statistics and get a quick overview of learning habits and overall reflection usages and activity dynamics in the PLE.
