[publication] Do You Mind NSA Affair? Does the Global Surveillance Disclosure Impact Our Students?
Our contribution at this year ED-MEDIA conference in Tampere, Finnland about “Do You Mind NSA Affair? Does the Global Surveillance Disclosure Impact Our Students?” is now online available. The slides have alreday been published here.
Abstract:
In summer 2013 the discussion about security and Internet peaked when the ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden uncovered secret details about his former employer NSA. Since then bad news and stories about government surveillance have come along daily worldwide. But did they change anything according to our way of working and living with the Internet? We wanted to know, whether there is a change of Internet behavior to be determined among freshmen coming to Graz University of Technology. On base of an annual questionnaire that is carried out by the Department of Social Learning at TU Graz since 2007 we found out that although a quarter of polled students are influenced by those disclosures there is no decrease in Internet usage to be realized compared to former years results; quite the reverse: applications working on cloud-principle like Dropbox are strongly upcoming. Apart from that, the long term survey generally mirrors new media competences and Internet usage of TU Graz freshmen. This paper discusses this year´s results and progressions of the survey.

[publication] Learning with Mobile Devices Perceptions of Students and Teachers at Lower Secondary Schools in Austria
Our contribution at this year ED-MEDIA conference in Tampere, Finnland about “Learning with Mobile Devices Perceptions of Students and Teachers at Lower Secondary Schools in Austria” is now online available. The slides have alreday been published here.
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.
