As Sandra has already mentioned we are happy to announce that also a „best paper award“ will take place within our special track on „MahsUps for Learning“ at this year ICL conference.
Furhtermore Sandra did an amazing work and enhanced her slides on slideshare by audio. Hear and see here the slidecast of the call:
Call for Special Track „Mashups for Learning“ (MASHL2009)
Sandra and I are organising a special track “Mashups for Learning” (MASHL2009) which will take place within the “International Conference on Interactive Computer Aided Learning” (ICL) in Villach, Austria.
Here a short introduction:

[publication] Can Confidence Assessment Enhance Traditional Multiple-Choice Testing?
Zusammen mit meinen Kollegen haben wir für die heurige ICL Konferenz einen Artikel über die Verwendung eines zusätzlichen Parameters bei einem Multiple-Choice Test (Feldstudie) geschrieben. Der Artikel ist hier online verfügbar.
Abstract:
This paper presents the results of an experiment with multiple-choice testing including confidence assessment. In a course at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) 432 students did a multiple-choice test (MCT) on the university’s online learning management system. For 172 students the test had been added a confidence parameter for each question, which allowed the students to state their confidence in their answers. The remaining 260 students doing a traditional MCT served as a control group. The results show that there is a relationship between the confidence parameter and the percentage of incorrect answers. Moreover the findings detail that the use of the confidence parameter leads to slightly poorer results.
