[poster] Rechtschreiblernen durch Learning Anlaytics #IDERblog #research

Im Rahmen des Symposiums Deutschdidaktik durften wir unser Projekt IDERblog im Rahmen eines Posters vorstellen und diskutieren.
Abstract:

Ziel ist die Bereitstellung einer Internetplattform für Kinder zwischen acht und zwölf Jahren zum Verfassen von Texten. Aufgrund der interdisziplinären Entwicklung (Medieninformatik und -didaktik, Fachwissenschaft und -didaktik Deutsch, Schulkooperationen) werden erstmals Learning-Analytics-Verfahren im Bereich der Rechtschreibung angewandt. Dies geschieht mithilfe des eigens entwickelten Informationssystems mit integriertem intelligenten Wörterbuchs, das den Text in Bezug auf allgemeine und kategorisierte Rechtschreibfehler überprüft. Bei den kategorisierten Rechtsschreibfehlern gibt das System dem/der Verfasser/in verbale Rückmeldungen zur Korrektur und stellt dem/der Lehrer/in eine qualitative Fehleranalyse zur Verfügung. Darüber hinaus können die Texte von Lehrpersonen online korrigiert und verwaltet werden. Nachdem die Lehrperson den Text zur Veröffentlichung freigegeben hat, kann der/die Verfasser/in den Text publizieren, so dass ihn andere lesen und ggf. kommentieren können

[publication] Learning Analytics and Spelling Acquisition in German-A First Prototype #IdERblog

At this year HCII conference we present a short overview about the IderBlog-project, titled „Learning Analytics and Spelling Acquisition in German-A First Prototype

Abstract:

Data-driven learning in combination with emerging academic areas such as Learning Analytics (LA) has the potential to tailor students’ education to their needs [1]. The aim of this article is to present a web-based training platform for primary school pupils who struggle with the acquisition of German orthography. Our objective is the improvement in their writing and spelling competences. The focus of this article is on the development of the platform and the details concerning the requirements and the design of the User Interface (UI). In combination with Learning Analytics, the platform is expected to provide deeper insight into the process of spelling acquisition. Furthermore, aspects of Learning Analytics will help to develop the platform, to improve the exercises and to provide better materials in the long run.

[publication] Improved German Spelling Acquisition through Learning Analytics #iderblog #LearningAnalytics

Our publication about the Learning Analytics implementation within the IDER-blog procject has been published: „Improved German Spelling Acquisition through Learning Analytics“.
Abstract:

Many pupils struggle with the acquisition of the German orthography. In order to meet this struggle a web based platform for German speaking countries is currently developed. This platform aims to motivate pupils aged 8 to 12 to improve their writing and spelling competences. In this platform pupils can write texts in the form of blog entries concerning everyday events or special topics. Since the core of this platform consists of an intelligent dictionary focussing on different categories of misspellings, students can improve their own spelling skills by trying to correct their mistakes according to the feedback of the system. Teachers are informed about specific orthographic problems of a particular student by getting a qualitative analysis of the misspellings from this intelligent dictionary. The article focuses on the development of the intelligent dictionary, details concerning the requirements, the categorization and the used wordlist. Further, necessary information on German orthography, spelling competence in general and the platform itself is given. By implementing methods of learning analytics it is expected to gain deeper insight into the process of spelling acquisition and thus serves as a basis to develop better materials on the long run.
