[CfP] Special Issue on „Applications of Educational Technology and AI in Educational Settings“ #research

I am happy to announce another Call for Papers for a Special Issue on „Applications of Educational Technology and AI in Educational Settings

This Special Issue aims to investigate the transformative impact of digital technology and/or artificial intelligence (AI) in educational settings. As such, we are seeking educational technology solutions that add value to education with a strong focus on the technology used.
With rapid advancements, AI-powered tools like adaptive learning platforms, automated grading systems, chatbots, AI agents, AI avatars and a high number of different applications are changing the educational environment. Furthermore, digital technologies in general, including virtual classrooms settings or blended-learning situations as well as MOOCs, enhance accessibility and foster student engagement.
Therefore, we are seeking case studies and recent research exploring both the benefits and challenges of integrating digital technologies and AI in educational settings. Ethical considerations, teacher roles, open education and digital equity are also of interest, emphasizing the need for thoughtful implementation to maximize the potential of digital technologies in improving educational outcomes.

The deadline for the final submission, as well as further information, can be found here: [Link to the call]

[publication] A multilingual OER MOOC: A case study on production and usage in a university cooperation #KI #tugraz #research

This is an impactful contributions, methodological rigor, and exceptional novelty in the research field of AI in education.

Our publication about our OER-MOOC titled „A multilingual OER MOOC: A case study on production and usage in a university cooperation“ is now published.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the processes, outcomes, and impact of the Unite! OER Courses Project, a cross-university initiative aimed at promoting Open Educational Resources (OER) across nine European higher education institutions. Aligned with UNESCO’s OER recommendations and the Open Science movement, the project sought to enhance accessibility to high-quality educational materials and foster digital competencies among both educators and students. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach, leveraging project reports and feedback from partners. Through the development of a multilingual massive open online course (MOOC) and an international OER course, the project addressed several core goals, including support for Open Science competencies and the advancement of digital literacy across Europe. The MOOC, launched in May 2024, attracted over 1,400 participants, exceeding initial targets and demonstrating the growing demand for accessible OER content. Furthermore, capacity-building workshops aimed at educators provided training on how to incorporate OER. Initial findings indicate that the project successfully developed and disseminated several OER materials, including a multilingual MOOC and additional resources translated into Turkish, Indonesian, and Arabic. The project also fostered capacity-building among partner institutions, enabling broader engagement with OER practices. Participants in the MOOC and related activities have also reported a significant increase in their competencies regarding OER and Open Science. This study underscores the value of cross-institutional collaboration and the potential of OER to enhance radical creativity, educational accessibility, and innovation in higher education.

[publication] An Introduction to Open Educational Resources and Their Implementation in Higher Education Worldwide #OER #OpenEducation #tugraz #research

We are thrilled to announce that our article about „An Introduction to Open Educational Resources and Their Implementation in Higher Education Worldwide“ was published in the Weizenbaum Journal of the Digital Society.

Abstract:
The digitization of (higher) education has exposed copyright infringement issues, as the unauthorized use of copyrighted materials has become more visible. This article explores the importance of open educational resources (OER) in higher education, focusing on their development, how they are understood, and the opportunities they offer. OER are defined as learning materials released under open licenses, allowing no-cost access, reuse, adaptation, and redistribution. The article discusses the OER movement, its milestones, and its integration into educational practice. It also presents arguments for OER: they enable free access to education, improve teaching practice, diminish legal issues, and foster open science. In addition, it highlights criticisms, including resistance from traditional publishers and concerns about marketing influence. The article concludes by examining current OER implementation in higher education and its promise of innovation. While OER are increasingly adopted, proprietary resources still dominate. The article emphasizes the need for educators to use open licenses meaningfully and innovatively and presents research on OER acceptance and usage. The monitoring of OER development in higher education is essential, but approaches may vary across countries.
