[publication] Certification of MOOCs – Advantages, Challenges and Practical Experiences #imoox #mooc #badge

Our article “Certification of MOOCs – Advantages, Challenges and Practical Experiences” got published originally in Spanish language with the title “La certificación de los MOOC. Ventajas, desafíos y experiencias prácticas” as part of the journal Revista española de pedagogía.

Abstract:

In general, participants use MOOCs for individual learning purposes by selecting certain contents of a MOOC in which they are interested. Simultaneously, MOOCs are used in the context of online-lectures offered to students who must or may enroll for a specific course to earn credits. However, many participants do not successfully complete all units of a MOOC. Therefore, completion rates – in general – are rather low.
Certificates like PDF-documents or electronic badges can be an adequate stimulation to complete a course. This research raises the questions, how the certification of MOOC-participants can be managed and if certificates have an impact on completion rates. Firstly, general aspects of certification are discussed. This is followed by a practical insight into the certification practice based on experiences of the Austrian MOOC-platform iMooX operators. As a conclusion, results are summarized and related challenges and further research questions are addressed.

[publication] ResXplorer: Revealing relations between resources for researchers in the Web of Data #science #tugraz

Our publication about “ResXplorer: Revealing relations between resources for researchers in the Web of Data” is now online available – enjoy the results of a very increasing research field.

Abstract:

Recent developments on sharing research results and ideas on the Web, such as research collaboration platforms like Mendeley or ResearchGate, enable novel ways to explore research information. Current search interfaces in this field focus mostly on narrowing down the search scope through faceted search, keyword matching, or filtering. The interactive visual aspect and the focus on exploring relationships between items in the results has not sufficiently been addressed before. To facilitate this exploration, we developed ResXplorer, a search interface that interactively visualizes linked data of research-related sources. By visualizing resources such as conferences, publications and proceedings, we reveal relationships between researchers and those resources. We evaluate our search interface by measuring how it affects the search productivity of targeted lean users. Furthermore, expert users reviewed its information retrieval potential and compared it against both popular academic search engines and highly specialized academic search interfaces. The results indicate how well lean users perceive the system and expert users rate it for its main goal: revealing relationships between resources for researchers.

[publication] Potentiale von Smartwatches für Audience-Response-Systeme #ZFHE #research

Im Rahmen der Seamless Learning Tagung in Graz haben wir einen Beitrag rund um unsere Forschungsarbeiten mit Smart Watches und Audience-Response-Systemen verfasst.

Zusammenfassung:

Audience-Response-Systeme ermöglichen dem Auditorium, während eines Vortrages aktiv zu werden. Die vortragendene Person gewinnt damit wertvolle Informationen aus dem Publikum. Mobile, internetfähige Geräte lassen sich in webbasierte Systeme integrieren und zur Benutzereingabe nutzen. Um dieses Feedback den Vortragenden leichter zugänglich zu machen, können die Potentiale der Smartwatch als ein direkt am Körper anliegendes Gerät genutzt werden. Sie schränken die Vortragenden nicht in ihrer Mobilität ein und fördern durch Vibrationssignale und visuelle Signale eine schnellere Reaktion. Vor allem die Integration der Smartwatch in ein Live-Backchannel-System kann den Nutzen des Systemes enorm steigern.
