[publication] The Online Course as Initial Stage of a Course in Higher Education: Implementation and Evaluation of the Pre-MOOC Concept in a Technical Degree Course #mooc #imoox #research

Our publication about “The Online Course as Initial Stage of a Course in Higher Education: Implementation and Evaluation of the Pre-MOOC Concept in a Technical Degree Course” got published in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJet).

Abstract:
In university teaching, a massive open online course (MOOC) is often regarded as an isolated online course, typically addressing a broad public of lifelong learners or future students. Nevertheless, some universities use MOOCs as a lecture for their students or use MOOCs as integrated part of their own lectures. In this study, we focus on a lecture concept called “Pre-MOOC”, where a MOOC is an obligative first part of a lecture in higher education, followed by lecture-part only open for own students and typically in presence. Therefore, we explore the current state of practices and research on Pre-MOOCs and describe our design-based research approach, the development of the MOOC and evaluation of its implementation in 2019. The article describes the instructional design process of the lecture in a master program of electrical engineering in which we used the instructional design model ADDIE. Finally, we will analyze the results of the evaluation with regard to the concept of a Pre-MOOC. Based on feedback from students and teachers, recommendations for designing a course with the Pre-MOOC design will be provided and implications as well limitations of the study will be discussed.

[publication] Entwicklung und Implementierung eines Plug-Ins und von APIs für offene Bildungsressourcen (OER)#oer #oeaa

Unser Beitrag zu “Entwicklung und Implementierung eines Plug-Ins und von APIs für offene Bildungsressourcen (OER)” ist nach der erfolgreichen Tagung nun auch als Publikation erschienen.

Zusammenfassung
Um einen breiten Zugang zur Bildung und großzügige Nutzung von Bildungsressourcen zu ermöglichen, setzt auch die Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) auf offene Bildungsressourcen (Open Educational Resources, kurz OER). Der Beitrag beschreibt die technologischen Entwicklungen und Prozesse, damit Lehrende der TU Graz das eigene Lernmanagementsystem für die Veröffentlichung von OER nutzen können. Es wird im Beitrag nachgezeichnet wie Schnittstellen und Prozesse gestaltet wurden, um Lern-und Lehrressourcen der TU Graz mit entsprechenden Metadaten auszuzeichnen, um sie über das universitätseigene OER-Repositorium und entsprechenden Schnittstellen für das OER-Fachportal der Universität Wien einer breiten Öffentlichkeit recherchierbar anzubieten. Nur entsprechend qualifizierte Lehrende der TU Graz erhalten die Berechtigung für die Nutzung des neuen OER-Plug-In. Der Beitrag schließt mit Empfehlungen für Nachahmer/innen.

Neue Ausgabe: Lehrentwicklung anregen, Lehrqualität auszeichnen #zfhe #openaccess

Im letzten Jahr ist noch die Ausgabe 15/4 der Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung (ZFHE) erschienen mit dem Titel “Lehrentwicklung anregen, Lehrqualität auszeichnen“. Lieben Dank an die Herausgeber:innen Gabi Reinmann und Peter Tremp für die spannende Open-Access-Publikation:

Die in diesem Themenheft versammelten zwölf Beiträge decken inhaltlich eine breite Palette von Möglichkeiten ab, die Entwicklung und Qualität von Lehre zu betrachten und zu bearbeiten. Jeder der Texte thematisiert mehrere Dimensionen von Lehrentwicklung und Lehrqualität, und zwar theoretisch, konzeptionell, über empirische Befunde oder konkrete Praxisbeispiele; insgesamt werden die fünf Akzente Lehrkompetenzentwicklung, Lehrauszeichnung, Qualitätsentwicklung, Hochschulentwicklung, Digitalisierung und Theorieentwicklung adressiert. Die Ausgabe enthält darüber hinaus drei freie Beiträge, die verschiedene Themen aus der Hochschulentwicklung allgemein aufgreifen.
