[publication] Identifying the Essentials of Corporate MOOCs’ Application to the Leading Organizations #tugraz #research #MOOC

I am happy to announce our new article in the International Journal of Emerging Technologies for Learning about „Identifying the Essentials of Corporate MOOCs’ Application to the Leading Organizations„. I did this togehter with our international partners 🙂

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to identify the essentials of corporate MOOCs‘ application to the leading organizations. This basic research was conducted using a qualitative research synthesis technique. The statistical population includes documents retrieved by searching the Persian and Latin web databases (n=165) using a criterion sampling method (2013- 2020). A total of 73 sources were selected.  Theoretical saturation of themes was reached by the 48th sample. In order to collect data, the library research method was used. The collected data were then analyzed using a thematic analysis technique. Finally, to validate the proposed model, a total of 6 experts in different fields were selected using a purposive sampling method, and they approved the final model after modifications. Based on the research findings, the essentials identified include: the main personal, educational, and organizational themes. Clarification of the logic behind and reason for learning is among essentials in designing and formulating any learning from virtual training (e-learning). This is of paramount importance, especially in learning based on corporate MOOCs as an innovation and transformation towards training and improving human resources. This logic prevents the possible resistance of managers and officials, and even the organizations and corporations‘ staff themselves to learning using corporate MOOCs.

[publication] Handlungsfelder und attraktive Lösungen für Open Educational Resources im österreichischen Hochschulraum: Ergebnisse aus dem Projekt Open Education Austria Advanced #oer #oeaa #openaccess #openeducation

Nun ist auch unser Beitrag im Sonderheft „Digitalisierung der Hochschullehre – Projekte österreichischer Hochschulen 2020–2024“ rund um das Open Education Austria Advanced Projekt erschienen.

Zusammenfassung:
Open Education Austria Advanced trägt zur Sichtbarmachung und Nutzung von Synergien aus Open Science und Open Education bei, um einen Beitrag zur freien Nutzung von Bildungsinhalten aus der Hochschullehre zu leisten und offene Praktiken analog zur Forschung zu etablieren (Open Access, Open Data). Es wird an attraktiven Lösungen für Open Educational Resources (OER) gearbeitet, welche u. a. den OERhub als Suchportal für OER aus dem gesamten Hochschulraum sowie den Aufbau lokaler OER-Repositorien, einer nationalen Zertifizierungsstelle und ein Qualifizierungsangebot umfassen. Der gezielte Wissenstransfer aus dem Projekt in die österreichischen Hochschulen an der Schnittstelle von Bibliotheken, Zentralen IT-Services und Einrichtungen für digitale Lehre stellt ein weiteres Handlungsfeld dar.

[publication] Mobile Gramabot: Development of a Chatbot App for Interactive German Grammar Learning #ijet #chatbot

Our publication „Mobile Gramabot: Development of a Chatbot App for Interactive German Grammar Learning“ got published in the International Journal of Emerging Technologien in Learning.

Abstract:
This study aims to develop the Gramabot application as a means of online learning during the pandemic and to examine its effectiveness as a medium for German grammar learning. The design-based research uses learning experience design methodology. Beside an introduction of the state of the art of chatbots for language learning, the paper describes the concept of the chatbot application and its evaluation. Prior experiences with chatbots, implementation experiences and evaluations insights were obtained from 36 Indonesian students with beginner level German language skills. The data were described using qualitative and simple descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the analysis show that most of the respondents are familiar with several chatbot applications, the use of chatbots is not as a learning medium, but as a means of asking questions about products. In addition, String Matching is a suitable method used to develop Gramabot. Based on the results of the evaluation, it can be concluded that Gramabot can help students understand basic level grammatical material.

[publication] Learning Analytics – Studierende im Fokus #learninganalyticy #zfhe #tugraz

In der Sonderausgabe zu „Digitalisierung der Hochschullehre – Projekte österreichischer Hochschulen 2020–2024“ haben wir unser Learning-Analytics-Projekt beschrieben.

Zusammenfassung:
Der Einsatz von Learning Analytics etabliert sich zunehmend an Hochschulen. Im Rahmen eines vom BMBWF kofinanzierten Projekts wurde sowohl auf Ebene der Lehrveranstaltung als auch auf Ebene des Studiums angesetzt. Tools und Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen wurden entwickelt, die Studierende und ihre Interessen ins Zentrum stellen. Das Projekt verfolgt somit einen studierendenzentrierten Ansatz, der Autonomie und Freiwilligkeit der Teilnahme in den Vordergrund rückt. An den drei beteiligten Universitäten wurden Dashboards, wie der Learner’s Corner sowie Begleitmaßnahmen (Mentoring, Tutorials, …) entwickelt und empirisch überprüft. Außerdem wurden ethische und datenschutzrechtliche Richtlinien im Rahmen eines interdisziplinär erarbeiteten Kriterienkatalogs entwickelt.
Im Beitrag wird der Einsatz von Learning-Analytics-Tools auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen (Moodle-Plug-ins, Anwendung zur Visualisierung des Studienfortschritts) anhand von aus dem Projekt ausgewählten Schwerpunkten exemplarisch veranschaulicht und einzelne empirische Ergebnisse werden vorgestellt.
