[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.

[publication] Shaping learning analytics technology through human- centredness #learninganalytics #lak23 #research

We did a small contribution to the 4th International Workshop on Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) co-located with the 13th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference (LAK2023) about our learning analytics efforts at Graz University of Technology. Our publication titled “Shaping learning analytics technology through human- centredness” is now online availble, too

Abstract:
Learning Analytics (LA) researchers and practitioners are growing interested in applying human-centred design methods and techniques to design LA technology. This approach finds solutions by involving the perspectives of students, teachers, and other educational stakeholders in all process steps. It enables the creation of technology that resonates and is tailored to the end-users needs. The “Learning Analytics-Students in Focus” project aims to support the learning and teaching process in the higher education context. Our interdisciplinary team focuses on LA technology that facilitates acquiring and developing students’ self-regulated learning skills, such as goal setting, planning, monitoring progress, and reflecting. We embraced a Human-Centred Learning Analytics (HCLA) approach since the start of our project, and it helped us to understand students’ points of view and needs and find solutions together. This article summarises the design process of a LA tool named Planner, which aims to support students in planning and monitoring coursework. We share our experience with various methods and techniques applied in our research and present insights about the benefits and limitations of the HCLA approach. Finally, we highlight how the HCLA approach helped to build a LA community at our university and promote trust towards LA.

[CfP] Digitale Kompetenzen – Zur Rolle dieser „Future Skills“ im Hochschulkontext: Definition und Bedeutsamkeit, Messung und Förderung #zfhe #digitalliteracy #science #research

Wir freuen uns im Herausgeber:innenteam für die Ausgabe 19/1 der Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung mitwirken zu können “Digitale Kompetenzen – Zur Rolle dieser „Future Skills“ im Hochschulkontext: Definition und Bedeutsamkeit, Messung und Förderung”

Zum Themenschwerpunkt:
Digitalisierung und digitale Kompetenzen sind Schlagworte, die mittlerweile in (fast) allen Lebensbereichen eine Rolle spielen. So identifizierte der Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft e.V. in seinem 2021 herausgegebenen future skills paper 21 Kompetenzen in den vier Kategorien: „Klassische Kompetenzen“, „Digitale Schlüsselkompetenzen“, „Technologische Kompetenzen“ und „Transformative Kompetenzen“. (STIFTERVERBAND FÜR DIE DEUTSCHE WISSENSCHAFT, 2021, S. 2). Aus dieser Perspektive sind digitale Kompetenzen also ein zentraler Teil der sogenannten future skills. Hierzu wird erläutert: „Auch digitale Schlüsselkompetenzen (zum Beispiel Digital Literacy) […] bleiben enorm wichtig und werden in den nächsten fünf Jahren noch weiter an Bedeutung gewinnen.“ (ebd., S. 2). Das wirft die Frage auf, inwiefern dies für die Lehre an Hochschulen relevant ist (vgl. ebd., S. 3), sowohl in Bezug auf Studierende als auch auf Lehrende und weiteres (die Lehre und das Lernen unterstützendes) Hochschulpersonal.

Der ganze Call ist hier zugänglich – Einreichfrist ist jedenfalls der 27.10.2023. Wir freuen uns über viele Einreichungen und sollte es Fragen geben, beantworten wir diese gerne 🙂
