[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 🙂

[publication] Editorial: Massive Open Online Courses und ihre Rolle in der digitalen (Hochschul-)Lehre #zfhe #mooc #imoox #tugraz

Es freut uns, dass nun die Ausgabe 18/1 der Zeitschrift für Hochschulentwicklung zu Massive Open Online Courses und ihre Rolle in der digitalen (Hochschul-)Lehre nun erschienen ist. Wir haben hier versucht Beiträge rund um MOOCs im deutschsprachigen Raum zusammenzubringen und können nun mit Freude neun spannende Beiträge offen zugänglich zur Verfügung stellen. Gleichzeitig haben wir auch das Editorial verfasst, hier gilt ebenso der Dank meinen Mitherausgeber für die viele Arbeit:

Abstract:
Massive Open Online Courses, kurz MOOCs, sind Online-Kurse mit einer großen Zahl an Teilnehmer:innen, die zumeist auf speziellen Plattformen kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Mit dem Kurs zur Künstlichen Intelligenz von Sebastian Thrun mit über 160.000 Lernenden fanden MOOCs zunehmend Verbreitung. Spätestens seit der COVID19-Pandemie sind sie nicht mehr aus unserem universitären Hochschulalltag wegzudenken und heute zum Teil integraler Bestandteil von Lehrveranstaltungen. Durch vielfältige Einsatzmöglichkeiten werden so Weiterbildungen, Workshops oder joint lectures unterstützt. Das aktuelle Themenheft rief zu Beiträgen rund um MOOCs auf und erlaubt dadurch einen Einblick in die facettenreichen Entwicklungen. In der aktuellen Ausgabe finden Sie hierzu spannende Beiträge mit Erfahrungsberichten, neuesten Erkenntnissen, Weiterentwicklungen und didaktischen Einsatzmöglichkeiten. Wir laden Sie also herzlich ein, mit uns gemeinsam dieses innovative, zukunftsträchtige und auch nachhaltige Thema weiter zu vertiefen.

[publication] Development of an Austrian OER Certification for Higher Education Institutions and Their Employees #OER #OpenEducation #research

Our chapter about „Development of an Austrian OER Certification for Higher Education Institutions and Their Employees“ got published right now – enjoy the interesting read 🙂

The “Forum Neue Medien in der Lehre Austria” (fnma) is responsible for the development and introduction of a procedure to attest open educational resources (OER) competences and OER activities in higher education. The aim is to develop and implement a convincing and recognized procedure that succeeds in sustainably promoting and making visible OER activities and OER competences at Austria’s higher education institutions. Within this paper, the development of the Austrian OER certification approach, in other words its framework, will be addressed. A working plan and first results will be presented; among others, the competence framework and its compatibility with existing frameworks.
