This contribution presents the development and testing of a peer-review process for content quality assurance in MOOCs, implemented in the course “E-Assessment – auf Kurs gebracht”. The process was evaluated regarding complexity, duration, collaboration with external reviewers, and learners’ perception. Results show that the procedure can be smoothly integrated into MOOC development. Reviewers contributed beyond expectations by providing materials, didactic advice, and legal-ethical reflections. Learners rated the videos (very) positively (92.7% positive ratings, 100 participants, n=812 answers), especially for structure and coherence. Slightly lower ratings for ‚visual appearance‘ and ‚use of supportive linguistic elements‘ can be explained by the course’s retro video de-sign and the viewers’ understanding of how linguistic devices can be effectively used in educational videos. The study confirms peer review as a feasible and effective quality as-surance approach that supports both collaboration and content improvement.

Our first talk at this year’s ED-Media conference in Barcelona was about „Inspired by generative AI, Ignoring Open Knowledge? Findings from a Longitudinal Study on Digital Equipment and Activities of Study Beginners at TU Graz (2011–2024)„. As has become something of a tradition, I have once again presented the results of our long-term study of our first-year students about IT equipment and the use of IT applications in general and for learning.

Es ist soweit, heute findet die Präsenzbühne des University Future Festivals 2025 an der TU Graz statt. Wir werden mit ca. 170 Personen vor Ort und wohl mehreren Tausenden Online einen tollen Tag verbringen.
Im Rahmen der Abschlusstagung des Projekts „INTER-DI-KO – Unterrichtskonstellationen vor dem Anspruch von Digitalisierung und Medienbildung“ an der PH Salzburg durfte ich eine Keynote halten mit dem Titel „Wenn KI (Schul-) Alltag ist, dann …„. Hier gibt es gerne meine Folien dazu:
