[publication] Open educational resources in continuing adult education: development in the German-speaking area #OER #research

Our article about „Open educational resources in continuing adult education: development in the German-speaking area“ got published in the Journal „Smart Learnining Environment„. We aimed to give a short overview about the situation in the german-speaking area.

Abstract:
Open Educational Resources (OER) allow many different uses in educational work that are excluded from traditional materials by copyright laws, such as modifying and republishing existing materials. This article examines the current role of OER in the field of adult education in German-speaking area, especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Although nowadays the topic of digitization is given a high strategic importance in continuing education in Switzerland, OER plays just a subordinate role there.

[publication] The Missing Link to Computational Thinking

Congratulations to my PhD-student who did his first publication about a literature research to computational thinking. His work got published right now in Future Internet, enjoy the great reading.

Abstract:
After a lengthy debate within the scientific community about what constitutes the problem solving approach of computational thinking (CT), the focus shifted to enable the integration of CT within compulsory education. This publication strives to focus the discussion and enable future research in an educational setting with a strong focus on the Austrian circumstances and the goal to allow wide international adoption later on. Methodically, a literature review was conducted to gain knowledge about the current strands of research and a meta study to show the diversity of proposed and materialized studies. Three main questions were answered, establishing that CT as an idea is rooted in scientific literature dating back to the 1980s and grew in popularity after Wing introduced the concept to a broader audience. A number of authors contributed to the current state of the field, with the most cited review coming from Grover and Pea. The challenge to integrate CT in curricula around the world was met by many experiments and case studies but without a conclusive framework as of yet. Ultimately, this paper determines that expert integration is a blank spot in the literature and aims to create a strong, inclusive path to CT education by inviting practitioners.

[publication] Development of a Quiz – Implementation of a (Self-) Assessment Tool and its Integration in Moodle #elearning #eassessment

Our publication about „Development of a Quiz – Implementation of a (Self-) Assessment Tool and its Integration in Moodle“ got published in the new issue of the Journal of Emerging Technologies for Learning (i-JET).

Abstract:
Technology Enhanced Learning has become more popular in recent times and many organizations and universities use it as a key instrument in various teaching and training scenarios. At the University of Technology of Graz, some courses require randomized quizzes where question variables can be assigned by arbitrary mathematical functions and this feature is missing in the current solutions. This article describes the development of a quiz application that can be integrated into Moodle by utilization of the Learning Tools Interoperability protocol (LTI). The PHP application is built to support programmable questions that can contain JavaScript and HTML code. Teachers are able to build interactive, randomized quizzes, in which the random variables can be assigned with complex mathematical functions. Furthermore, the application provides a programmable grading mechanism. With this mechanism, it is possible for students to self-assess their performance, as well as for teachers to formally assess their students‘ learning success automatically and send the results back to Moodle (or other LTI compatible consumer applications).

[article] Neue Dimensionen des Lernens – Weiterbildung mittels MOOCs #moox #imoox

In der Zeitschrift habe ich einen kurzen Artikel zu „Neue Dimensionen des Lernens – Weiterbildung mittels MOOCs“ veröffentlicht.

Abstract:

Massive Open Online Courses, kurz MOOCs, sind einer der Trends im Bereich des tech- nologiegestützten Lehrens und Lernens. Daher ist es wenig verwunderlich, dass alle Bildungssektoren davon profitieren können. Am Beispiel der MOOC-Plattform iMooX. at wird in dem Beitrag die Sichtweise auf diese Form von Online-Kursen dargelegt und gezeigt, auf welch vielfältige Weise diese die Bildung der Gesellschaft erweitern können. Insbesondere ist durch das Aufkommen neuer (medien)didaktischer Formen der Einsatz beträchtlich erweitert worden, sodass MOOCs zukünftig wohl noch eine größere Rolle spielen werden.

[publication] Learning Analytics: Einsatz an österreichischen Hochschulen #fnma #LearningAnalytics

Unsere gemeinsaem Publikation zu „Learning Analytics: Einsatz an österreichischen Hochschulen“ versucht ein gemeinsames Verständnis für das Themenfeld zu schaffen und ist nun auch online zugänglich:

Zusammenfassung:

Learning Analytics ist sowohl international als auch national ein immer mehr an Bedeutung gewinnendes Themenfeld, welches dabei helfen kann, Lehr- und Lernprozesse besser zu verstehen und gezielt zu optimieren. Dieses Whitepaper soll eine erste Orientierung zu diesem Thema geben und dabei speziell die österreichische Hochschullandschaft adressieren.
Ausgehend von der Definition: “Learning Analytics umfasst die Analyse, Darstellung und Interpretation von Daten aus Lehr- und Lernsettings mit dem Zweck, dass Lernende ihr Lernen unmittelbar verändern können” werden Herausforderungen benannt und der Status Quo in Österreich präsentiert. Daraus werden sechs Argumente für Learning Analytics abgeleitet und vier konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen ausgesprochen.

[publication] Mehr als nur ein MOOC – Sieben Lehr-und Lernszenarien zur Nutzung von MOOCs in der Hochschullehre und anderen Bildungsbereichen #MOOC #IMOOX #gmw19 #tugraz

Im Rahmen der heurigen Jahrestagung der GMW in Berlin haben wir einen Beitrag verfasst zu „Mehr als nur ein MOOC – Sieben Lehr-und Lernszenarien zur Nutzung von MOOCs in der Hochschullehre und anderen Bildungsbereichen„.

Zusammenfasssung:

Seit 2010 sind Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) eines der am häufigsten diskutierten und beforschten Themen im Bereich der Lehr- und Lerntechnologien. Aufgrund des offenen und kostenfreien Zugangs ziehen solche Kurse tausende von Lernenden weltweit an; auch immer mehr Hochschulen beginnen, eigene MOOCs zu produzieren. Im vorliegenden Artikel werden MOOCs und damit verknüpfte Lehr- und Lernszenarien betrachten. Langjährige Erfahrungen mit diversen MOOCs haben gezeigt, dass diese von Lehrenden oder Lernenden auf unterschied-liche Art und Weisen eingesetzt werden. Im Beitrag werden sieben MOOC-Lehr- und -Lernszenarien beschrieben: der konventionelle MOOC, der Intro-MOOC, der Blended-MOOC, der Inter-MOOC, der Inverse-Blended-MOOC, der Flipped-MOOC und der Vorlegungs-MOOC. Mit dieser aktuellen Typologie von Lehr- und Lernszenarien an Hochschulen (und weiteren Bildungssektoren) und den Fallbei-spielen wird gezeigt, dass ein MOOC eben „mehr als nur ein MOOC“ sein kann.
