[publication] Development of an Amazon Alexa App for a University Online Search #alexa #research #tugraz

Our chapter about „Development of an Amazon Alexa App for a University Online Search“ for the HCII 2022 conference got published.

Abstract:
Today, our homes become smarter and smarter. We started to interact with our home with Intelligent Personal Assistants, like Amazon Alexa. In this paper we want to present and give a review on the Alexa skill developed for an online search for resources like rooms, courses, and persons. The goal is to provide the users an easy-to-use way to ask for information like phone numbers, e-mail addresses, room details, … and the Alexa Skill should provide this information also in an easy understandable way. We will describe how we solved to formulate suitable search queries from spoken Alexa commands and how we presented them to the user accordingly. Other obstacles like the presentation of the search results, due to the limited context and prioritization for individual search results, to the user will be discussed.

[mooc] Start des MOOC zu „Lehren und Lernen mit digitalen Medien I“ #LuLI22 #imoox #tugraz

Es freut mich, dass heute der MOOC zu „Lehren und Lernen mit digitalen Medien I“ startet. Diese MOOC ist primär für eine Lehrveranstaltung des Entwicklungsverbundes-Süd-Ost der PädagogInnenBildung NEU vorgesehen und Teil der gesamten Ausbildungsinitiatve zu „Digitale Kompetenzen für Lehramtsstudierende“. Diese Lehrverastaltung soll helfen zukünftige Lehrerinnen und Lehrer fit zu machen für das neue digitale Zeitalter. Auch dürfen wir ankündigen, dass der MOOC runderherum mit großem Aufwand erneuert wurde um den neuesten Entwicklungen im Themenfeld entsprechend Rechnung zu tragen – hier einen großen Dank an alle meine Kolleg:innen für die tolle Arbeit.

Selbstverständlich ist der MOOC frei zugänglich und wir freuen uns wirklich wenn auch viele andere die Inhalte nützlich finden 🙂

Hier gibt es aber nun das Einführungsvideo mit einer kleinen Überraschung – man hat mich tatsächlich in eine Küche gestellt. Viel Spaß damit:

[publication] Supporting Learning and Teaching with Good Design: Report and Lessons Learned from Learning Experience Design in Higher Education #LXD #tugraz #research

Our chaper about „Supporting Learning and Teaching with Good Design: Report and Lessons Learned from Learning Experience Design in Higher Education“ got published (online first) and is free available 🙂

Abstract:
Learning experience design (LXD), that is, the conscious design of learning experiences based on the principles and methods of the design discipline, is a term that is increasingly being used in the design of (digital) learning environments. The aim is to make learning a positive, exciting experience for the learner. This article will introduce the understanding of “learning experience design” and describe its application at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz). As creativity is a base for the design discipline, the organizational unit “educational technology” sees LXD as a chance to develop innovative, quality online teaching and learning materials. The article will show the application and results of LXD of several different projects and resources developed for teachers and students by the educational technology team at TU Graz: the student study progress dashboard, the TELucation website relaunch, and the development of a modifiable digital template for lecturer training.

[imoox] MOOC zur Mathematik gestartet #imoox #MINT #tugraz #brückenkurs #kompass

Es freut uns, dass nun – schon fast traditionell – der Brückenkurs zur Mathematik gestartet ist. Ein MOOC der dazu dienen sollen, dass Schülerinnen und Schüler nochmals üben können, was für den guten Start ins Studium an den Technischen Universtitäten notwendig ist. Der Kurs wurde für 2023 überarbeitet und wiederum aktualisiert. Auch gibt es wieder eine MATLAB-Integration, mit der man üben kann. Die Lernziele sind dabei folgendermaßen definiert:

Dieser MOOC soll Schülerinnen und Schüler im Bereich Mathematik frühzeitig auf den Übergang an eine technische Hochschule vorbereiten. Die Inhalte zielen auf eine Wiederholung, Festigung und Vertiefung des Oberstufen-Lehrinhalts im Fach Mathematik ab und bereiten damit auf die Studieneingangsphase eines technischen Studiums und alltägliche Fertigkeiten eines technischen Studiums vor.

[publication] The ReDesign Canvas as a tool for the didactic-methodological redesign of courses and a case study #edil22 #tugraz

Our research, we presented at EdMedia + Innovate Learning 2022, about „The ReDesign Canvas as a tool for the didactic-methodological redesign of courses and a case study“ is now online available:

Abstract:
Initially, in March 2020, when COVID-19 forced conventional face-to-face to pure online teaching, didactic matters were only of secondary importance. At Graz University of Technology (TU Graz, Austria) both the support team for Educational Technology as well as the instructors were mostly concerned with solving technical challenges. Nevertheless, a special tool, the ReDesign Canvas, was available to support lecturers in their endeavor to also address the didactic aspects of their teaching systematically. The article presents the work of the Educational Technology team of TU Graz within the March 2020 COVID-19 crisis as well as the application of the canvas in a redesign of an exemplary lecture.

[publication] A decade of first-semester students surveys concerning IT equipment and communication applications and effect of Covid-19 related experiences for first-year students in 2021 #edil22 #tugraz

One of our contributions to the EdMedia + Innovate Learning 2022 is about „A decade of first-semester students surveys concerning IT equipment and communication applications and effect of Covid-19 related experiences for first-year students in 2021„

Abstract:
The technical equipment of first-year students and their preferred communication applications are changing, perhaps also influenced by their experiences in the Covid-19 pandemic concerning digital teaching and learning. This paper presents the 2021 survey of first-year students at Graz University of Technology (N=1,207) and compares the results concerning devices and applications with the results of the surveys conducted since 2011. It is striking that there are no striking changes in the endowment of the that can be interpreted as an effect of Covid-19 pandemic. A question introduced in 2021 about experiences with distance online instruction and experiences with online courses before and after Covid-19 shows clearly that new students‘ prior experiences with online learning here have dramatically changed as a result of school closures in Austria.
