[iPad] 1×1 Trainer HD #tugraz #iOS #einmaleins #math

1x1 TrainerEs freut uns ankündigen zu können, dass wir nun auch einen 1×1 Trainer für den iPad anbieten können. Mit Hilfe eines kleinen Pandas dürfen die Rechnungen eingegeben werden. Zusätzlich ist es so, dass wenn man einen Account in unserem Learninglab besitzt, wird alles mitgespeichert und damit die Rechnungen abgestimmt auf den Lernstand.

This App is supposed to help children with learning multiplication tables up to ten.
It is possible to create an account for tracking your success. If a registered user is playing, problematical calculations are tested more often.
There are three difficulty levels and two different modes. In one of the modes the correct result has to be entered by numerical buttons and in the other one the result has to be chosen from seven numbers.
The friendly assistent Paul the panda is commenting your learning sessions.
Have fun!

The goal is to solve simple math problems, for which you get rewarded with stars. With these stars you are able to unlock new backgrounds and character models.
The gameplay is based on the old Donkey Kong game, where you have to climb ladders to reach the goal.
Each climed ladder adds another piece to the equation showing in the top right corner. If the equation is wrong, the right path will be displayed.
All levels are randomly generated.

[publication] Engaging Learning Analytics in MOOCS: the good, the bad, and the ugly #tugraz #mooc

Our publication about „Engaging Learning Analytics in MOOCS: the good, the bad, and the ugly“ at this year END Conference in Lubijana is now online available. The presentation slides have already been published here.

Abstract:

Learning Analytics is an emerging field in the vast areas of Educational Technology and Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). It provides tools and techniques that offer researchers the ability to analyze, study, and benchmark institutions, learners and teachers as well as online learning environments such as MOOCs. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are considered to be a very active and an innovative form of bringing educational content to a broad community. Due to the reasons of being free and accessible to the public, MOOCs attracted a large number of heterogeneous learners who differ in education level, gender, and age. However, there are pressing demands to adjust the quality of the hosted courses, as well as controlling the high dropout ratio and the lack of interaction. With the help of Learning Analytics, it is possible to contain such issues. In this publication, we discuss the principles of engaging Learning Analytics in MOOCs learning environments and review its potential and capabilities (the good), constraints (the bad), and fallacy analytics (the ugly) based on our experience in last year’s.

[iphone, app] StepForward+ #tugraz #AppDevelopment #iOS

StepForward+Im Rahmen unserer Vorlesung „Mobile Applications 2016“ hat man eine App zum Schritt zählen erstellt:

StepForward uses the built-in motion sensor in your iPhone to track your daily and weekly step activity. The track data is then used to present the appropriate information you need in order to keep up to your goals. For every step you take, you get one step closer to earn achievements based on your progress. The purpose of the achievements is to motivate you to stay healthy and walk more, but also to make it more entertaining. This application is developed by two Swedish exchange student at TU Graz, Austria, in the course Mobile Applications.
Every step you take, every move you make, we’ll be counting it!

[publication] What Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Stakeholders Can Learn from Learning Analytics? #tugraz

Our chapter about „What Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Stakeholders Can Learn from Learning Analytics?“ got published as part of the International Compendium of Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy of Learning, Design and Technology.
Abstract:

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are the road that led to a revolution and a new era of learning environments. Educational institutions have come under pressure to adopt new models that assure openness in their education distribution. Nonetheless, there is still altercation about the pedagogical approach and the absolute information delivery to the students. On the other side with the use of Learning Analytics, powerful tools become available which mainly aim to enhance learning and improve learners’ performance. In this chapter, the development phases of a Learning Analytics prototype and the experiment of integrating it into a MOOC platform, called iMooX will be presented. This chapter explores how MOOC stakeholders may benefit from Learning Analytics as well as it reports an exploratory analysis of some of the offered courses and demonstrates use cases as a typical evaluation of this prototype in order to discover hidden patterns, overture future proper decisions, and to optimize learning with applicable and convenient interventions.

[publication] What is Learning Analytics about? A Survey of Different Methods Used in 2013-2015 #LearningAnalytics #tugraz

Our publication about „What is Learning Analytics about? A Survey of Different Methods Used in 2013-2015“ for this year Smart Learning Excellence Conference in Dubai is now online available. The slides have been already published here.
Abstract:

The area of Learning Analytics has developed enormously since the first International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge (LAK) in 2011. It is a field that combines different disciplines such as computer science, statistics, psychology and pedagogy to achieve its intended objectives. The main goals illustrate in creating convenient interventions on learning as well as its environment and the final optimization about learning domain’s stakeholders (Khalil & Ebner, 2015b). Because the field matures and is now adapted in diverse educational settings, we believe there is a pressing need to list its own research methods and specify its objectives and dilemmas. This paper surveys publications from Learning Analytics and Knowledge conference from 2013 to 2015 and lists the significant research areas in this sphere. We consider the method profile and classify them into seven different categories with a brief description on each. Furthermore, we show the most cited method categories using Google scholar. Finally, the authors raise the challenges and constraints that affect its ethical approach through the meta-analysis study. It is believed that this paper will help researchers to identify the common methods used in Learning Analytics, and it will assist by establishing a future forecast towards new research work taking into account the privacy and ethical issues of this strongly emerged field.

[imoox, coer] Online-Kurs zu Open Educational Resources (COER16) startet heute #coer16 #imoox #mooin

Es freut mich ganz besonders, dass nach dem COER13 und dem COER15 es wieder gelungen ist, den Online-Kurs zu Open Educational Resources zu starten. Wenig überraschend heuer unter dem Kürzel COER16. Und wir haben uns auch diesesmal wieder etwas überlegt – eine Weltpremiere (!). Erstmalig wird ein MOOC auf zwei Plattformen parallel durchgeführt und man kann sich je nach Lust & Laune entweder bei

Die Betreuung der beiden Kurse haben wir uns aufgeteilt, während Andreas Wittke und Anja Lorenz für das mooin-Team einspringen, machen es Sandra Schön und ich bei iMooX. Wir haben uns also viel überlegt und den Kurs gegenüber den Vorjahren doch entscheidend wieder erweitert und es kommen noch mehr Expertinnen und Experten zu Wort. Mehr wird aber nicht mehr verraten – mitmachen, erstellen, remixen, wiederverwenden, diese Worte sollen Sie einfach ab sofort immer begleiten 🙂 .

Anklicken um zu sehen, wieviel Spaß wir hatten :-)
