[publication] Have They Changed? Five Years of Survey on Academic Net-Generation

Our publication at this year ED-Media Confernece in Denver, USA is now online available. It’s about our surveys with our first year students. The slides of the talk are already published here.
Abstract:

At Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) a questionnaire amongst freshmen is carried out each year since 2007. Aim of this poll is to check IT and Web 2.0 competences and skills of the new students coming to TU Graz in order to adapt the e-learning services for their study at TU Graz. Furthermore the results mirror current trends and changing behaviors of young people said to be the net-generation often postulated to which we and our teachers will face to. After five years of investigations time has come to take a look back and reel up processes and progresses not only because five years match the standard duration of a study at TU Graz. Which trends have been established, which assumptions did not arrive, what happened totally unexpected? This paper targets the main changes within the last five years due to this subject. It compares the five study years and outlines the current study results of 2011 in. One of the main results over five years is that the net-generation did arrive but slowly adapt their study life to what they are already used to do in private.

[publication] Fun – A Prerequisite for Learning Games

Our second publication at this year ED-Media Confernece in Denver, USA is now online available. It ist about the learning game we did to enhance the fun factor during learning. The slides of the talk are already published here. If you like to know more about the game follow this link.
Abstract:

Mobile games are booming. On average, every child in Central Europe aged 15 years has a mobile phone on his/her own today. If a closer look is taken, it can be pointed out that children mainly own a smart phone running on iOS or Android operating systems. With other words, the youth carry very strong and powerful devices in their pockets, which can and should be used for educational purposes too. In this publication we like to introduce a new mobile game basing on the old traditional concept of learning cards but in a new innovative and more collaborating variant. The first prototype is presented that has been tested by a number of students and educators. It can be shown that the game is motivating and engaging. Furthermore an occurring incidental learning effect can be carried out, which leads to the assumption that mobile games can play an important role for the future of education and it makes simply fun.

LipDup an der TU Graz


Ich gebe zu ich war skeptisch, als im November die Idee von den Studierenden aufgekommen ist einen LipDup an der TU Graz zu machen. Aber klarerweise war ich begeistert und sagte meine Unterstützung zu.
Nun es ist heute soweit, es ist der Drehtag und wir werden quer durch die Gebäude der TU Graz laufen.

Mit Sicherheit werden wir auch viel Spaß haben und was mich persönlich am meisten freut ist, dass es eine Aktion der gesamten TU geworden ist, dass MitarbeiterInnen und Studierende gemeinsam teilnehmen. Also haltet uns die Daumen, dann gibt es in wenigen Tagen hier noch einen Film zu sehen. In der Zwischenzeit liefert die Homepage weitere Details – L3T’s Rock 🙂 .

[publication] Podcasting for Electrical Power Systems

Our contribution about „Podcasting for Electrical Power Systems“ for this year MIPRO 2012 conference is now online available.
Abstract:

This paper reflects six years of managing (lecture) recording activities at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) with a special eye on the broad experiences of the Institute of Electrical Power Systems of TU Graz (IFEA) according to podcasting as well as their advantages of using this service. Furthermore the paper analyses the history, development, and management, its increase, aspects of evaluation, and didactics as well as its future trends, facing the challenges of a university wide automated recording system. The paper too presents the latest development of an integrated search functionality offered for each single recording serviced by the Department of Social Learning (DSL) of TU Graz. This is made possible on base of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) recognition of indexed video frames. Podcasting has become an integrated part of teaching activities at IFEA and at TU Graz in general. It will be further enlarged to an automated system providing high quality multimedia lecture recordings.

[presentation] Ist ein Lehrbuch morgen noch ein Buch?

Im Rahmen der 10. Koblenzer eLearning Tage 2012, wurde ich eingeladen einen Vortrag über E-Books zu halten. Ich habe mich entschieden ein zuerst die Thematik generell zu beleuchten und versuche danach jene Aspekte aufzugreifen die am meisten vom derzeitigen Wandel betroffen sind. Anhand von L3T und L3T’s Work zeichne ich abschließend das Zukunftsbild.
