[publication] On Using Interactivity to Monitor the Attendance of Students at Learning-Videos #tugraz #research

Another publication at this year ED-Media conference is about „On Using Interactivity to Monitor the Attendance of Students at Learning-Videos„. The presentation has been recorded and can be find here.
Abstract:

Many studies are claiming that compulsory attendance has its benefits for students because it is positively influencing their performance in consequence. This means that fully attending students are receiving a better grade than those who skip parts of the course. Whereas there are existing technologies to monitor the attendance of students in standard classroom situations the possibilities to provide such functionalities at online videos are limited. Because of that this work introduces an approach to assess the performance of students at videos. For that a web-platform which offers a detailed recording of the watched parts of videos is presented. The evaluation shows the performance of the students at a course consisting of videos with compulsory attendance and furthermore it points out that the approach for monitoring the attendance at online videos is basically working.

[publication] Project Based Learning: from the Idea to a Finished LEGO® Technic Artifact, Assembled by Using Smart Glasses #edmedia17

The first publication at this year ED-Media conference is about „Project Based Learning: from the Idea to a Finished LEGO® Technic Artifact, Assembled by Using Smart Glasses„. The presentation has been recorded and can be find here.
Abstract:

Smart Glasses and 3D printers are now easily available on the market. The challenge is how to integrate them efficiently in a learning environment. This paper suggests a project-based learning (PBL) scenario how to construct, produce and assemble a planetary gear using Open Source tools, LEGO® Technic, 3D printers and Smart Glasses. The whole project-based learning scenario was implemented together with a 16-year-old student. Additionally, the assembly process using Smart Glasses was tested by seven users in a qualitative evaluation. The feedback of the student of the target group together with the feedback of other subjects was considered to improve the PBL scenario and the Smart Glasses (ReconJet) application. The evaluation showed the potential of Smart Glasses to improve hands-free assembly processes and supports the user to understand the structure and functionality of mechanical objects.

How to MOOC – die Planungshilfe #oer #planunghilfe #ideenskizze #mooc #imoox

Mit Sandra Schön habe ich nun nach dem Lernvideo-Canvas und dem OER-Canvas, zwei DIN-A3-Druckvorlage zur Ideenskizze von entsprechenden Projekten, nun auch eine Vorlage für alle erarbeitet, die einen MOOC planen.

Im Unterschied zu den Lernvideo- und OER-Canvas benötigt der How-to-MOOC-Plan mehr Vorwissen und Begleitung, wir haben ihn für den Einsatz in einem MOOC-Workshop am CTL der Universität Wien entwickelt und dort getestet. Er wurde nach einigen grundlegenden Informationen eingesetzt, ergänzt mit entsprechenden Ausführungen (auch mehr als auf den Folien zu sehen ist, wie das halt so ist…).

Der How-To-MOOC-Plan ist ein kleines Büchlein, dass aus einer DIN-A3-großen Vorlage gefaltet wird. Es wird zunächst von vorne nach hinten durchgearbeitet.

Begleitend dazu einige Anmerkungen in folgender Präsentation:

Im Anschluss wird das Büchlein aufgefaltet und die Pfeile zeigen weitere Zusammenhänge auf, die bei der MOOC-Planung noch berücksichtigt werden bzw. ggf. überdacht werden müssen.

[publication] Does Gamification in MOOC Discussion Forums Work? #imoox #research #mooc

Our this year’s contribution to the eMOOCs conference is about „Does Gamification in MOOC Discussion Forums Work?„. The chapter is dealing with the idea to enhance a discussion forum with different gamification elements.

Abstract:

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are a new form of learning environment aimed towards accessibility and openness using contemporary technologies. One of the MOOC’s key features is the social interaction which usually takes place in discussion forums. This article focuses on reworking and analyzing the existing iMooX forum by enriching the new design with gamification elements. The intended objectives aim at refreshing the current style and improving its handling and usability. This article provides our experience of this implementation as well as examining whether or not the gamification ele-ments can help increase the participation rate and the teacher-to-student and student-to-student communication exchange. Results of the new design showed a good user satisfaction and a slight positive impact.
