[publication] Use of Learning-Analytics-Applications in Mathematic with Elementary Learners #LearningAnalytics

Our paper about „Use of Learning-Analytics-Applications in Mathematic with Elementary Learners“ got published in the International Journal of Academic Research in Education.
Abstract:

This paper describes a study about the use of learning analytical applications in everyday school life. The research study took place in an Austrian secondary school during the mathematics courses. The subjects of the courses were the four basic arithmetical operations in the set of the natural numbers. All together two mathematics classes with 46 children at the age of 10 to 11 participated in this study. The aim was to test the usefulness of mathematics trainers, developed by the University of Technology in Graz, under real conditions. Therefore, one of the classes was determined as the experimental group, which studied with the mathematics trainers. The other class was set as the control group. This class operated with traditional exercise sheets. A pre-test and post-test control-group study indicated that the use of mathematics trainers does not decrease learning outcomes, but it points out other benefits during the whole learning arrangement. These advantages include error analysis, time saving in comparing the homework and enjoying the work with the trainers.

[publication] Mining and Visualizing Trends from Educational Systems using Linked Data

Our chapter about „Mining and Visualizing Trends from Educational Systems using Linked Data“ as part of the book „Immersive Education“ got published.
Abstract:

This work introduces a case study on usage of semantic context modelling and creation of Linked Data from logs in educational systems like a Personal Learning Environment (PLE) with purpose on improvements in generally with respect to social and semantic analysis of the parameters on user and activity centric level. Sample case study demonstrates the usage of semantic modelling of the activity context using adequate domain specific ontologies and semantic technologies and visualization of such data as result of analysis of such modelled data represented in the form of Linked Data. This approach implies the easy interfacing and extensibility on machine or human level offering fast insight on statistical trends.

[publication] A Contribution to Collaborative Learning Using iPads for School Children

Our chapter about „A Contribution to Collaborative Learning Using iPads for School Children“ as part of the book „Immersive Education“ got published.
Abstract:

Collaboration has a very positive effect on students’ learning experiences as well as their social interactions. Our research study aims towards enhancing the learning experience, stimulating communication and cooperative behavior to improve learning. Making use of recent technological advancements (tablets) and gaming as a motivational factor, a prototype application in form of a multiplayer learning game for iPads was designed and developed. In a face-to-face setting, connecting up to four devices, the players (learners) have to solve word puzzles in a collaborative way. Furthermore, a web-interface for teachers provides the possibility to create custom content as well as to receive feedback of the children’s performance. A first field study at two primary schools in Graz showed promising results for the learning behavior of school children.

[app] Divisionstrainer #App #LearningAnalytics

DivisionstrainerDer Divisionstrainer ist nun online, wie ich hier berichtet habe. Nun haben wir bereits eine iOS-App entwickelt die einerseits einen Trainingsmodus und andererseits eben den Übungsmodus implementiert hat.

The Online-System generates some Division questions with increasing difficulty levels. You can see your calculation and errors immediately after entering the solution. As a result, you are able to analyze your errors and improve your division skills.
If you play in online mode, you need an account from the learning lab of the TU Graz.

Um den Übungsmodus spielen zu können ist eine Registration bei https://schule.learninglab.tugraz.at notwendig.
