Chinese-German Center for the Promotion of Science: Project Consulting

Conference, Keynote, Project

As part of the CDZ-funded project "Intercultural Perspectives on CI-supported Educational Technologies", Hendrik Drachsler travelled to Wuhan, China from the 25th of March 2019 to the 29th of March 2019, together with representatives of the HU Berlin. He is involved in the project as a consulting expert. The aim is to submit an application for learning analysis together with China and the DFG by the end of the year.

Profiling sympathetic arousal in a physics course: How active are students?

Publication

Pijeira-Díaz, H.J., Drachsler, H., Kirschner, P.A. & Järvelä, S. (2018). Profiling sympathetic arousal in a physics course: How active are students? Journal of Computer Assisted Learning Abstract Low arousal states (especially boredom) have been shown to be more deleterious to learning than high arousal states, though the latter have received much more attention (e.g., test anxiety, confusion, and frustration). Aiming at profiling arousal in the classroom (how active students are) and examining how activation levels relate to achievement, we studied sympathetic arousal during two runs of an elective advanced physics course in a real classroom setting, including the course exam. Participants were high school students (N = 24) who were randomly selected from the course population. Arousal was indexed from electrodermal activity, measured unobtrusively via the Empatica E4 wristband. Low arousal was the level…

Read Between the Lines: An Annotation Tool for Multimedia Data for Learning

Open access, Publication

DiMitri, D., Schneider, J., Klemke, R., Specht, M. & Drachsler, H. (2019). Read Between the Lines: An Annotation Tool for Multimodal Data for Learning. In: Proceedings of International Conference on Learning Analytics and Knowledge, Arizona, US, March 7–9, 2019 (LAK ’19). This paper introduces the Visual Inspection Tool (VIT) which supports researchers in the annotation of multimodal data as well as the processing and exploitation for learning purposes. While most of the existing Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) solutions are tailor-made for specific learning tasks and sensors, the VIT addresses the data annotation for different types of learning tasks that can be captured with a customisable set of sensors in a flexible way. The VIT supports MMLA researchers in 1) triangulating multimodal data with video recordings; 2) segmenting the multimodal data into…

Von der LAK19 -> LAK20 in Frankfurt, Germany

Conference, Publication, Workshop

Hendrik Drachsler und sein Team sowie Marc Rittberger waren vom 4. bis 8 März mit mehreren Beiträgen auf der neunten International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference 2019 (LAK 19, siehe Bild) in Tempe, USA, vertreten. Dazu gehörte zum Beispiel ein umfangreiches, gemeinsam mit Forschenden von der Open University of the Netherlands verfasstes Paper mit dem Titel Read Between the Lines: An Annotation Tool for Multimodal Data for Learning. Die LAK 20 findet übrigens nächstes Jahr vom 23. bis 27. März an der Goethe-Universität statt – mit ausgerichtet von unseren Kolleginnen und Kollegen. The 10th International Learning Analytics and Knowledge Conference will be held at University of Frankfurt, in Germany on March 23–27, 2020.
