Learning Analytics supported Learning Design Workshop

Learning Analytics supported Learning Design Workshop

Project, Workshop
In the context of the hessian project, Digital gestütztes Lehren und Lernen in Hessen (digLL) organized the Innovation forum Trusted Learning Analytics (TLA) on 4th of February a workshop on Learning Analytics supported Learning Design with Marcel Schmitz. Marcel Schmitz is working for more than 16 years in Higher Education at Zuyd University of Applied Sciences in the South of the Netherlands. His career at Zuyd started as a Technical Support Engineer and Developer on the learning management system and soon he began to implement and develop several learning enhancing technologies. In 2007 Marcel started to combine his support job, with a job as technology-enhanced learning advisor for all faculties at Zuyd and a teaching role at Zuyd Faculty of Information and Communication Technology. In 2009 Marcel became a team coordinator…

KickOff DiFA project

KickOff DiFA project

Project
Group picture of the DiFA Consortium consisting of representatives from the Goethe-University Frankfurt, the Leibniz Institute LifBI, and the DIPF. On 03.02.2020 the KickOff of the DiFA project – Digital Formative Assessment – Unfolding its full potential by combining psychometrics with learnings analytics, took place at the DIPF. The DiFA project integrates methodological perspectives from educational assessment and learning analytics to develop new kinds of non-invasive assessment by exploiting digital trace data. The findings of this research are highly relevant for a better understanding of learner’s behavior, learning outcomes and for providing individual feedback automatically to learners in digital environments. More details about the project can be found on our project page.

Kick-Off of the European Project for Augmented Reality and Gamification Strategies in STEM subjects in European Schools

Kick-Off of the European Project for Augmented Reality and Gamification Strategies in STEM subjects in European Schools

Project
Espresso and Learning Apps – From 22nd to 24th January, the 7 partner organisations under the lead of the DIPF met at the ITT technical college in Florence. The Team of the EU project successfully kicked-off “AR4STEAM” and will, together with partners from civil society and the school sector in Europe, start to promote the use of augmented reality and gamification strategies in STEM subjects in schools over the next 2 ,5 years to make science lessons more attractive and innovative for teachers and students.

Trusted Learning Analytics Workshop am 14. eLearning-Netzwerktag der Goethe-Universität

Trusted Learning Analytics Workshop am 14. eLearning-Netzwerktag der Goethe-Universität

Conference, Project, Workshop
Am 11. Dezember 2019 fand der 14. eLearning-Netzwerktag der Goethe-Universität auf dem Campus Westend im Casino von 10 – 18 Uhr statt. Mehr als 200 Lehrende und eLearning-Interessierte aus der Goethe-Uni sowie aus anderen Hochschulen, Schulen und Bildungseinrichtungen sahen Präsentationen von eLearning-Lehrprojekten aus den Fachbereichen sowie studentische eLearning-Initiativen. Am Vormittag stellten insgesamt 18 Projekte aus den eLearning-Förderrunden eLF und SeLF ihre Arbeiten vor. Der Nachmittag stand im Zeichen des hessischen Verbundprojektes DigLL (Digital gestütztes Lehren und Lernen in Hessen), dessen Teilprojekte an der Goethe-Universität von Vizepräsident Prof. Dr. Roger Erb vorgestellt wurden. Für das DigLL Teilprojekt - Trusted Learning Analytics moderierten Prof. Dr. Drachsler and Dr. Christoph Rensing zwei Workshops rund um ethischer Richtlinien zur Anwendung von Learning Analytics in Deutschland.

Aufruf zur Teilnahme: Was erwartest du von einer digitalen Hochschule?

Aufruf zur Teilnahme: Was erwartest du von einer digitalen Hochschule?

Empirical Study, Project
Das Thema Learning Analytics gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung in der Bildungsforschung und Bildungspolitik. Darunter versteht man das Erheben, Sammeln und Analysieren von bildungsbezogenen Daten an Universitäten, mit dem Ziel die Lernenden besser zu verstehen und sie optimal beim Lernen zu unterstützen. Für welche Zwecke sollen Deine Daten genutzt werden? Welche Services könnten dich bei einem erfolgreichen Studium unterstützen? Welche Daten sollen nicht verwendet werden? Weil Studierende am meisten von dieser Weiterentwicklung betroffen sind, wollen wir - das digLL-Projekt - mehr über Eure Meinung erfahren.Studie

The means to a blend: A practical model for the redesign of face-to-face education to blended learning

The means to a blend: A practical model for the redesign of face-to-face education to blended learning

Project, Publication
Learning design models provide guidelines and guidance for educators and course designers in the production and delivery of educational products. It is seen as beneficial to base learning designs on general learning theories, but these must be operationalised into concrete learning design solutions. We, therefore, present one such educational design model: the Design Cycle for Education (DC4E). The model has primarily been created to support the shift from traditional face-to-face education to blended learning scenarios. The cycle describes eight steps that can be used iteratively in the (re)design of educational products and provides educators and course designers with a flexible but clearly structured design model that enables them to reinvent traditional course content for blended learning with appropriate learning design tools.
