One of our contributions to the EdMedia + Innovate Learning 2022 was about „A decade of first-semester students surveys concerning IT equipment and communication applications and effect of Covid-19 related experiences for first-year students in 2021“

Abstract:
The technical equipment of first-year students and their preferred communication applications are changing, perhaps also influenced by their experiences in the Covid-19 pandemic concerning digital teaching and learning. This paper presents the 2021 survey of first-year students at Graz University of Technology (N=1,207) and compares the results concerning devices and applications with the results of the surveys conducted since 2011. It is striking that there are no striking changes in the endowment of the that can be interpreted as an effect of Covid-19 pandemic. A question introduced in 2021 about experiences with distance online instruction and experiences with online courses before and after Covid-19 shows clearly that new students‘ prior experiences with online learning here have dramatically changed as a result of school closures in Austria.

Our article about „An Exploratory Mixed Method Study on H5P Videos and Video-Related Activities in a MOOC Environment“ got finally published already last year but was not mentioned in my weblog so far :

In this paper, an exploratory mixed-method study is presented examining the video-related behavior of participants of a massive open online course (MOOC; N=1.238). Firstly, detailed log-file analysis of six videos has been carried out to compare clickstreams of videos with and without integrated H5P quiz integration. It shows quite different seeking and watching pattern behavior in video with H5P quizzes. In a second step, learners participated in an online questionnaire (N=707): Most of them see the quizzes in videos as always or mostly helpful (67%). The survey also shows that for many, taking notes, turning on subtitles, using the transcripts or even increasing the speed are important activities when learning with the videos in the MOOC. In a third step, interviews with ten MOOC participants are a source for qualitative insights in how the learners use the learning videos.

A milestone in OER history in Austria – and unique worldwide: On Wednesday this week presented the new Website about the Austrian OER certification – a OER certificate for universities and persons. https://oer-zertifikat.at.

Ich freue mich sehr darüber, im Rahmen des Projekts „Open Education Austria Advanced“ nicht nur bei der Einführung der OER-Zertifizierung mitwirken zu können – sondern auch persönlich darüber, selbst das Personenzertifikat bekommen zu haben.

I was very happy about the opportunity and the exchange with the colleagues – and especially on the level of the national strategy there is still a lot to learn and exchange! – Of course it is really a challenge to trace the development of OER in Austria in a few minutes, even if you only focus on the field of Higher Education.

Es ist OERweek! Mein Beitrag dazu heute für die OER week @ Campus Luzern dreht sich um die Frage, warum Lehrende an Hochschulen OER überhaupt machen. Ich werde dazu zwar erstmal mit der Perspektive der UNESCO beginnen – aber was bewegt eigentlich uns und auch mich OER zu machen? Für alle Argumente werde ich leider gar nicht ausführlich Zeit haben. Und das auch, weil ich in Sachen Künstlicher Intelligenz und deren Einsatz für OER auch noch ein ganz besonderes Schmankerl als „Sneek Preview“ ankündigen darf – entwickelt rund um Martin Ebner und dem wunderbaren iMooX.at Team.

Last year we wrote a short essay about the digital transformation in higher education and how we are able to describe the current situation. Therfore, we propose a stage model of digital transformation.

Beim OERcamp 2022 hat sich ziemlich viel um die OER-Strategie der deutschen Bundesregierung gedreht. Gemeinsam mit Javiera Atenas habe ich mir daher zum einen angeschaut, was rund um OER-Policys in der österreichischen Hochschullandschaft passiert ist und zum anderen, wie es international zu OER-Policys bestellt ist. Die Folien mit weiterführender Literatur gibt es hier, nun auch einen kurzen Bericht dazu hier und die Videoaufzeichnung auch direkt hier:
