T1  - Students’ acceptance of technology-mediated teaching – How it was influenced during the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020
BT  - A study from Germany
JF  - Frontiers in psychology / Frontiers Research Foundation
N2  - In response to the impending spread of COVID-19, universities worldwide abruptly stopped face-to-face teaching and switched to technology-mediated teaching. As a result, the use of technology in the learning processes of students of different disciplines became essential and the only way to teach, communicate and collaborate for months. In this crisis context, we conducted a longitudinal study in four German universities, in which we collected a total of 875 responses from students of information systems and music and arts at four points in time during the spring–summer 2020 semester. Our study focused on (1) the students’ acceptance of technology-mediated learning, (2) any change in this acceptance during the semester and (3) the differences in acceptance between the two disciplines. We applied the Technology Acceptance Model and were able to validate it for the extreme situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. We extended the model with three new variables (time flexibility, learning flexibility and social isolation) that influenced the construct of perceived usefulness. Furthermore, we detected differences between the disciplines and over time. In this paper, we present and discuss our study’s results and derive short- and long-term implications for science and practice.

T1  - Measuring the effects of course modularizations in online courses for life-long learners
JF  - Frontiers in Education
N2  - Many participants in Massive Open Online Courses are full-time employees seeking greater flexibility in their time commitment and the available learning paths. We recently addressed these requirements by splitting up our 6-week courses into three 2-week modules followed by a separate exam. Modularizing courses offers many advantages: Shorter modules are more sustainable and can be combined, reused, and incorporated into learning paths more easily. Time flexibility for learners is also improved as exams can now be offered multiple times per year, while the learning content is available independently. In this article, we answer the question of which impact this modularization has on key learning metrics, such as course completion rates, learning success, and no-show rates. Furthermore, we investigate the influence of longer breaks between modules on these metrics. According to our analysis, course modules facilitate more selective learning behaviors that encourage learners to focus on topics they are the most interested in. At the same time, participation in overarching exams across all modules seems to be less appealing compared to an integrated exam of a 6-week course. While breaks between the modules increase the distinctive appearance of individual modules, a break before the final exam further reduces initial interest in the exams. We further reveal that participation in self-paced courses as a preparation for the final exam is unlikely to attract new learners to the course offerings, even though learners' performance is comparable to instructor-paced courses. The results of our long-term study on course modularization provide a solid foundation for future research and enable educators to make informed decisions about the design of their courses.

T1  - Entwicklung und Durchführung eines Seminars zur Förderung der Diagnosekompetenz von Lehramtsstudierenden der Grundschulpädagogik Deutsch im Bereich der Leseflüssigkeit
JF  - PSI-Potsdam: Ergebnisbericht zu den Aktivitäten im Rahmen der Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung (2019-2023) (Potsdamer Beiträge zur Lehrerbildung und Bildungsforschung ; 3)
N2  - Die differenzierte und individuelle Förderung der Leseflüssigkeit in heterogenen Gruppen erfordert ein hohes Maß an diagnostischer Kompetenz. Diese kann nicht allein durch die Vermittlung von Wissen gefördert werden, sondern muss zusätzlich durch praxisnahe Übungen sukzessive ausgebildet werden. Um die Diagnosekompetenz von Masterstudierenden der Grundschulpädagogik (Deutsch) an der Universität zu Potsdam zu fördern, wurde im Rahmen des Projekts PSI-Potsdam ein Seminar entwickelt und durchgeführt, das nach der Idee des Blended Learning mit digitalen Übungen angereichert ist und eine Förderung der Diagnosekompetenz über einen längeren Zeitraum gewährleisten soll. In dem Beitrag werden nach einer theoretischen Einführung sowie einer Darlegung der Relevanz des Seminarkonzepts für Lehrkräfte der Primarstufe Deutsch die Entwicklung und Einbettung der Übungstools im Seminar dargestellt sowie deren praktischer Einsatz diskutiert.
N2  - The differentiated and individual promotion of reading fluency in heterogeneous groups requires a high level of diagnostic competence. This competence cannot be promoted by imparting knowledge alone, but must be also gradually trained through practical exercises. In order to promote the diagnostic competence of master’s students of primary school education (German language) at the University of Potsdam, a seminar was developed and conducted as part of the PSI-Potsdam project. Based on the idea of blended learning, the seminar is enriched with digital exercises and is intended to ensure the promotion of diagnostic competence over a longer period of time. The following article first gives a theoretical introduction and discusses the importance of the seminar concept for primary school teachers (German). Finally, the development of the practice tools and their embedding in the seminar will be shown and their practical use will be discussed.

T1  - Entwicklung und Einbindung eines „Online-Trainings der mathematischen Diagnosekompetenz“ in Seminaren des Lehramtsstudiums für die Primarstufe
JF  - PSI-Potsdam: Ergebnisbericht zu den Aktivitäten im Rahmen der Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung (2019-2023) (Potsdamer Beiträge zur Lehrerbildung und Bildungsforschung ; 3)
N2  - Zukünftige Lehrkräfte auf den Umgang mit Heterogenität vorzubereiten, besonders im Primarschulbereich, ist ein Ziel der Lehrkräftebildung. Ein Ansatz dazu ist die Förderung diagnostischer Kompetenzen von Studierenden. E-Learning-Angebote bieten hierzu angesichts der Individualisierung von Lernprozessen sowie der Möglichkeiten einer Integration in bereits bestehende Seminare viele Vorteile. Im Rahmen der Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung wurde daher ein Online-Training entwickelt, das die mathematische Diagnosekompetenz von Studierenden stärken soll. Das Training ist ein E-Learning-Angebot, das im Selbststudium durchlaufen werden kann und aus Lehrvideos, interaktiven Schüler:innenvideos und interaktiven Übungen besteht. An der Universität Potsdam wurde das Training bisher in drei Seminaren des Lehramtsstudiums für die Primarstufe integriert und evaluiert. Aus der Evaluation mittels Fragebögen ging hervor, dass von Studierenden und Lehrenden die Integration positiv bewertet wird.
N2  - Preparing future teachers to deal with heterogeneity, especially in primary schools, is one of the goals of teacher education. One approach to this is the promotion of students’ diagnostic competence. E-learning tools are evaluated as useful for this purpose. They can help to individualize the learning process and can easily be integrated into existing seminar concepts of the academic program. Within the project “Qualitätsoffensive Lehrerbildung” an online training has been developed to strengthen students’ diagnostic competences related to mathematics. The training has been developed as e-learning for self-study. It consists of instructional videos, interactive pupil videos, and interactive exercises. It has been integrated and evaluated in three seminar concepts for primary school teachers at the University of Potsdam. The integration was positively rated by students and lecturers.

T1  - A retrospective feedback of MOOCS in Morocco
BT  - what is the best scenario for the Moroccan higher education?
JF  - EMOOCs 2023 : Post-Covid Prospects for Massive Open Online Courses - Boost or Backlash?
N2  - The integration of MOOCs into the Moroccan Higher Education (MHE) took place in 2013 by developing different partnerships and projects at national and international levels. As elsewhere, the Covid-19 crisis has played an important role in accelerating distance education in MHE. However, based on our experience as both university professors and specialists in educational engineering, the effective execution of the digital transition has not yet been implemented. Thus, in this article, we present a retrospective feedback of MOOCs in Morocco, focusing on the policies taken by the government to better support the digital transition in general and MOOCs in particular. We are therefore seeking to establish an optimal scenario for the promotion of MOOCs, which emphasizes the policies to be considered, and which recalls the importance of conducting a delicate articulation taking into account four levels, namely environmental, institutional, organizational and individual. We conclude with recommendations that are inspired by the Moroccan academic contex that focus on the major role that MOOCs plays for university students and on maintaining lifelong learning.

JF  - EMOOCs 2023 : Post-Covid Prospects for Massive Open Online Courses - Boost or Backlash?
N2  - Thai MOOC Academy is a national digital learning platform that has been serving as a mechanism for promoting lifelong learning in Thailand since 2017. It has recently undergone significant improvements and upgrades, including the implementation of a credit bank system and a learner’s eportfolio system interconnected with the platform. Thai MOOC Academy is introducing a national credit bank system for accreditation and management, which allows for the transfer of expected learning outcomes and educational qualifications between formal education, non-formal education, and informal education. The credit bank system has five distinct features, including issuing forgery-prevented certificates, recording learning results, transferring external credits within the same wallet, accumulating learning results, and creating a QR code for verification purposes. The paper discusses the features and future potential of Thai MOOC Academy, as it is extended towards a sandbox for the national credit bank system in Thailand.

T1  - How to reuse inclusive stem Moocs in blended settings to engage young girls to scientific careers
JF  - EMOOCs 2023 : Post-Covid Prospects for Massive Open Online Courses - Boost or Backlash?
N2  - The FOSTWOM project (2019–2022), an ERASMUS+ funding, gave METID (Politecnico di Milano) and the MOOC Técnico (Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon), together with other partners, the opportunity to support the design and creation of gender-inclusive MOOCs. Among other project outputs, we designed a toolkit and a framework that enabled the production of two MOOCs for undergraduate and graduate students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) and used them as academic content free of gender stereotypes about intellectual ability. In this short paper, the authors aim to 1) briefly share the main outputs of the project; 2) tell the story of how the FOSTWOM approach together with 3) a motivational strategy, the Heroine’s Learning Journey, proved to be effective in the context of rural and marginal areas in Brazil, with young girls as a specific target audience.

T1  - What makes an educational video?
BT  - deconstructing characteristics of video production styles for
MOOCs
JF  - EMOOCs 2023 : Post-Covid Prospects for Massive Open Online Courses - Boost or Backlash?
N2  - In an effort to describe and produce different formats for video instruction, the research community in technology-enhanced learning, and MOOC scholars in particular, have focused on the general style of video production: whether it is a digitally scripted “talk-and-chalk” or a “talking head” version of a learning unit. Since these production styles include various sub-elements, this paper deconstructs the inherited elements of video production in the context of educational live-streams. Using over 700 videos – both from synchronous and asynchronous modalities of large video-based platforms (YouTube and Twitch), 92 features were found in eight categories of video production. These include commonly analyzed features such as the use of green screen and a visible instructor, but also less studied features such as social media connections and changing camera perspective depending on the topic being covered. Overall, the research results enable an analysis of common video production styles and a toolbox for categorizing new formats – independent of their final (a)synchronous use in MOOCs. Keywords: video production, MOOC video styles, live-streaming.

T1  - Preparing for Society 5.0 with MOOC Capabilities Extension
BT  - an industry-academia collaboration on learning analytics dashboard development
JF  - EMOOCs 2023 : Post-Covid Prospects for Massive Open Online Courses - Boost or Backlash?
N2  - Academia-industry collaborations are beneficial when both sides bring strengths to the partnership and the collaboration outcome is of mutual benefit. These types of collaboration projects are seen as a low-risk learning opportunity for both parties. In this paper, government initiatives that can change the business landscape and academia-industry collaborations that can provide upskilling opportunities to fill emerging business needs are discussed. In light of Japan’s push for next-level modernization, a Japanese software company took a positive stance towards building new capabilities outside what it had been offering its customers. Consequently, an academic research group is laying out infrastructure for learning analytics research. An existing learning analytics dashboard was modularized to allow the research group to focus on natural language processing experiments while the software company explores a development framework suitable for data visualization techniques and artificial intelligence development. The results of this endeavor demonstrate that companies working with academia can creatively explore collaborations outside typical university-supported avenues.

T1  - “One video fit for all”
BT  - game inspired online TEACHING in mathematics in STEM education
JF  - EMOOCs 2023 : Post-Covid Prospects for Massive Open Online Courses - Boost or Backlash?
N2  - Online learning in mathematics has always been challenging, especially for mathematics in STEM education. This paper presents how to make “one fit for all” lecture videos for mathematics in STEM education. In general, we do believe that there is no such thing as “one fit for all” video. The curriculum requires a high level of prior knowledge in mathematics from high school to get a good understanding, and the variation of prior knowledge levels among STEM education students is often high. This creates challenges for both online teaching and on-campus teaching. This article presents experimenting and researching on a video format where students can get a real-time feeling, and which fits their needs regarding their existing prior knowledge. They have the possibility to ask and receive answers during the video without having to feel that they must jump into different sources, which helps to reduce unnecessary distractions. The fundamental video format presented here is that of dynamic branching videos, which has to little degree been researched in education related studies. The reason might be that this field is quite new for higher education, and there is relatively high requirement on the video editing skills from the teachers’ side considering the platforms that are available so far. The videos are implemented for engineering students who take the Linear Algebra course at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in spring 2023. Feedback from the students gathered via anonymous surveys so far (N = 21) is very positive. With the high suitability for online teaching, this video format might lead the trend of online learning in the future. The design and implementation of dynamic videos in mathematics in higher education was presented for the first time at the EMOOCs conference 2023.
