Massive open online courses (MOOCs) become more and more popular. These course formats are typically highly flexible and attract large groups of learners from heterogeneous backgrounds. So far research in this area concentrating on success factors for low dropout rates and high satisfaction on the side of the learners in MOOCs is scarce. In this chapter, we describe experiences of a large online course offered to students of two large German universities. Based on theory drawn from a social psychological perspective on the relevance of social interaction for learning, we describe the background, structure, and specific elements of the MOOC-like course. We outline evaluation results of both small group collaboration (in workshops) and mass interaction (via forum and wiki usage) as well as results of the general evaluation of the overall course concept. We argue that the specific mixture of small and large group interaction as well as teacher- and learner-generated content is especially promising with regard to satisfaction, learning outcomes, and course completion rates.

DamokleS 4.0
(2019)
Dieser interne Bericht beschreibt die Zielsetzung, Durchführung und Auswertung des Projektes Damokles 4.0. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, neue, digitale Technologien in die Schwerindustrie einzuführen um Produktionsprozesse zu modernisieren. Unter Einsatz neuer Technologien, insbesondere mobiler Geräte, soll ein cyberphyiskalisches System (CPS) eine kontextbasierte und künstlich intelligente Unterstützung der Mitarbeiter in den Bereichen der Schwerindustrie ermöglichen. Hierzu werden typische Anwendungsfälle und die damit verbundenen Szenarien zur Unterstützung der Mitarbeiter auf Basis von neuen, flexiblen, adaptiven und mobilen Technologien, wie Augmented Reality und künstlicher Intelligenz, modelliert. Um den Prototypen einer AR-Anwendung und einer kamerabasierte Personenverfolgung zu entwickeln, hat die Hochschule Ruhr West im kleinen Technikum am Campus Bottrop eine entsprechende industrielle Umgebung simuliert. Die Projektergebnisse zeigen die Anwendbarkeit der vorgeschlagenen Softwareansätze und die Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung der psychologischen Einflüsse auf die Mitarbeiter.
Industry 4.0 is known as the fourth industrial revolution which refers to the integration of technologies that make the factories interoperable by seamlessly connecting machines, employees and sensors for communication. In Industry 4.0, one of the key features is the use of new technologies to recognize the current context. Thus, the employees are supported with contextual information for speeding up decision-making during various processes related to planning, production, maintenance, etc. As a contribution to this area, the work described here aims to introduce a cyber-physical system (CPS) approach to provide context-based and intelligent support to employees in heavy industries using new technologies, especially in the field of mobile devices. In this work, mobile device sensors and image processing techniques are used to recognize the context which requires specific support. In addition, new scenarios and associated processes are developed to support the employees on the basis of new, flexible, adaptive and mobile technologies.
Applications and research efforts in Mobile Learning constitute a growing field in the area of Technology Enhanced Learning. However, despite a permanent increase of mobile internet accessibility and availability of mobile devices over the past years, a mobile learning environment that is easy to use, widely accepted by teachers and learners, uses widespread off-the-shelf software, and that covers various application scenarios and mobile devices, is not yet available. In this paper, we address this issue by presenting an approach and technical framework called "Mobile Contributions" ("MoCo"). MoCo supports learners to create and send contributions through various channels (including third-party solutions like Twitter, SMS and Facebook), which are collected and stored in a central repository for processing, filtering and visualization on a shared display. A set of different learning and teaching scenarios that can be realized with MoCo are described along with first experiences and insights gained from qualitative and quantitative evaluation.
Öffentliche Diskussionen zum autonomen Fahren zeigen einen hohen Anspruch, dass die Algorithmen in kritischen Fällen Entscheidungen nach ethischen Kriterien fällen. Diese für die Vielzahl von denkbaren Verkehrssituationen so zu erfassen, dass sie den Vorstellungen eines größten Teils der Bevölkerung entspricht, stellt eine große methodische Herausforderung dar. In dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, in wie weit eine überlegte Entscheidung mit dem Verhalten in einem Fahrsimulator übereinstimmt. Dabei wird bei einem großen Teil der Teilnehmer:innen ein Widerspruch zwischen geäußertem beabsichtigtem Handeln und tatsächlichem Handeln offenbar.
With the spread of mobile devices among both, men and women, app-based games also become more popular. While traditionally, digital games are more famous among men, women seem to spend more time and money on mobile gaming. There are a lot of open questions with regard to women and gaming in general; research on gender differences in app-based mobile gaming is almost nonexistent. Taking an exploratory perspective, our study investigates gender differences in general usage patterns, attachment towards the game and motivational differences for choosing to play the famous QuizClash app. Also, we identify differences in reported and actual performance in specific categories and capture anticipation of success as well as likeliness of choosing specific knowledge categories depending on the opponents’ performance profile.
