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.
This paper presents an approach towards a mobile learning environment, which is flexible in terms of supported scenarios, supported devices and input channels. The approach makes use of existing and commonly used channels like SMS, Twitter or Face book to increase acceptance and ease-of-use of mobile devices in learning scenarios. Envisaged application scenarios are described along with technical details for their realization.
Resource Usage in Online Courses: Analyzing Learner’s Active and Passive Participation Patterns
(2015)
The paper analyzes the experience with an open university course for a very heterogeneous target group in which MOOC-like materials and activities were used. The course was conducted in a specifically prepared and extended Moodle environment. The analysis involves questionnaires as well as performance data that reflect the resource access on the learning platform. A special focus is put on the participants’ acceptance and usage of student-generated versus teacher-provided learning content. Network analysis techniques have been used to identify "interest clusters" of students around certain resources.
Die Entwicklung von vollautomatisierten Fahrzeugen wird in der gesellschaftlichen Diskussion immer präsenter. Wichtig für die Durchsetzung und verbreitete Nutzung dieser technischer Neuerungen ist jedoch vor allem die Akzeptanz der Bevölkerung – in diesem Fall nicht nur die der potenziellen KäuferInnen sondern auch die der übrigen Verkehrs-teilnehmenden. Vorgestellt wird eine explorative Online-Studie zur Akzeptanz von auto-nomen Fahren basierend auf quantitativen und qualitativen Daten einer Stichprobe von N = 89. Die Ergebnisse zeigen unter anderem eine geringe Vertrautheit mit dem Thema, ein vergleichsweise ausgeprägtes Vertrauen aber eine geringe Nutzungsabsicht.
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.
Positive Computing umfasst Design, Realisierung und Bewertung von Anwendungssystemen und deren Einflüsse mit dem Ziel, Lebensqualität und Wohlbefinden von Menschen zu verbessern und sie bei der Entfaltung ihrer Potenziale zu unterstützen. Das Institut Positive Computing (IPCo) an der Hochschule Ruhr West soll dieses neue Paradigma in einem inter- und transdisziplinären Ansatz erschließen, untersuchen und umsetzen. Das Paradigma ist anwendbar auf nahezu alle Bereiche des privaten und beruflichen Lebens. Die Forschung des IPCo fokussiert zunächst jedoch auf die positive Nutzung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien (IKT) für generationenübergreifende Herausforderungen. Hierzu sollen technologische Lösungen unter kontinuierlicher Einbeziehung menschlicher Bedürfnisse und sozialer Fragestellungen erarbeitet
werden.
