The virtual classroom continues to grow, but it is becoming more and more the norm, and it is fundamentally different from the vocational students at the Indonesian university. With the promised benefits of the virtual classroom, many challenges and difficulties come in the implementation. Although there are already successful design principles for virtual classrooms that support organizations in overcoming the challenges, the approach to implementing the design principles of virtual classroom at the vocational higher education in Indonesia is still lacking. In this study, we aim to answer the research gap and used the design sciences research by interviewing the lecturers to design the solutions. The proposed design approaches were implemented in a course and evaluated with students from two different groups. Overall, the evaluation of the proposed approaches shows1 significant results as an indicator of the benefits of the implementation of a virtual classroom for vocational students in Indonesia.
Starting with the automatic gear change, the operation of a vehicle becomes more and more abstract. In the future, we could control vehicles with single, simple commands. For such a maneuver-based vehicle control system, we investigate a head-up display design in a workshop. The aims are to identify common and distinct features of various display designs through mock-ups. First results show that different sizes of GUI elements are preferred by different states. The preferred position of GUI elements in the head-up display (HUD) is the central bottom area. We found two major interface design styles: static interfaces (all elements visible) with fixed layout and dynamic interfaces (only relevant elements visible) with fixed or adaptive layout.
Kaum ein sicherheitskritisches System hat eine so große Verbreitung bei Privatpersonen gefunden wie das Automobil. Seit seiner Erfindung hat es eine rasante Weiterentwicklung erfahren, von einer rein mechanischen Maschine zu einem System, bei dem heute die meisten Innovationen auf elektronischen Komponenten basieren. Dazu zählen insbesondere Fahrerassistenzsysteme, die helfen sollen, komfortabler und sicherer am Ziel der Fahrt anzukommen. Wo einst z. B. der Tempomat einfach über die Einstellung einer festen Geschwindigkeit gesteuert wurde, sind heute bereits einzelne Systeme deutlich umfangreicher und das Zusammenspiel longitudinaler und lateraler Automatisierung führt zu einem Anstieg der Komplexität. Die sichere Bedienung des Fahrzeugs muss jedoch im Vordergrund stehen, kann ein Fehler doch schnell bis hin zu tödliche Folgen haben. In diesem Kapitel werden psychologische Grundlagen vorgestellt und auf die Herausforderungen für die Entwicklung von HMIs im Fahrzeug angewandt. Konkrete Umsetzungen von aktuellen Fahrzeugen bis hin zu Forschungsarbeiten werden betrachtet, ebenso wird auf den Entwicklungsprozess und Nutzerstudien eingegangen.
Sicherheitskritische Mensch-Computer-Interaktion ist nicht nur derzeit, sondern auch zukünftig ein äußerst relevantes Thema. Hierbei kann ein Lehr- und Fachbuch, wie dieses, immer nur einen punktuellen Stand abdecken. Dennoch kann der Versuch unternommen werden, aktuelle Trends zu identifizieren und einen Ausblick in die Zukunft zu wagen. Genau das möchte dieses Kapitel erreichen: Es sollen zukünftige Entwicklungen vorausgesagt und versucht werden, diese korrekt einzuordnen. Das ist an dieser Stelle nicht nur durch den Herausgeber, sondern durch Abfrage bei zahlreichen am Lehrbuch beteiligten Autoren geschehen. Neben einem Ausblick auf Grundlagen und Methoden werden dementsprechend auch sicherheitskritische interaktive Systeme und sicherheitskritische kooperative Systeme abgedeckt.
Fahrer benötigen zur sicheren Steuerung ihres Fahrzeugs im Straßenverkehr eine Reihe von Anzeigen. Viele Funktionen zur Fahrerassistenz benötigen Eingaben des Fahrers. Wie auch in den vergangenen Jahren die Funktionsvielfalt gewachsen ist, sind auch Anzeige und Bedienelemente gestiegen. Im vorangegangen Kapitel wurde bereits die Begrenztheit der menschlichen Leistungsfähigkeit bei der gleichzeitigen Aufnahme und Interpretation von Informationen dargelegt. Die Herausforderung an das HMI im Fahrzeug ist durch die gewachsene Anzahl und auch Komplexität der Systeme enorm gestiegen. In diesem Kapitel sollen zu ausgewählten Funktionen die Anzeige und Bedienkonzepte vorgestellt werden, von einfachen Anzeigen bis zu Strategien für das autonom fahrende Fahrzeug. Dabei wird ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die sicherheitsrelevanten Aspekte gelegt.
Nowadays, teachers and students utilize different ICT devices for conducting innovative and educational activities from anywhere at any time. The enactment of these activities relies on robust communication and computational infrastructures used for supporting technological devices enabling better accessibility to educational resources and pedagogical scaffolds, wherever and whenever necessary. In this paper, we present EDU.Tube: an interactive environment that relies on web and mobile solutions offered to teachers and students for authoring and incorporating educational interactions at specific moments along the time line of occasional YouTube video-clips. The teachers and students could later experience these authored artefacts while interacting from their stationary or mobile devices. We describe our efforts related to the design, deployment and evaluation of an educational activity supported by the EDU.Tube environment. Furthermore, we illustrate the specific teachers’ and students’ efforts practiced along the different phases of this educational activity. The evaluation of this activity and results are presented, followed by a discussion of these findings, as well as some recommendations for future research efforts further elaborating on EDU.Tube’s aspects in relation to learning analytics.
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.
This chapter describes our current research efforts related to the contextualization of learners in mobile learning activities. Substantial research in the field of mobile learning has explored aspects related to contextualized learning scenarios. However, new ways of interpretation and consideration of contextual information of mobile learners are necessary. This chapter provides an overview regarding the state of the art of innovative approaches for supporting contextualization in mobile learning. Additionally, we provide the description of the design and implementation of a flexible multi-dimensional vector space model to organize and process contextual data together with visualization tools for further analysis and interpretation. We also present a study with outcomes and insights on the usage of the contextualization support for mobile learners. To conlcude, we discuss the benefits of using contextualization models for learners in different use-cases. Moreover, a description is presented in order to illustrate how the proposed contextual model can easily be adapted and reused for different use-cases in mobile learning scenarios and potentially other mobile fields.
This chapter describes our research efforts related to the design of mobile learning (m-learning) applications in cloud-computing (CC) environments. Many cloud-based services can be used/integrated in m-learning scenarios, hence, there is a rich source of applications that could easily be applied to design and deploy those within the context of cloud-based services. Here, we present two cloud-based approaches—a flexible framework for an easy generation and deployment of mobile learning applications for teachers, and a flexible contextualization service to support personalized learning environment for mobile learners. The framework provides a flexible approach that supports teachers in designing mobile applications and automatically deploys those in order to allow teachers to create their own m-learning activities supported by mobile devices. The contextualization service is proposed to improve the content delivery of learning objects (LOs). This service allows adapting the learning content and the mobile user interface (UI) to the current context of the user. Together, this leads to a powerful and flexible framework for the provisioning of potentially ad hoc mobile learning scenarios. We provide a description of the design and implementation of two proposed cloud-based approaches together with scenario examples. Furthermore, we discuss the benefits of using flexible and contextualized cloud applications in mobile learning scenarios. Hereby, we contribute to this growing field of research by exploring new ways for designing and using flexible and contextualized cloud-based applications that support m-learning.
