This document introduces Dr. Martin Ebner and Mohammad Khalil, who work in the department of Social Learning at Graz University of Technology. Their areas of focus are learning analytics, MOOCs, and mobile learning. The document then discusses the concept of learning analytics, highlighting the importance of transparency, identification, ownership, accuracy, and security of student data. It also addresses the challenges of ensuring privacy through de-identification of data, which must be done formally according to various standards and regulations. While progress has been made, de-identification may still not be perfect.

Learning Analytics in MOOCs: Can Data Improve Students Retention and Learning?

Martin Ebner

1. The document discusses how learning analytics can be used to improve student retention and learning in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). It describes how data from student interactions like quiz attempts, login frequency, and forum posts can be assigned weights and used to predict whether a student is likely to dropout or complete a course. 2. Notifications or feedback generated from learning analytics data could then be provided to at-risk students to encourage continued engagement. The goal is to enhance retention and learning outcomes through targeted interventions informed by analytic insights into student behavior and performance.

When Learning Analytics Meets MOOCs - a Review on iMooX Case Studies

Mohammad Khalil

This document discusses the use of learning analytics in massive open online courses (MOOCs). It provides 5 case studies that analyzed learning analytics data from MOOCs to gain insights. The studies found that dropout rates alone do not capture student behavior, patterns in forum discussions and video interactions can reflect learning, and students learn best when videos are supplemented with other activities. The document also notes challenges of learning analytics including privacy, security, transparency and accuracy of personal data. In conclusion, it suggests MOOCs can be improved by combining them with learning analytics to better understand student learning patterns.

Learning Analytics & MOOCs- Data Issues Perspective

Mohammad Khalil

Why Undergraduates Enroll in MOOCs?

Mohammad Khalil

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offer a great opportunity for learners to enjoy learning despite their location or timing. Nevertheless, motives vary between each student and another. In this workshop paper, we are delighted to open discussions on why undergraduates may enroll in their university’s MOOCs? Are they looking for ECTS points? Or do they want to build a stronger background in their classes? We support answers to these questions using the Cryer scheme of Elton. Expected debates will summarize student motives in blended learning.

Learning Analytics: Principles and Constraints

Mohammad Khalil

This document discusses learning analytics principles and constraints. It explores how learning analytics can help students improve performance and predict grades, while enhancing retention. However, it notes learning analytics faces phases and constraints, including potential issues like mistaken predictions and ethical breaches if not implemented properly. The document outlines constraints such as revealing personal student information, collecting and analyzing data, and ensuring confidentiality, integrity and availability of student data under various laws and policies.

Does Gamification in MOOC discussion forums Work?

Mohammad Khalil

The document discusses gamification in MOOC discussion forums and whether it increases participation and engagement. It presents on a study comparing discussion forum data from a MOOC before and after adding gamification elements. While registered users and certification ratios increased slightly with the new design, the percentage of users who never used the forums also increased. The conclusion is that gamification did not make a real difference in participation. External factors like ECTS rewards and increased MOOC advertisement may have contributed more to participation changes.

Martin Ebner

The document discusses the potential of MOOCs, learning analytics, and open educational resources (OER) for the future of education. It presents 5 theses on lessons learned from analyzing MOOC participation data: 1) dropout rates are overstated, 2) MOOCs enable participatory education, 3) effort does not predict success, 4) analytics reveal classroom learning patterns, and 5) learning occurs continuously. OER-MOOCs could make education widely accessible through open sharing of knowledge and innovative teaching models like flipped classroom. The author argues learning analytics are important to improve OER-MOOC platforms and online education.

When Learning Analytics Meets MOOCs

Martin Ebner

The document discusses findings from applying learning analytics to MOOCs. It summarizes that learning analytics of MOOCs has shown that the dropout rate is not as high as assumed, with many learners participating intensively for the first 4 weeks. While effort levels varied considerably between learners, higher effort did not necessarily predict success in courses. Learning analytics also provided insights into how learning happens for groups of students in MOOC classrooms.

Gamification in MOOCs: a Review of the State of the Art

Mohammad Khalil

A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a type of online learning environment that has the potential to increase students’ access to education. However, the low completion rates in MOOCs suggest that student engagement and progression in the courses are problematic. Following the increasing adoption of gamification in education, it is possible that gamification can also be effectively adopted in MOOCs to enhance students’ motivation and increase completion rates. Yet at present, the extent to which gamification has been examined in MOOCs is not known. Considering the myriad gamification elements that can be adopted in MOOCs (e.g., leaderboards and digital badges), this theoretical research study reviews scholarly publications examining gamification of MOOCs. The main purpose is to provide an overview of studies on gamification in MOOCs, types of research studies, theories applied, gamification elements implemented, methods of implementation, the overall impact of gamification in MOOCs, and the challenges faced by researchers and practitioners when implementing gamification in MOOCs. The results of the literature study indicate that research on gamification in MOOCs is in its early stages. While there are only a handful of empirical research studies, results of the experiments generally showed a positive relation between gamification and student motivation and engagement. It is concluded that there is a need for further studies using educational theories to account for the effects of employing gamification in MOOCs.

Bluetooth

Maha GS

Bluetooth is a wireless standard that allows various electronic devices to connect and exchange data within a short range of about 10 meters. Devices that support the Bluetooth standard can communicate without needing a physical connection. Bluetooth devices are classified into power classes based on their output power and range. Class 1 devices have the greatest range up to 100 meters. Bluetooth works by having devices exchange addresses and capabilities when within range, then using radio frequencies to connect and transfer data wirelessly at speeds up to 721 Kbps. Connections can be between two devices or multipoint between more than two. Bluetooth enables wireless connectivity between devices like computers, printers, and headsets.

PERSPECTIVE ON CIVILIZATION II

Lyceum of the Philippines University- Cavite

Civilizations are the broadest level of cultural identity that distinguishes groups of people. A civilization may include many nation states that share characteristics like religion, history, and language, or consist of a single nation. Civilizations are dynamic - they rise and fall, divide, and merge over time. Samuel Huntington argued that global interactions will increasingly occur between major civilizations like Western, Islamic, and Confucian rather than between individual nations, increasing tensions along civilizational lines. He identified seven or eight major civilizations that could clash due to religious and cultural differences intensified by growing global interactions and connectivity.

This document summarizes a report that examines how 14 democratic countries fund and protect the independence of public media. It finds that countries generally use several approaches: multi-year funding to lessen political pressure; structures that link public media directly to audiences; charters that require public-interest content while restricting government influence; and independent agencies/boards as buffers between media and governments. As a result, public media provide more public affairs coverage and viewpoints than commercial media. However, countries vary in how well their systems are funded and insulated from political interference. The report provides models for the U.S. to consider strengthening its own modest public media system.
