Playing and Reflecting Games: The Production of Gamified Learning Artefacts in Teacher Education
Get PDFAt the University, students played and reflected on different games within a digital course conducted by the teaching study program. In one session students chose and played different games. Guided by questions, they discussed and reflected in groups the potential of games for their own future teaching. Their new found experience was critical for the production of a gamified learning artefact in moodle. The self-evaluation showed that the participants were able to utilize their new set of skills and develop, implement and improve a learning artefact over a self-chosen topic. The following paper describes the didactical approach. We share the results of the students perspectives and learning outcomes towards game based dialogue. Students consider gamification and games as useful for different aspects of teaching
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Unterstützung Lehrender bei der OER-Produktion
No full textDie erfolgreiche Verankerung offener Bildungsressourcen (OER) in der akademischen Lehrpraxis erfordert die Unterstützung der Lehrenden auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen. Dieser Vortrag identifiziert die wesentlichen Ansatzpunkte für solche Unterstützung und zeigt beispielhaft auf, wie sie implementiert werden kann.
Im Rahmen des Hochschulraumstrukturmittel-Projekts Open Education Austria (OEA) der Universität Wien, der Technischen Universität Graz, der Universität Graz und der Universität Innsbruck wurden Unterstützungsmaßnahmen für Lehrende im Arbeitspaket 1 definiert und seit Sommer 2016 an den Universitäten Wien und Innsbruck systematisch implementiert. Die Fragestellungen, mit denen die beratenden Dienstleistungseinrichtungen sich konfrontiert sehen, lassen sich in die drei Kategorien Urheberrecht/Lizenzierung, Medienproduktion und Mediendidaktik gruppieren. An der Universität Wien wird das zentrale Unterstützungsprogramm für OER durch das Team „Digitale Lehre“ am Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) angeboten. An der Universität Innsbruck werden finanzielle Zuschüsse LehrveranstaltungsleiterInnen für die Anstellung von MitarbeiterInnen für die Materialproduktion zur Verfügung gestellt. Das Team „Digitale Medien und Lerntechnologien“ (DMLT) coacht die Beteiligten.
Urheberrechtliche und lizenztechnische Fragen stellen ein zentrales Anliegen vieler Lehrender dar, die sich zwar mit dem klassischen Zitatrecht auskennen, Lizenzmodelle wie Creative Commons aber dazu nur schwer ins Verhältnis setzen können. Maßnahmen sind hier neben Weiterbildungsangeboten eine Online-Liste mit häufig gestellten Fragen (FAQ) und Einzelfallberatungen, wobei auch auf juristische Expertise zurückgegriffen werden kann.
Mediendidaktische Beratung findet vorwiegend fallbasiert statt, wenn Lehrende digitale Medien gezielt einsetzen möchten, um beispielsweise Studierende besser auf Studieninhalte und –abläufe vorzubereiten.
Der handwerkliche Aspekt der Produktion unterschiedlichster Medienformate (Videos, Grafiken, Audio) bildet mit Abstand das am häufigsten nachgefragte Unterstützungsangebot. Es bindet die meisten Ressourcen, und häufig werden im Vor- und Nachgang auch urheberrechtliche und mediendidaktische Beratung nachgefragt. Es zeigte sich, dass die Vermittlung von „Hilfe zur Selbsthilfe“, die Qualifizierung und Motivation Lehrender zur selbstständigen Medienproduktion, sich schwierig gestaltet, was im Umkehrschluss ein qualitativ hochwertiges und effizienzoptimiertes Dienstleistungsangebot dauerhaft rechtfertigen kann.</p
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
